 Broken Plus4

Hi,

I'm hoping someone here can tell me what's wrong with my Plus4.

I set it up after leaving it in a drawer for a few months and as soon as I power on it starts printing the number 2 across the screen.

I don't know how to upload a screenshot from my phone, but I'm sure you know what I mean.

READY.

Thanks,
Scott

Maybe a Stuck Key or joystick

The joystick wasn't plugged in, and I did try wiggling the keyboard button to loosen it.

I'll have another look tonight.

Cheers.

you need to disassemble the keyboard and see what's going on inside, beneath the "2" key. Something is probably short circuiting the board there. I used to glue tin foil on the bottom of the keys because they stopped being responsive a long time ago and then the foil pieces kept detaching once in a while. This caused the same symptom.
