hmf Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 I'm building 2 identical systems for my brother and myself. First build went smoothly with the windows install. All hardware was recognized first time out. Everything was running great. I put the second system together and the keyboard does not work when booting up. Trying to get to the bios setup I hit reset a few times when the load-up was too far along to get to the bios. Then I started to get a message that I had to reset the bios. Great...without a working keyboard it's a no go. On the other system the keyboard works both in Ps/2 mode as well as Usb so I've eliminated the keyboard as the problem. At first I thought it was the Ps/2 keyboard socket but Usb fails to work also. At any rate I did try a spare Ps/2 kb I had lying around but that didn't work either. I then cleared the Cmos by removing the battery and changing the jumper for 2 hrs. Still no go. I'm now getting a message that the Cmos was cleared and to setup the bios. The Mb led shows 1 light if that's any help. I'm coming to the conclusion that an RMA is in order but thought I'd check here first to see if anyone has any ideas.

If you've done all you said you have, then I think you've come to the conclusion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
