My keyboard
doesn’t work
even though the
computer and
monitor seem
to work.
If the PC beeps repeatedly or if nothing happens when you press
keys, it’s possible that the keyboard is connected improperly.
USB keyboards only: Make sure the keyboard is firmly connected
to the USB port on the back or front of the computer. Try
unplugging and replugging the keyboard cable.
PS/2 keyboards only: Check that the cable connector pins are
straight. Make sure the keyboard is connected to the keyboard
port, not to the mouse port. If you need to reconnect these two
cables, turn the computer off, reconnect the cables, and then turn
the computer back on.
Try restarting the computer: Click Start, select Turn Off
Computer, and click Restart. If that doesn’t work, press and
hold the computer On button until the computer turns off
(approximately five seconds). Then turn the computer back on.
