no keyboard xp dell 3 yrs old
Hi,
A friend of a friend, etc., is having keyboard problems. It's a Dell mini-tower from about 2002 running XP home. The other day, the keyboard stopped working so he bought a new keyboard yesterday, and it doesn't work either. Both are PS2's. Before I re-invent the wheel here, ha ha, can anyone give me some ideas on what may have caused this? My solution is to tell him to get a USB keyboard and see what happens, but if there's an easy fix to get a normal keyboard going again I'll tell him to do that. Thanks for any ideas on this. Mike |

I concur with your suggestion. -- Conor, Same ****, different day. |
