I have a HP Pavilion a1730n, hooked up the computer and powered it on, completes post fine and shows the BIOS screen, the keyboard does not respond to any key presses. The hard drive is wiped so with XP CD in and when “Press any key to boot from cd” comes up to boot windows the key presses do nothing.
We have tried several USB and PS/2 Keyboards with no luck. Also tried removing the CMOS battery with no luck. Also tried new ram with no luck. Any help would be much appreciated!
