the shift key is working. for instance, when typing in the rows that do work - numbers and a row - i'm able to get to capitals and other punctuations. thus, from the laptop i was able to try shift mode. by the way, the bracket and backslash key on the q row DO work.
as for booting into firmware, i had to use the external keyboard for that.
one other weird thing - and it was doing this before the keyboard went whack - i can't get the log-in window to show two accounts even though it's set for show list of users. it will only show my account. i just now logged in as my bro by setting the pref to automatically log in as him (i have his password). yet, when i logged him out, the log in window only offers my account as the option to log back in.
maybe i should run Disk Utility? how might i reset the PRAM or PMU?
