X-Cannon Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I have a little problem on Saturday I was on the computer and I accidentally took out the power plug that was behind me. Now my keyboard can't be detected at the black screen I've tried my other keyboard but no luck I checked the back of the port and looks fine. So basically I'm stuck at the black screen everytime I turn the computer on. Formating is my absolute last option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JSKY Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 What Happens if you try to boot off the install disk? (running XP I take it)If it will boot, it should load default drivers before it comes to the install/repair section.Are you talking the main power to the PC? Or the keyboard plug?

X-Cannon Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I'm talking about the main plug, so do I need a win 98 boot disk? or a win xp, I have Win XP Pro as my OS the error says " Keyboard error or no keyboard present" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

X-Cannon Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I found out the problem it's to do with the mouse port when I plug the mouse in the keyboard won't work and when I plug the mouse in the keyboard won't work anymore so I guess I shoud get a new mouse port huh? or just buy a usb mouse. but now the question is why did this happen?

JSKY Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 It's one of the lost mysteries of Windows....................(or not yet found)....LOLOn thing nice about using USB ports, is an optic mouse. No ball to clean, and they work on any surface, (well, just about). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
