- Check the keyboard connection. Make sure that the new keyboard is installed correctly. If there is a cable connecting the keyboard panel connector to the motherboard, make sure that that wiring is attached properly.
- Check the pico fuse. The keyboard fuse on the motherboard may have failed. Many motherboard designs incorporate a small fuse (called a picofuse) in the +5-volt dc line that drives the keyboard. If this fuse fails, the keyboard will appear dead. Replace the fuse.
- Replace the motherboard. If problems persist, or if you cannot replace the keyboard fuse, replace the motherboard outright.
