1st, try another keyboard, maybe the kb is wrecked, next is the KB plugged in properly. If it's the ps2 slot, your fried you will need to get out your tools and find the the fault, don't ask I been going to computer school for 3 years and they still haven't taugh me how. If your lucky maybe it's just the PS/2 slot which you can replace with your solder. If the board is cheap, break it in half and throw it in the bin. You can not get a PS/2 to serial convertor and try to get KB access this way it doesn't work.
