| 410679 | 2005-12-06 08:47:00 | I have PC with Award Modular BIOS v6.00 PGN, running on AMD Athlon 1600MHZ. Since last visiting my CMOS, I now find if I enter {del}at boot up, that I get as far as the CMOS options screen, but the pesky arrow keys don't allow me to go anywhere; only option is to switch off and reboot. Others had suggested to reset CMOS to default by removing battery; this I tried but arrow keys still no good. Keyboard is OK because they work on initial boot up screen when I choose "DEL" option. Thoughts appreciated. |

| 410680 | 2005-12-06 09:04:00 | is the keybd usb? is usb for keybd/mouse enabled (yep I know you can't check with current keybd) nip next door & grab their keybd and try that, preferably PS2 does the keybd work ok in windows? if all fails, it could be a sign that the keybd controller on the MOBO is on it's way out. bye bye MOBO. |

| 410681 | 2005-12-06 09:54:00 | Or deselect numlock and see if the arrows on the number keypad work... | godfather (25) | ||
| 410682 | 2005-12-06 22:45:00 | Yes I have tried both USB & Standard type and same thing happens; could try it in The Mouse socket I guess, and will try NUMLOCK suggestion too. | gel (9376) | ||
| 410683 | 2005-12-07 01:06:00 | The arrows in the keyboard should work if the keyboard is recognised. That would let you check the "Legacy Support" setting for USB ... it can be a bit confusing .. I don't know whether it should be on or off and I suspect programmers of BIOSs get confused about it too.. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 410684 | 2005-12-11 18:47:00 | I am still unable to get past CMOS options page ie can't move to anything; just switching off rebooting. Tried turning Num Lock as someone else suggested, but no change. |
