Just possibly, your reset or interrupt switches are sticking.

Particularly if an unmentioned part of your scenario is that you just
took the Mac out of it's carry-case.

You deactivate the stuck because after being pressed , on rebound the
actuator pulls out far enough.


I just had my old 128 upg'd to a Mac+.  And now the programmer
switches stick just as I'm describing to you.  

I haven't figured out yet (really, no time, if can get it to work)
just what is misaligned, which looks hard to do from how it's
designed.  But looking at it in the light shows actuator blades way
off-center in the slot, so rub on one side.


Hope this is your problem.
