Hey there,
I recently acquired an old desktop from a friend of mine and proceeded to take it apart.
After removing all the components from the casing and putting the RAM, GPU and HDD back (left the cpu in), and connecting it to power, it would pass the POST and boot into the BIOS. The problem is that no power is being supplied to the keyboard (I even tried the native USB ports) and it wont accept any input from the keyboard. I cannot enter the boot menu or setup menu due to this lack of input. Is it not loading the drivers for the keyboard? Or is it a power failure and the motherboard is now useless (I doubt the latter is true). Your help is appreciated
