Hello,
Today, while I was deleting a file on my computer using the Shift + Del command, my computer let out one long beep, and the display (and the keyboard, and the mouse) froze.
I tried to reboot, and I noticed that all 3 of the keyboard’s LEDs (Num Lock, Caps Lock, Scroll Lock) are open, but my screen displayed a “No keyboard Detected, press F1 to continue” error.
This error is somewhat ironic because I can’t really “press F1 to continue” since, you know, my keyboard keys aren’t working, but it’s making me wonder what happened because even though the keyboard keys aren’t working, all the keyboards LED lights are open.
Keyboard: Genius KB-110
Any idea what’s going on?
Try clearing the CMOS first.
Also, try blowing out the junk that can collect under the keys. Do that while the keyboard is disconnected and help upside down.
DO NOT connect a PS/2 keyboard while the computer is under power.
Have you tried to enter Windows safe mode, or setup when first starting the computer? You need to start tapping keys immediately after starting.
Are the same lights on the keyboard when you first start the computer?
Have you tried another keyboard?
You could try clearing the CMOS by using the clrcmos jumper, or removing the coin battery while the computer is unplugged.
