Don't know if this will help but it got my keyboard working again doing these things.

If it's a USB keyboard, try another slot.

Go into your BIOS and make sure "Legacy USB Support" is enabled. You can find it in "Peripheral Configuration".

I've also had a keyboard stop working because the tower got shoved against the wall too hard and loosened the keyboard socket (where you plug it in) from the motherboard. Lets hope that's not it because you'll most likely need a new MB.

aloha, MC

Dang!!

I had this problem and the fix was easy -- but I can't remember what I did.

I'll post it when remember or find it - sorry.
