    [SOLVED] Stuck in American Trends POST. USB Keyboard doesn't connect. Can't access BIOS or Windows

    LOL, yeah, tell me about it, I didn't expect it either but when I saw that keyboard light come on, I felt like I saw angels and the pearly gates open up! Lol! Bricked for the entire 9 days until figuring it out yesterday thankfully. I'm glad that it fixed my problem too, and hope that others...

    [SOLVED] Stuck in American Trends POST. USB Keyboard doesn't connect. Can't access BIOS or Windows

    GOT IT WORKING AGAIN as I type this out from my repaired PC lol! Thank you all for the posts, especially Spaceghaze and DSzymborski, I appreciate the constant checking in! Turns out that when I originally attempted to Flash my BIOS the first time, and loaded up the file onto a USB Flash Drive...

    [SOLVED] Stuck in American Trends POST. USB Keyboard doesn't connect. Can't access BIOS or Windows

    Hey mickrc3, I've not yet tried a wireless keyboard at all, though wasn't sure with wireless keyboards, if you would need to install drivers first for the bluetooth connection before actually being able to try it. If that is the case, which I'm thinking, then I wouldn't be able to try it as I'm...

    [SOLVED] Stuck in American Trends POST. USB Keyboard doesn't connect. Can't access BIOS or Windows

    Thanks for the reply Spaceghaze, I appreciate it. Well, on a whim, since it was inexpensive and I'm at my wits end on how to fix (if even possible at this point) dilemma, I ordered the PS/2 to USB Keyboard Converter. I tried it on my older PC first to make sure that it connects, and sure...

    [SOLVED] Stuck in American Trends POST. USB Keyboard doesn't connect. Can't access BIOS or Windows

    Thanks for the heads up DSz, I appreciate it. I will check into those PSUs as well though first I'll be going with the PS/2 option to see if I can get it up and running again. I wasn't sure if something like this would work for example: PS/2 Keyboard to USB converter I also saw this item...

    [SOLVED] Stuck in American Trends POST. USB Keyboard doesn't connect. Can't access BIOS or Windows

    Hey DSzymborski, thank you for the reply. I've been searching up and down online for a PCI-E adapter that I could plug into my motherboard with the PS/2 ports in the back, but so far, all I've found has been PCI adapters which oddly, my older PC that I'm using now to type this uses, but not my...

    [SOLVED] Stuck in American Trends POST. USB Keyboard doesn't connect. Can't access BIOS or Windows

    Sorry Saga, this is a desktop PC without touch screen monitor... I would have tested that though if it was a touch screen lol. I WISH I had that capability, though not sure if the POST screen would recognize a touch screen F1 press in this situation or not. I haven't yet been able to test the...

    [SOLVED] Stuck in American Trends POST. USB Keyboard doesn't connect. Can't access BIOS or Windows

    Hey Spaceghaze, Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it. I bought a new USB keyboard to test that option, but as I was afraid of, it didn't work at all. No matter what port I plugged it into, the same result of no light coming on, no connection to the keyboard at all was the result. I...

    [SOLVED] Stuck in American Trends POST. USB Keyboard doesn't connect. Can't access BIOS or Windows

    Hey Saga, I have already checked all connections on the motherboard, unplugged and replugged everything I could back into it. It doesn't appear to be any loose connections, and in examining the mobo, I don't see anything burnt on the mobo at all whatsoever. Furthermore, the USB connections on...

    [SOLVED] Stuck in American Trends POST. USB Keyboard doesn't connect. Can't access BIOS or Windows

    Hey Spaceghaze, thank you for the comments and reply, I appreciate it. Forgot to list the specs of the Power supply unit. It is a Thermaltake TR2 700watt psu. And yes, the two keyboards are identical keyboards. I'd have to buy another keyboard to test a 3rd different model out to see if...

    [SOLVED] Stuck in American Trends POST. USB Keyboard doesn't connect. Can't access BIOS or Windows

    Sorry for the length. I'll edit with a TL-DR on it. And nope, can't use a PS/2 keyboard, no port on it at all.

    [SOLVED] Stuck in American Trends POST. USB Keyboard doesn't connect. Can't access BIOS or Windows

    TL-DR (too long didn't read) summary here in the bullet points: PC is stuck at POST with a "NO Keyboard Detected" message. I can't get into the BIOS or Windows. USB Keyboard doesn't work on any USB port, though other devices do connect / light up on USB ports. I have no PS/2 ports, and there...
