Hey everyone, this is my first post on the forum and hopefully someone can chime in on what is going on with my newer pc build. A couple of days ago I setup a newer motherboard and other hardware which should be 10x better than my primitive ASUS p5k-e setup. The issue I'm having is that at the POST screen I get a "no keyboard detected" message as well as no backlights on the kb, it does however detect the mouse, drive and other hardware that is installed.
The keyboard was working just fine on my older setup so to make sure it was still working, I tried plugging it into my laptop which worked as well previously but now my laptop won't detect it. I'll admit that the keyboard wasn't 100% as it had a faulty cable, but I managed to rig it to work temporarily until I found a parts keyboard. Eventually I did find a parts keyboard and swapped over the cable via soldering but before I did, I tested the parts keyboard on my newer setup to see if it worked and low and behold it did which allowed me to continue installation of windows 10, that is until the 2nd time I powered it on it wasn't detecting even the parts kb.
I'm thinking the voltage on the usb ports is too much which is what fried my keyboards. Luckily the circuit board in the keyboard isn't complicated with only a few capacitors, resistors and fuses so I'm going to attempt to troubleshoot the components with a digital multimeter and replace any if necessary. Below is my newer setup. Thanks in advance.
Motherboard: Asus Prime X370 Pro
CPU: Ryzen 3400G with integrated graphics, Enermax CPU cooler
RAM: Samsung 8gb DDR4 x 4
PSU: Enermax Revolution Xt II 650w semi-modular
Storage: Samsung QVO 1tb SSD
