[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] keyboard error

jkchan@rodan.acs.syr.edu (12/19/90)

I made a mistake touching the 3 volt power source to the input port of the
Speech Thing (a sound device).  Then the IBM AT compatible computer made a lot 
of noise from its internal speaker.  Everything was stuck.  Then I tried to 
reboot the system but it didn't work.  It even didn't read the floppy!  
Accidentally, I discovered that if I unplugged the keyboard and it could boot
again.  Of course, when I re-plugged in the keyboard, same kind of noise from
the speaker again.  I am sure the keyboard is fine because I used another
good keyboard to check.  The same loud ta-ta-ta-ta ... noise came out.
Has anyone met is problem?  Any solution?
Please send email to the above address.
Thanks in advance.
