Hi! I recently removed my PS/2 keyboard to clean it and now it doesn't work. I'm using On-screen keyboard right now.
My Num lock led light is on, but none of the buttons work. If I press Caps or Scroll lock on On-screen keyboard those leds also work.

When I boot up my pc, all leds blink, so I guess that keyboard is working, but it just doesn't work.

It doesn't work in safe mode aswell.

I can't even enter the BIOS because it boots so fast and I don't get any info about which button to press to enter. I tried Del, and F buttons, but I couldn't access it.

Is there a way to fix this, because I'm sure that keyboard works, but something is holding it, so it doesn't work?

It's not the first time I cleaned it. I've just opened it and cleaned around the buttons.
