An update, really, to my 17Apr post.
It turns out that the cause of that problem was a piece of debris that had fallen onto the ic board. There was also some soldering that had to be done, perhaps related. Another argument for keeping our keyboards as clean as possible.
In this case, the cost was $480, about what a basic TC is worth now. The technician thought at first that the problem was stuck or sticky buttons. Turned out not to be the case. The reason for the high cost was that the solution to each diagnosis had to be tested on its own, which involved putting the case back together and trying it out. Something the tech had to do 3 times. He described the process as a minor nightmare.
