My keyboard doesn't work even though the computer and monitor seem to work. ■ If the PC beeps repeatedly or if nothing happens when you press keys, it's possible that the keyboard is connected improperly. ■ USB keyboards only: Make sure the keyboard is firmly connected to the USB port on the back or front of the computer. Try unplugging and replugging the keyboard cable. ■ PS/2 keyboards only: Check that the cable connector pins are straight. Make sure the keyboard is connected to the keyboard port, not to the mouse port. If you need to reconnect these two cables, turn the computer off, reconnect the cables, and then turn the computer back on. ■ Try restarting the computer: Click Start, select Turn Off Computer, and click Restart. If that doesn't work, press and hold the computer On button until the computer turns off (approximately five seconds). Then turn the computer back on. 212 hp media center pc user's guide
