Yes, that does sound painfully similiar to the trouble I had. 
In the end (a couple of weeks later), the mouse cursor just went 
uncontrollable in all directions. My ST is unusable now.

The repair guy [who usually isn't too bad in fixing things] couldn't find
the problem either, but he is sure that neither one of the 'big chips (*)' is
causing the problem. Well I bought a new computer and try to fix the old ST
myself. I think of replacing the LS244 from the keyboard and the 
'Kondensatoren' (I have no idea, what that is in English). I don't have
much hope though.

Just in case someone did fix a similiar problem:
			"How did you do it ?"


(*) MFP, 6850, Keyboardchip.

    He sez, that this is in the majority of cases the problem!
