Oops

[SLEDGE]

I don't know how, but I did something that killed input from the keyboard.

My granddaughter says it has to be a defect in the tower.

I think I hit the wrong keys and that action told my computer to stop

accepting input from the keyboard.

I've tried another keyboard and both plugin locations on the tower, no help.

Suggestions anyone?

Turn the computer off and than turn it on again. Get your Grand Daughter to fix it. Buy a new computer with some of your retro.

Good Luck

Both plug-in locations on the tower? Does the keyboard have USB (rectangular) or PS2 (round) connections. If it is PS2, then there is only one connection and you can tell by the little image next to the socket, which socket is the correct one (normally the on to the left if look at the tower from the back).

Yes it is possible to send a command that messes up the bios to cause the computer to ignore the keyboard, but I can't remember it now. Try making sure the keyboard is plugged into the correct socket/port and turn off the computer. Then unplug it for 30 seconds, which will clear any residual electronic memory. Plug it back in and turn it on, hoping the bios will have corrected itself.

Bonzai,

That fixed it. Thank You...

Pete,

I would buy a new one if Mrs. sledge wasn't busy paying off the last 4 operations.

The retro doesn't cover the smallest bill.

However, she did spring for a seat cover for my 91 pickup.

Anyone interested in a 91 pickup?
