While in the testing screen after POST (Fn-F1), press CRTL-A, then CRTL-K, and
you can test the keyboard.  I already knew about this from experimenting with
different key combinations, but the guy who fixed my 701 said that the Fn key
is supposed to show up, but for some reason it doesn't.  Strange, huh?

Also, be careful in the BIOS after pressing CRTL-A, because if you click at the middle
top of the screen, you could enter the low level HD formatting process.  That's what
I learned the hard way.
