RE: Some keys stopped working
Hello John,
It happened to me as well a couple of months ago.
I kept the Prime in my jacket for a month in order to use it whenever I had the possibility to do and it is possible that some vibrations disconnected the keyboard connector inside the calculator.

I did a back up, open the display case based on a couple of YouTube videos and replugged the connector.
In reality I didn’t notice that the connector was unplugged; probably it was a matter of fraction of a mm. However as soon as I did it it worked again as new.

The hint came from Tim. I also strengthen the keyboard screws but I was told that the issue was the keyboard connector.

Now it works like a charm again.

Thanks

Giancarlo
