Hi ... I have a 486 m912 v1.7 pcchips card with keyboard problem. The message that appears when you turn on the card is "keyboard error or k / b error". It always turns on well, but it stays with this message, it did not work the keyboard right and it was giving some strange beeps, pressing a key gave another type of beep and did not answer correctly to the command of the key. I removed the keyboard connector from the card in order to replace it, but when connecting itself without the connector, the same message remains. Could someone have been through this? I know this is very old but I love hardware and would love to solve it. Thank you, I appreciate all of your help. I'm from Brazil!
ReplyDeleteKeyboard errors are common when connecting USB keyboard to adapter for that 486 motherboard. Suggest switching keyboard for one with 5-pin DIN connector and plug directly to motherboard not an ISA card. Verify none of the keys are stuck down.
ReplyDeletelate to the party, but have you replaced the keyboard controller chip ?
