Thank you all sooo much for all your input and wisdom, if I end up fixing the problem I'll post back here for you all. L Anyway thanks a lot	dattyd1 (17448)

What? I'd have thought you'd know better than that. :confused::waughh: Many of them were, and still are, installed in sockets and can be exchanged easily without the need to even look at a soldering iron. And the most common reason to desolder one would be in the case of a bad flash. Hardware failure of the chip is rather uncommon, though that does seem to happen a lot in cheap TVs though... :annoyed:	Agent_24 (57)
1415848	2016-02-16 19:19:00	Did you try reverting the bios back to an OLDER version? When I updated I did it in order of versions and the original bios was the oldest. Tested keyboards inbetween man this is the most frustrating thing ever I have been eyeing up my splitting axe lately...... Na but it is frustrating	dattyd1 (17448)

Theres a LOT that dont have removable BIOS chips as well. I got stacks of old motherboards here, NONE have removable BIOS chips/Sockets. MANY people don't know what some parts are either, they call them one thing when in fact they are something else. Theres no way to tell if someone is actually calling a part as its correctly named, on a forum. Either way, there's something wrong with the motherboard that's not following the normal ways to enter settings. Its been mentioned the on board graphics don't work - so it completely possible there's a fault in the circuits somewhere that wont allow navigation. Sometimes when actually having a component in front of you a problem is easily noticeable - had that the other day, some other tech company had a look at a persons PC a few weeks back, said motherboard failure but they wanted to much to transfer the data to a new PC that they also wanted to sell the person, I went and had a look after I was recommended by her friend, saw the fault within a few minutes (seen it happen before) and it now runs fine ;)	wainuitech (129)

So remove hard drives, optical drives and anything else not needed for the BIOS and leave the bare minimum. Sometimes faulty hardware can put the BIOS in an endless loop trying to initiate the hardware making the keyboard unresponsive. Give that a try, I am assuming it might be the hard drive causing this but hard to say without seeing what's going on. Cheers, KK	Kame (312)

1415852	2016-02-19 02:11:00	I tried just basics but no luck still the same the only thing i cant try is without the graphics card because onboard dosnt work and dont want to buy another 1 just for testing	dattyd1 (17448)
