Thanks so much for putting these posts in a "troubleshooting" discussion for us tpc newbies!
I let the bridge battery drain over the weekend and tried again this morning. It appeared to boot as usual but jumped right to the Caldera dos prompt. My usb keyboard was functional this time as it was attached at startup. Did a ctrl-alt-del to try to restart and it did but this time I lost the keyboard. I'm going to let the bridge batt drain again and let a friend take a look at it. Any ideas where to go with this?
Thanks ,ben
