You might need to try another keyboard just in case the one you have might be up the creak (broken).

The problem might just be in BIOs. Having the same problem again, cannot remember the steps. I am looking to help a friend again, Sorry, I don't recall the steps, if mouse works, hardware should be fine.

I am assuming that you meant this is a Hewlett packard computer since packard bell went out of business a long time ago. I only mention it because it could make a difference.

Are the USB ports USB1 or USB2? While USB2 ports should be backwards compatible with USB1 devices and USB2 devices should be compatible with USB1 ports, "should" is the operative word. It doesn't always work. Have you tried a PS2 keyboard?
