Keyboard unresponsive on first boot - IC7g
I have done a search on this forum for keyboard problems and this seems to come up more than randomly. I have tried the suggested fixes here and in the manual but no luck yet. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?
I just built a computer with new parts from Newegg (my second build) with an Abit IC7g-max2 Antec true control 550 and fired it up for the first time. All the fans spin and leds light up and I get a single beep and a screen comes up with correct information on processor speed (3.0c), memory size (1 gig) and speed (DDR400) and identifies two HHD (120 GB WD) and one CD+/-RW drive (Plextor) on IDE2 and IDE1 respectively. The CPU, Memory, CD RW drive, monitor, PS2 keyboard and USB/PS2 wireless mouse have all been used before and work. The hard drives are new and unformated.
The problem is that I cannot enter the BIOS by hitting the del key. The keyboard is plugged in correctly and getting juice because I see the diodes light up for caps lock and num lock but none of the keys work.
I have:
rebooted with insert key pressed then tried del.
cleared the CMOS multiple times
removed the battery and reinstalled it >1 min.
changed the jumper on the keyboard wake-up pins.
Used a different keyboard.
What else should I try? Thanks for any help.
