jumping on one foot doesn't fix it? ;^) sounds like the keyboard port is bad or grounding to the case.

try, even though there is nothing obvious, to insulate the area around the keyboard port on the underside of the MB from the case.
cardboard, foam insulation etc.

Ok, this is a really weird problem. I just installed a new hard drive on my
Asus A7V266-E mobo and now when I boot up, I get the message "Keyboard is
locked out - Unlock the key" after the POST. Here's the strange part, when
I lay my PC on its side, I don't get the message and the PC boots up fine.
While the PC is running, if I stand it up again the keyboard stops working!
What the heck is going on? There were some forums I found on Google that
suggested it could be a problem with grounding but there doesn't seem to be
anything moving when I move my PC around. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Mitchua
