355738 2005-05-16 14:27:00 i have recently (a couple of months) fixed up an old pentium 3 computer and it has been running with no problems. until recently (last week lol) for some reasons, my keyboard and mouse stops responding. when i turn on the p3, the caps lock button flashes for one second, then it does not respond anymore. when i am at my login window, the mouse does not respond either. both are ps/2 inputs. i bought usb keyboard and mouse today but no luck. apparently it doesnt respond to usb inputs unless i can get in BIOS, but again, my keyboards are not working. so can anyone help? melted_fire_orb (8132)

Just a thought - boot into safe mode and see if the PS2 problem still exists. I came across a spyware a few weeks ago that would cause KB and mouse to stop after a bit.
If the KB does not even work to allow that, then the PS2 ports are stuffed. I'd chnage the MB.

Try the PS2 keybd without the mouse attached (also check for any bent pins on the connection)
Try another keybd
Try the PS2 mouse without the keybd
If none of these work then the keybd controller on the MOBO is probably shot and unless you can get into the BIOS to enable USB keybd you're up for a new MOBO

355741 2005-05-18 12:16:00 oh the lucky me. i found out that the usb keyboards and mouse worked. they just take a much longer time. anyways. can i change the startup to enable usb so i can get in the BIOS with my usb keyboard? (hehe its one of those flexible keyboards.. lmao just for fun... looks like a jelly fish) melted_fire_orb (8132)
355742 2005-06-11 18:15:00 last time, my PS/2 didnt work. now even my USB wired or non-wired keyboards work. if i can log in, is there anyway to enable on-screen keyboard at login window, so i can make sure i can run my computer? i need my computer for server purposes, and i need to login, connect to the internet, and find out my IP.

now, is there a way to login? without changing my board?
thanks
