check if the 2 key is lower than normal, if not try to tale off the topcover and remove the keyboard from mainboard if it still 2222222 something is very wrong if it stops after removed keyboard there must be a shortcut somewhere.

i had a problem with my joystickport on a svi738 it was a bad ls157 chip but i am afraid the turbo r is much more advanced than this

good luck.

The TurboR uses a keyboard membrane, if the key is not stuck, as CrazyBoss suggests, try to press repeatedly this key and the neighbouring keys. If it still doesn't works you'll need to open the machine and locate the key position in the membrane, usually the fault is a false contact due membrane displacements or dust acumulated. Clean the whole membrane and mount it again with care, it will work for sure
