Keyboard/mouse does not work with new Mobo

[jamikkelsen]

Upgrade from PI to PIII. Boot stops at request to press delete to go into setup. Keyboard does not function. I tried another functioning keyboard that did not work either. I have check loose connections etc.

Things to check:
1. Shorts--drop to a minimal configuration (motherboard, processor, RAM, video card), if still no boot then try the same with the motherboard on a piece of cardboard.

2. Connections--that all the cards you have are fully inserted, not just the cables.

3. Memory--make sure it is the proper type for the new motherboard, make sure it is inserted fully.

It seems like you are not having a keyboard problem but a problem with your machine hangin before it completes the POST (power on self test).

What M/B are you using ?
One That I know of has a Miss Print in the Manual and on the M/B
Showing the IDE LED connector in the group with all the other connectors .
It is In Fact the Key Board Lock connector .
When the IDE light is connected to it. It Locks the Keyboard
