First, I posted the question/comment in the "Getting Started" section mainly because I still consider myself a very new user to both the PBP and to Manjaro. I think the situation is at least corrected, if not fixed entirely. Additional testing and use of the PBP will tell. What I did to correct the problem was to erase all the data on the micro USB card that was used to install Manjaro after an earlier, similar, problem. After re-flashing the micro USB card, the PBP booted into the initial start menu where I set (reset) the general location and time zone, etc. Again, the problem that prompted me to post the message here has been corrected. It might take several more days of use to see if the problem is fully corrected.
Side note about paper clips: There are times when a paper clip can be very (make that VERY) useful especially after straightening one end (or leg) of the paper clip. Looking at the keyboard and screen of the PBP, on the left side of the keyboard just behind the spot where the power cord is plugged in, there is a small hole. That hole is about the size of the paper clip that has been straightened and can be used to reset the laptop.
