I have a problem I'm hoping someone here can help with.

Picked up an SX-64 this past weekend. Worked fine when I first tested it,
cleaned it down (was pretty grimy) and let it sit for 2 days.

Went to power it up today, I get the normal startup screen and ready
prompt but oddly the cursor is stuck at the upper left corner of the
screen instead of down by the ready prompt. Can't type a thing, though
I know the keyboard is still working (cartridge games are able to read the
keyboard just fine).

Anyone have any idea what happened?

It sounds like the "CLR/HOME" key is stuck. :)
