Go button died

So last night in the middle of Act II, the Go button on my rental Ion died.  It's an ancient artefact of a console. I found save files from 2009.

The console Go button stopped responding to input. The back button stopped responding to input.  The external keyboard spacebar stopped responding to input.

but when the keyboard was locked, pressing the spacebar resulted in the Alt+G to unlock message. At the same moment as all of this, the configuration of my DSs on workspace 3 all shrank in size. (Weird, right?)

Exit to shell nor rebooting cold had any affect. Go button remains dead.

I made a macro to goto Q next, so I managed.... but I have nothing to remedy the failure. In the end, it's a rental, I'll let the shop deal with serious issues. but if I can remedy this, it'd make the 3 shows left more tolerable.

Thanks!

  • I'm betting you already know this but am posting this in case anyone runs across this thread looking for a solution for the Go button not working.  I was intrigued by your Go button workaround and opened Nomad to try it.  I recorded a few cues and tried running the cues by pressing GoTo Cue Next Enter but the cues ran in the default GoTo Cue time of 5 seconds.  So I tried GoTo Cue Next Time Enter and the cues ran at their recorded times.
    Best of luck with the rental.
