[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Zenith 386 Keyboard Problems

ehall@ux.acs.umn.edu (Kevin Hansen) (11/29/90)

I have two Zenith 386 Computers with keyboard problems.  On startup, the machine
works fine, no error messages, no nothing.  But after the machine has booted up,
the keyboards do not work.  I don't even get the Num Lock light to light up.

Right before this happened, the keyboard on one of the machines was working fine
so we tried it on the other machine.  Nothing changed.  I plugged the working
keyboard back into the machine while it was running.  When I tried re-booting,
I found that something was wrong with this machine as well.  I have heard that
you shouldn't plug an ADB device into a Mac while it was on, but I have never
heard of anything similar on an IBM.

All power supply lights appear in working order as to the CPU lights.  Does any
one have any ideas?  Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.  Send 
responses to ehall@ux.acs.umn.edu.  Thanks in advance.
