No Keyboard Present error
My A7N8X deluxe no longer recognizes the keyboard. I figured the PS/2
connection was bad when two different keyboards did not work. I just tried a USB keyboard and I still have the problem. Any idea of how to get through the POST error that does not allow the PC to progress past the POST? Thanks, ...Bfried |

Have you checked to see if your board offers something called "USB Legacy
Support". When enabled, this is suppose to allow USB keyboards and mice to function like they are hooked to the PS/2 ports. Sorry if this was not helpful. I don't have your board so I cannot "play" to see if USB keyboards would work for me. Paul "Bfried" wrote in message ... My A7N8X deluxe no longer recognizes the keyboard.

Paul Ummmm..........if POST halts due to a no keyboard error how do you propose to get into the BIOS setup program in order to make those changes? -- callsignviper The truth is out there. You just have to look in the right places and ask the right questions. |

Thanks, ...Bfried Most likely your PS/2 keyboard has failed. Without BIOS support for a USB keyboard being enabled you need to get another new or working PS/2 keyboard to test with. If the new PS/2 keyboard works then you know your old keyboard has most likely failed. If the new keyboard works then I suggest you enable BIOS support for a USB keyboard. That will allow you to use a USB based keyboard in the future if your PS/2 based keyboard dies again. -- callsignviper The truth is out there.

If you can't get any keyboard to work, then there is no way that I know of
to get into the BIOS and configure it to bypass the Keyboard check duing boot-up. Time for an RMA/replacement of the board I'm afraid, as it's next to useless without a working keyboard interface. You could try Clearing the CMOS with the CLRTC jumper to reset the BIOS to defaults, but it probably won't do any good if the keyboard interface is fried. By some remote chance it could enable the USB legacy setting and allow the USB keyboard to work in the BIOS. It might even set it to bypass the keyboard error if you're really, really lucky..... Still wont get past the problem of a dead keyboard interface. John S. "Bfried" wrote in message ... My A7N8X deluxe no longer recognizes the keyboard.
