 > I took the base completely apart and gently lifted the lower left-hand
 corner of the rubber keys up from the sensors. I looked at the ALT sensor,
 but didn't see anything obviously different about it. After putting the
 machine back together, my ALT troubles have vanished. It's now been nearly
 24 hours since then and I tested the keyboard hourly for the first 12
 hours of that. Since this has been a fairly intermittent problem for me, I
 can't declare success yet, but it looks very promising.

 And for closure: My ALT troubles came back yesterday. So far none of my
 troubleshooting has had a lasting effect. I've sent email for an RMA
 number and will be sending my XO back for repair/replacement.
