Just a public service announcement.
I thought I would work on my Yocto and as I touched the right side, I felt static discharge. Sure enough, when I turned it on, it would not do anything. Well, it would allow me to Init EPROM. I concluded I must have touched the Shift key and cooked IC7. Yes, that was what happened. The Yocto thought the Shift key was always being held down. So no other functions could be activated except Init EPROM when I had that dialed up and I pressed Play.
So remember kids, if you want some love, wear the static glove.
