Keyboard Failure On Pc by agborodun: 4:21pm On Jan 07, 2013
PLEASE GREAT NAIRALANDERS, I SERIOUSLY NEED YOUR HELP.
I SWITCHED MY DELL PC ON AND ITS NO LONGER COMMUNICATING WITH THE KEYBOARD. ITS SHOWING 'KEYBOARD FAILURE' WHENEVER I TRY TO SWITCH IT ON.
WHAT CAN I DO? I HAVE CHANGED THE KEYBOARD AND AM STILL EXPERIENCING SAME THING. PLEASE HELP ME OUT. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
I get an error message,"Keyboard failure-Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility"
The keyboard is not responding at all.

When restarting press f2 for setup and then look for load setup default
press the key for setup default and f10 save exit


When its booted up go into the
Device Manager by pressing the windows key and letter R
the windows key is like a flag on your keyboard.a run box would
pop up type in devmgmt.msc press enter

go to keyboards and see what you have under Keyboards.

Right click and uninstall anything in the list and then reboot,
windows should reload the keyboard drivers. Once back at the dektop,
reboot again and see if the keyboard failure warning is still present.

you could also type in the run box you sigverif then start
after that note any error message.also run and type in cmd
a black box will appear type in sfc /scannow press enter

This would appear to be a common problem on Dells.
The most common fix is to shut down the system,
unplug everything including the power supply.
Hold in the power button for 10 seconds,
then plug everything back in and see if the problem is cured.


is it a PS2 keyboard or USB type ?
if usb type try PS2 if PS2 type
try usb typ keyboard
