Re: OT: Keyboard failure

[Doogie Brodie <ukhad@xxxxxxx>]

Have you tried plugging a USB keyboard in? I *think* I've had PCs 
recognise USB keyboards without changing the BIOS...... :S Have you 
tried just leaving it for 10 minutes incase it has some sort of 
autocontinue timeout period?

Have you physically inspected the motherboard to see if there's any 
obvious damage on the connector to motherboard connection which a drop 
of solder might fix...?
