Have you tried  pulling the key caps off and than turning the unit
upside down or some compressed air on the innards?  I have done this
with no damage to the note taker on some occasions.  



Thank you!

Bob:

I cable my B'N"Speak to an old 333 machine running Windows ME.  That 
function still works.  What doesn't work is chording any combination of
dots 
4, 5, or 6.
