help!! my bios says no keyboard found when i boot my pc.... i put in two usb ports and rebooted and then this! also i get a cmos checksum error.. please Help,thanks!![im on my dc now]..

Esturk · February 23rd, 2002

Perhaps you have disabled USB in the BIOS. Do you have a PS2 keyboard to try? Or you can alway's clear the CMOS battery by setting a jumper on the mobo.

**cooliscool** · February 23rd, 2002

yes, i use a ps2 kb, and ive cleared cmos. the error just

means cmos needs to be cfg'd..

any other ideas? [i cant cfg cmos with no kb

]

**cooliscool** · February 23rd, 2002

Every time you boot up? Try replacing the battery on your mobo.

SanDRocK · February 23rd, 2002

is it a USB Keyboard? some bios's have a feature u have to enable like

enable usb keyboard support

or if its not usb try disableing this option in the bios....
hope this helps

**Kane** · February 23rd, 2002

No, he said it's a ps2 keyboard. Clear the bios again, and replace the battery is all I can suggest.
Actualy, you could try using another keyb from somewhere, just to test that your keyb is not naffed.

**cooliscool** · February 23rd, 2002

my kb is fine, cleared cmos a million times.. i dont think its reading the battery.. ipluuged in my pc speaker and now when i boot up it beep continuously like im holding down a key.. im gonna try replacing th battery.. also none of the lights come on on the kb. i tried it on our 1ghz cellery and it worked fine..thnx for all ur help guys

**Kane** · February 23rd, 2002

Beep continuously? That's trying to tell you something. I suggest you first remove the usb ports you added, and if that doesn't work, consult you manual or the mainboard mfg for what the beepcode means. They seem to vary board to board.

SanDRocK · February 23rd, 2002

ahhh i though he was talkin bout a regular pc keyboard lol shows how good i read hehe

anyway how do u hook a ps2 keyboard up? into the usb of the ps2?
and when did the ps2 keyboard come out???????? i needa get me 1 then lol
any1 gotta web addy where i can see 1? or even buy 1?
thx

**Betamax** · February 23rd, 2002

Erm I think there's some slight miscommunication here. It isn't a keyboard for a Playstaion 2, it actually is a pc keyboard. "Ps2" also refers to the small round sockets on the back of you pc into which a mouse or keyboard can be plugged in. Other types of keyboard are usb and DIN (IIRC).

Fou-lu · February 23rd, 2002

Ps2 keyboard

Yes the old conector was called DIN, and the ps/2 conector is also refered as mini-din.
What may be happening with his keyboard is some incompatibility with irqs (irq 12 is used for that keyboard, iirc), so remove the extra usb ports and see if the keyboard gets back on, or you can try using another keyboard (just a weird though that wouldn't hurt)...

ebola · February 24th, 2002

one of my friends who had a usb keyboard needed to use a ps/2 keyboard to intall windows. after windows was running he switched to his usb and it worked fine.

beep codes are bad news. usually indicate a ram problem or something not seated properly. make sure your dimms and the rest of your hardware is securely in. also it might help to try different hardware configs to see what devices are causeing problems. you could have a irq sharing conflict.

are sure you didnt plug your keyboard into your mouse port?

**cooliscool** · February 24th, 2002

actually it's a din kb.. yes all my ram etc is in fine, im gonna take allthe parts off the mobo,let it sit for a day. how can i fix an irq conflict? i took the usb ports out..no luck..could it have corrupted my bios chip u think? thx for your help guys,thats why i like emuforums

how do iremove em,cant get into windows with no kb being found. btw im posting using my dreamcast web browser

**Betamax** · February 24th, 2002

Ok. Next thing to try is to check to see if the keyboard is broken. Borrow a keyboard from somewhere and see if it works. If not the bleep code may be indicating that the keyboard controller is busted (new mobo required in that case

)

Oh, I though you had installed a physical usb adapter...

If the keyb controler is busted as betamax said, then try an usb keyboard, if that does not work, you're in trouble...
