To set the scene: I have an Amstrad ALT-386sx laptop, with a Cyrix 486SRx2
upgrade fitted.

About six months ago, I started having strange keyboard problems, centred
around the use of Ctrl+Alt key combinations (like Ctrl+Alt+Del for reboot,
and some hotkeys in Windows, etc.).  I spent hours cleaning the keyboard
and such like, but to no avail.  Finally, after much frustration, my PC
died completely.  Power came on but it just wouldn't boot.  Anyway, some
bright spark suggested I remove the Cyrix upgrade.  Hey presto, all
problems gone!  I sent the chip away, got a replacement, and all was fine.
Til now.... :(

All of a sudden, I've lost the use of Ctrl+Alt again.  Then a few days ago
I couldn't read/write/format/anything floppy disks.  Remebering what
happened last time, I removed the Cyrix chip.  The floppy drive is working
again (for how long though....?), but I still can't do anything involving
Ctrl+Alt, even though the keys work fine on their own.

I've tried everything from cleaning, virus scan, kick up the arse, all to
no avail.

Any ideas anyone? TIA,
