My ps/2 keyboard seem to stop responding for some reason. It started when i force shut off the computer with the light switch because it's plugged in a outlet under a light bulb. Whenever i restart the computer the lights in the keyboard usually flash but then always stops. I tried uninstalling the driver but no luck. Sometimes the driver would be missing which is the problem even though the keyboard is plugged in. This is driving me crazy so i really need help fixing the problem so i can type again.

ps/2 doesn't need drivers unless you have a keyboard with extra buttons for media etc. Does the board work at boot-up - can you access the BIOS and/or boot menus? If not then first thing you need to do is try another keyboard. If still no go then try a USB keyboard. "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..."

Yeah the keyboard actually works when I go into the BIOS and boot menus. I just don't know where to go from there. After the boot-up i can type again, then after awhile the keyboard would stop working and vice-versa.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean.

ccutter2, my guess is that it has to do with your method of shutdown. Your computer performs some housekeeping chores at shutdown and if you abruptly kill power to it by turning the switch off, it never gets the chance. See if things improve if you FIRST shut it down via the start button THEN turn off the lightswitch. HTH. Ed in Texas.

So you mean that the computer needs to be shut down manually then turn off the light switch to save the power completely then the keyboard will be restored. Is that correct because I don't think i've tried that yet.
