Keyboard Not Working and Struck at Press F2 to Continue Screen

Question
(The question was in hindi and converted to english)


"Vighnesh,
I have been experiencing a weird problem in my desktop. My logitech keyboard is not being detected in my system and due to that i cannot press f2 key to continue booting onto my system. I tried with a different keyboard, but that too wont detect and i can enter the BIOS by pressing delete key, but i cant navigate in the bios settings, before that keyboard becomes non-responsive again. "

Please sort this out

This is a general issue in any motherboard, especially in an ASUS motherboard when the BIOS battery is almost FLAT. You may get a screen like this and your keyboard maybe non-responsive (even the number lock light not respond)



You have to get a new bios battery, costing roughly 1USD,(60 RS). Then you have to do a C-MOS reset for the keyboard to be detected correctly. Repeat the C-MOS reset again if it doesnt sort-out in the first try.


To do the C-MOS reset

You didnt specify your model of the motherboard,Hence i cant specify correct location and procedure.If you got a product manual with you, search through it and from the layout, identify the jumper pins, switch the jumper from 2nd and 3rd pins to 1st and 2nd pins..You can do the C-MOS reset

A small request, please include your name,next time you mail me
(I could find out your name from your mail id)

Thanks
