POST Keyboard error code
 

Have a keyboard fault on a laptop.

The Phoenix bios returns stuck key code 20 on the POST.

Had a look in Croucher's BIOS Companion book but cannot equate this code to a relevant key.

Any suggestions which key this code equates to. So that I can remove the keyboard and try to clean the necessary key

Thanks :ok:

My 1993 vintage book on how to upgrade PCs (from Que publishing) says it's the letter 'r' (lower case) on a 102 character keyboard, and letter 't' (lowrr case) on a 83 character keyboard.

Sorry forgot to mention it is a UK type keyboard so was wondering if the Que publication was referring to a US or UK keyboard

Thanks

It doesn't mention US/UK but I guess the code is the same for all - and the BIOS identifies the correct keyboard language variable?
