Silver grate thing is most likely a heat sink. It helps with cooling. |

Before you start poking around with hardware, I'd venture to guess that it's Windows' "Accessibility Options" kicking in: http://www.opendoorworld.com/key-accessibility-1.htm Go to Control Panel -> Accessibility Options. In the "Keyboard" tab, click the "Settings" button by each of the three shortcuts and UNCHECK "use shortcut". |

--- Quote from: Truz on March 16, 2004, 09:38:31 pm ---ok i havent gotten the grease yet but i have a question. I got the fan off and between the fan and the cpu is this big silver metal grate looking thing. What the hell is that. I got it off (it is held in by clips on both sides) so what is this thing and was purpose does it serve. It is pretty big and separated the cpu from the fan. Just out of curiosity what is it? --- End quote --- Salty is right, it's a heatsink... |

I think Sasquatch! is on to something. Check those "Accessibility Options". |

sasquatch i already remapped the buttons on the x-arcade to all letter keypresses so that shouldnt even cause the problem. i am not using alt shift or control anymore. |
