      If the keyboard does not work at all then you cannot make any BIOS changes to enable legacy USB support that would allow a USB keyboard to work at boot.

      Since you say you are getting a CMOS error at startup as well the only thing you can do at this stage is to reset the CMOS.

      Disconnect mains power. Move CMOS reset jumper to the reset position. Press start button. ( Nothing should happen )

      Return the jumper to the run position, reconnect mains power and try to startup. If you continue to experience CMOS errors and the keyboard still doesn’t work then your motherboard is probably toast.

      If you cannot identify the CMOS reset jumper then you can achieve a reset by removing the CMOS battery for 30sec ( While mains power is disconnected)
