Help! Boot Dilemma
I have a killer problem during boot.
The BIOS display on my DELL deskktop will not respond to any keyboard function key. I noticed this morning that the BIOS showed 'keyboard failure', but after XP SP2 came up with its desktop, the keyboard worked just fine. God only knows how long this has been going on, and I just didn't notice it. tried it a few times just to be sure. That would not be a problem, except I mucked things up further by replacing the MOBO battery, thinking that might help by resetting the BIOS. It didn't. Now the BIOS hangs up requiring me to press F1 or F2 to continue, which of course I can't because the keyboard is not recognized. I have tried two other keyboards to no avail. The keyboards all work in a second machine. Am I dead in the water? Is there anything I can do? Thanks Jas |
