Answer» i think my motherboard is now DEAD -.- i try to revive my old antique motherboard. Its a celeron that i just stopped using since I had new toy computers. then I just challenged myself of reviving it. I installed an xp on my spare HDD using that pc and it worked well. When my brother installed the Nero and restarted, I received a message 108: unlock keyboard during the POST. I was thinking it was just my CMOS so I removed it for 3mins the place it back. It works fine for a while but after giving another restart, the error came back. I try to give it another CMOS reset but didn't work. I turn the pc on and off for few times but no luck. after 10mins, I went back to that compuer and turn it on and this time I have no screen output anymore. I could feel my CPU still running but no screen display. ugh. I was reviving it just for fun anyway but I wanted to have some SECON opinion if my mobo is now officially dead. I had it back in the 90's by the way and got stucked for 8 years now if I'm not mistaken.Try Red...Try Red? What the... Replace the CMOS battery. That sounds more of a likely culprit than anything.

i think my motherboard is now DEAD -.-

i try to revive my old antique motherboard. Its a celeron that i just stopped using since I had new toy computers. then I just challenged myself of reviving it. I installed an xp on my spare HDD using that pc and it worked well. When my brother installed the Nero and restarted, I received a message 108: unlock keyboard during the POST.

I try to give it another CMOS reset but didn't work. I turn the pc on and off for few times but no luck.

after 10mins, I went back to that compuer and turn it on and this time I have no screen output anymore. I could feel my CPU still running but no screen display.

ugh. I was reviving it just for fun anyway but I wanted to have some SECON opinion if my mobo is now officially dead.

I think he was referring to using green print on a gray background that made it hard to read.
