[SOLVED] Keyboard Help

Headpred · 10-03-2009, 06:53 PM

It's me again. I have an Emachines W3653 desktop.
Intel Core 2 Duo 1.66g
Nvidia Gefore 8400
2g ram

Recently my son spilled stuff on my p2s keyboard. It continued to work however the buttons started sticking. I unplugged it and and cleaned it out. Since then it has not worked. I was unaware of the warning of not unpluging a p2s keyboard when your computer is on. What happens when you do it, and how can i make my keyboard work again?

Try another keyboard in the PS2 port to see if the port has been damaged, and try plugging the original keyboard into a USB port using a PS2-USB adapter.
