The keyboard P/S2 plug stopped working on my K8N-E Deluxe motherboard. Can
anyone offer me advice on how to get it to work again? I am currently using
a USB keyboard, but it won't let me use the delete key to get to the bios.
The USB keyboard only works after Windows XP boots up. Any advice or
suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you tried more than one PS2 keyboard? If the plug on the board
is bad you'll have to replace the board. It should still be under warranty.
One thing you might try is when you turn on the system turn it back off
imediatley after it starts posting before booting windows. It may go into
the bios because it thinks you had a bad over clock. Then change the bios
to support legacy USB if you haven't done so.

This happens now and then for asus MB. They have some very sensible
PS/2 port fuzes.

The problems is that you might have disconnected PS/2 devices when
there was still voltage on the power supply. It is not enough that the
PC is shut down. Nowadays there are always, due to wake-up by keyboard
and mouse facilities, voltage on these things. So if you remove the
device with power on, the inductance will cause a burned fuze. These
fuzed might be some small smd-mounted devices inside the PS/2 house.
They can be shortcircuitred to give you ONE chance more.

There might be an usb keyboard option in bios that let you have a
better startup, so that Delete works again. Or an usb wake-up jumper
on the MB.
