| 135335 | 2003-04-12 23:54:00 | I upgraded my computer yesterday with a new Asus P4S533-MX motherboard and Celeron 1.7ghz chip. I think I did everything right, but when I turn the power on, and press the "On" button at the front, or the "Reset" button (I get the same result) it goes into the bios configuration and the keyboard doesn't work. The first couple of times there was a message to the effect of "keyboard not working or is locked out. Unlock it". I have confirmed the keyboard is ok. I tried resetting the cmos, but all that does is reset the system clock. Anybody got any bright ideas..? Ian. |

| 135336 | 2003-04-13 00:00:00 | Sounds like... your keyboard is locked (or else it doesn't recognise it)! Though highly unlikely, check on your computer case (most likely at the front) for a small, key-hole looking like, metal area. Usually found on old cases, it can be used to lock the keyboard. However, it may also be that your keyboard isn't working the way the computer likes. This could be that it is a USB keyboard, and the BIOS is set to not use USB keyboards. If your keyboard is a USB one, try and get your hands on a [working] PS2 one. If that doesn't work, try contacting the place where you bought the mobo. |

| 135340 | 2003-04-13 08:58:00 | I presume that the statement "I did everything right" includes using following antistatic procedures? | JohnD (509) | ||
| 135341 | 2003-04-25 07:13:00 | Does it beep at all? When u boot up? If so, does it beep more than once? If it does, then its telling you something (depending on how many beeps you can hear (if you connected the right wire to the right connection on the motherboard. If it beeps more than once, or continously, you have a prob | Spacemannz (808) | ||
| 135342 | 2003-04-25 20:51:00 | After many motherboard installs I have found that it is best to get the motherboard book ( assuming you will have got one with your new board ) and carefully check that you have all of the internal cables from the case switches,lights,speakers etc connected correctly. Normally you don't have to change the jumpers. If all the connections are fine and the keyboard is not plugged into the mouse plug ( easy to do on a PS/2 board ) then there is most likely a fault with the board. Try another keyboard to be sure. |
