Corona 4 Portable SHift Lock not releasing...
Just got my first Corona four yesterday. I noticed that when I press on shift lock, it engages, but when I press on the left shift key, or any shift key, it does not disengage. It is not dirt, i have cleaned it. What could be wrong?

I have a Corona 3, but don't know how different they are. I can look later and see if I can see how mine works.

Im pretty sure the shift mechanism is about the same.

I thought that on mine the shift lock had to be released by pushing the lock button again in the other direction. I haven't played with that machine very much yet.

Thats what I thought, and then I read the online manual which says tap the left shift button.
