    Have to ask - is the keyboard plugged in?

    What is the history behind the problem? Did you make ANY type of change recently?

    If it is a USB keyboard connection, try a different USB port (assuming that you have more than one).

    Hi rickymorr. What keyboard are you using? Is it a USB keyboard or a PS/2 one? Did this error message just appear out of the blue? Can you access the BIOS with the keyboard?

    Quite possibly the keyboard has failed - surest way of checking is to try another keyboard. Beg, borrow or steal one from a friend for a few minutes.
