Concurrent: NONE
Detail:
The original keyboard signal cable (membrane) could in some cases crack and loose conductivity in some of its lands. This could result in certain key failures when operating or during POST. The POST error would be 3XX (X = any number.)
The membrane crack is the result of increased cable flexing caused by a relocation of the 365X and XD system board keyboard cable connectors. A new more robust keyboard membrane has been designed to allow for the increased flex and eliminate premature membrane failure.
The membrane (cable) is an integral part of the keyboard FRU and all keyboard FRU stock has been purged of the affected date codes.
Notes:
This ECA will expire on 08/31/1999.
Order all FRU parts locally and record Time and Material to service code 33, ECA 003, and OTHER OFFICE 990.
