Okay, I'm having trouble with the keyboard on my Quadra 610. A few months ago the Quadra stop keeping the correct time when I turned it on. I assume that some battery has died but I don't know where its at. Anyway, when I hit a key, I get pop/beep sound and I have to hold the key down for a few seconds to get it to work. The mouse that is connected to the keyboard works just fine. Is the keyboard dying?
Got a tip for us?

Nope. You've inadvertently activated "Sticky Keys".
Open the "Easy Access" control panel and turn all options off.
Sticky Keys is activated using special keystroke combinations.
Your date & time has reverted due to a flat PRAM battery. You can easily replace it. They last anything from 3 to 6 years. It's a 3.6v half AA size Lithium battery. Seen here it is the blue rectangle towards the bottom, left of center. The color of yours may be different.
