I've been trying to come up with a reasonable explanation for this
behavior.
OK, it may not be a reasonable explanation, but it does make 'sense'--
is it possible that the text color is the same as the background color,
so that letters are being typed, but you simply don't *see* them? I
don't have the faintest clue how one would manage this, but the thing
is, if hitting CapsLock and NumLock has visible results, *the keyboard
is working*, afaik. So presumably typing letters is working as well.
Just an idea,

Or maybe the selected shell didn't initialize, including grub's if this
is at that point?
I have not been following this thread, but I did notice this entry, so I
must apologize if I just acquired Toe-&-Heel Breath (stuck my foot into
my mouth), but it seemed like a valid thought...
Holly,
Knowing more than a tiny bit about the hdw itself myself, your afaik is
correct, unless there is a major bust inside the kbd itself; anybody
thrown the poor thing against a wall lately? -- I do know this thread
has long, silverey whiskers....->
rgh.
