Hi Lou, and thanks for this answer. I was already considering buying 
another key anyway, so this way I'll be sure of what is really going 
wrong. I cleaned the contacts carefully a few weeks ago, hoping that it 
would be sufficient, but it wasn't, obviously. The pivots are correctly 
adjusted and are in front of each other. I also fiddled with the cable 
while transmitting, but to no avail...

Ok so I'm now going to innocently make a few suggestions to my wife as 
to what kind of present she could buy me for Christmas... ;-)

Best regards,

Bruno
