Third keyboard and still does the same thing(this time G3 keyboard in G4 iBook) keys appear as pressed, can be “unclicked” on virtual KB, but most keys refuse to work anyway .(CMD(both), OPT, SHIFT, CTRL, F1-F10) are somehow always working) When I place palm on right side of keyboard previously nonfunctional keys like Caps Lock start working.)

Keyboard sometimes fixes itself and works normally for some time.( caps lock lights up when pressed)

External keyboard works perfectly fine.
Both keyboards I currently have(G3 and G4 models) are known working units.(show identical pattern, although slightly different in Tiger and Leopard)

That iBook is after HDD replacement, worked fine for 4 days after reassembly.

Spare keyboards worked for like 30 minutes when first-time connected.

Looks like similar issue on Apoke forum.
