  • it doesn't always work on your first try so if it doesn't work try again. sometimes it will take u to a different screen asking u which system to boot, if that screen pops up turn off your computer, turn back on do the F1 thing again but instead of the enter key press and hold the tab key. If u have tried this many times without any type of success something is wrong with your motherboard and i cant help u with that. If this worked for you please leave a comment and subscribe.

    • @JuanPerez-sg5vf
      @JuanPerez-sg5vf 8 лет назад

      +spunkflunk I hope you already got to the bottom of it. But, usually the error pops up because the BIOS can't access the keyboard. Sometimes it is the USB port, sometimes it is a keyboard that is broken or that brand doesn't work well with that computer. The best thing is to try a different port for the keyboard, then work with the BIOS settings, and as a last resort a BIOS update from the Manufacturer. The BIOS update is usually permanent, but it may fix it, so read all about it before you apply the update. Usually it works better, but once it is applied there is usually no rollback. Some companies put in a fix to revert it back, but it is not very often. But the good thing is that usually a BIOS update fixes a lot of hair pulling issues on that computer and it usually works a lot better after that. :-)

    I don't recommend pulling things out of your computer unless it's memory...
    You shouldn't have to do that in this case.
    Turn off your computer and unplug everything from it.
    Press and hold the power button for a few seconds.
    Plug only the keyboard, mouse, and monitor back into the pc.
    Startup.
    The keyboard should work on the inital startup period...
    Immediately press the function key that prompts the bios repeatedly.
    Once in the bios, make sure the usb controller is "enabled."

    I had purchased a refurbished Lenovo computer which came with an HP keyboard. I hooked everything up, and got the 3 beep problem. I did some YT video searches concerning others who had the same problem with a refurbished Lenovo computer that came with an HP keyboard. I found another guy who had the same problem. In his case, he switched to a USB keyboard, and then it worked fine. My guess was that the BIOS was not updating to recognizing the HP keyboard and thus registered an error. So To increase the chances of it doing so, I removed one 4GB mem card. It was now up and going. I then reinstalled the second 4GB mem card, and it too was working fine. So my guess is that when the refurbished units were tested, they were tested using a USB keyboard, thus not using the HP keyboard.

    If your computer has a ps2 port and perhaps the USB keyboard function isn't working, then try getting into setup and renabling the USB keyboard option so that you can use a USB keyboard if your ps2 keyboard chip has been fried, but it is a big problem if your computer only supports ps2 without enabling the USB feature in bios! And you can't get into bios to change it!
    If you have great soldering skills, maybe you could find out where the keyboard logic chip, and replace it with a chip with the same number and make.
    That may be what I need to do or something like that.

    See, I'm having a different problem. I'm working on someone's WinXP computer, which came with a corrupted registry. So, I fixed it by booting a ubuntu live disk and replacing the broken files with the files from System32
    epair, and after getting it to boot...the mouse and keyboard aren't responding. So, I can't do anything. I just end up pressing the power button to trigger the shutdown sequence. Everything I find on google says to "do this and that" in safe mode...but I can't move the mouse or use the keyboard, regular or safe mode. So it's a chicken-and-egg dilemma; a Catch-22.
    However, the mouse and keyboard work within the BIOS, within the diagnostic tool, and within the aforementioned liveUSB of Ubuntu. So the problem lies in the system. I don't know what to do here. Machine is 64-bit. Doesn't have PS/2 ports. Do not have installation disc. I _do_ have a Dell "Drivers and Utilities" disc, though.
