keyboard problem

[jap]

Can anyone help me???
My keyboard do not work most of the time when I boot-up my computer, I have to reset it several times or totally turn it off before it is detected. I tested my keyboard in a different computer and it works normally plus I'm also experiencing this with my other computer using the same set-up (motherboard... everything the samewith the other computer!). I tried flashing the bios to the latest version with no luck. I think its the motherboard... I E-mailed my complain to ECS with no response yet...

My PC's spec :

ECS L7VTA (with LAN RAID Firewire built-in)
Athlon xp 1700
256mb PC2700 (samsung chip)
GF2 MX400 64mb
20gig Seagate Barracuda
Win XP with SP1

are you connecting it to the motherboard via usb?

PS/2 keyboard

:confused: Hmmm, maybe your keyboard is incompatible with the motherboard.

have you tried a different keyboard?

How in the world was you able to flash your bios without your keyboard !!! ???

I have flashed bioses on 3 different types of motherboards and you needed your keyboard on each of them to verify that you wanted to complete the flash. :confused: :shocked:

Could the mobo have a loose ps/2 connector? I know its kinda unlikely but doesn't hurt to check. :)

i thought about the same thing, but then, i read what he said over again, and he said that after restarting a few times, the keyboard was detected... so i guess the keyboard works sometimes... :confused:

Does your mobo detect the keyboard when you reach your desktop or is it still not available to you ?

Yes I have tried other keyboards ( only PS/2 type not USB yet...) and the problem is still the same. I have an older PC an IWILL KK266 (kt133a) with athlon 1ghz 256mb with the same OS (win XP sp1) so I ruled out the OS as the culprit of the problem, but then again I'm not that really sure so I want to hear your opinions. The problem is erratic sometimes the keyboard is detected sometime is it's not detected and it is very annoying to reboot the PC everytime I want to use it.:(

Defective MB! Replacement is your best option, but it might be possible to resolder the connector.
