Solve : Keyboard doesn't work. Not even to config BIOS? |
|
Answer» A few hours ago I turned on my computer and upon trying to type my password found that my keyboard wasn't working. I restarted then tried USING a USB keyboard, which also didn't work. This confused me since my USB mouse was working just fine. Next I decided to check the boot SEQUENCE on the BIOS, but after hitting f2 all the keyboards' lights went out and they stopped working again. Check again under your BIOS settings and look for any options available and try enabling them; System keyboard, USB Function or USB Legacy Support. Reset Config Data - If this feature is also present, try disabling it and save & exit. You could also try swapping places with mouse and keyboard ports or any ports available to see the difference.I wish I could, but after I go into the BIOS settings my keyboards stop working.You mean the keyboard was working when hitting F8 and suddenly becomes unresponsive while in BIOS? How about reconnecting the USB and or using a PS/2 keyboard?I tried using both a ps/2 and usb keyboard. Both became unresponsive after hitting f2Are you able to boot to your WIN XP system? Also, is your mouse still recognized or functioning on desktop and other windows environment?Quote trying to type my password found that my keyboard wasn't workingI forgot that you need to log in to load your system. Since both USB and PS/2 port are not working for your keyboard, I think the only way is to change your CMOS battery to reset your BIOS default configuration and hopefully it was just there that your problem lies. Other than that, maybe you could just use another power supply(same or greater wattage) to check for any power issues.It seems the problem has fixed itself. I turned on the computer and to my surprise I was able to type my password Will this happen again? Should I take any precautions?There is always the possibility since it made that certain behavior as it may be more of a hardware issue or faulty. Check your connector pins for those certain devices on the tower. But its always better to hear that you are now running up and well. Check on my 4th reply as it would be viable to making good troubleshooting tips pertaining to your keyboard/mouse issues.

Though the problem should be fixed since you plug it. Anyway if you meet this problem again, just reset the CMOS battery and everything should be back as normal.Check the CMOS battery or just buy a new one for $4. |
