The ctrl-T trick might work with a keyboard connected via
the serial line pins. With my USB keyboard and HDMI display
combo it doesn't do anything at all.
Surely the system must be waiting for something. Of that I
am quite certain. It does not panic and it keeps reacting to
the USB keyboard being disconnected and connected. Obviously
it is still otherwise fine, at least sort of, but also firmly
stuck waiting an event which either never happens or which
goes undetected for some reason.
