[GreenKeys] 28 ASR Working, but...

I would look at the "Ltrs" finction bar... it may be a "blank" 
(all tines broken off)
 
 
using the keybord alternate the LTRS & FIGS keys
does the typebox attempt to move from ltrs to figs sides?

the Ltrs/Figs shift is controlled by the function box.
 
you may have a broken function bar or the funcion stripper bar may
be disconnected from the clutch arm.
