Odd Keyboard/Port Problem.

I woke up this morning, i started my pc as usual.A
problem occured, when i tried to type my Internet
Provider Password, nothing happened.I restart the
computer, try again i notice that my numlock, capslock
and scrolllock lights doesnt work anymore.The keyboard
also do a sound every 0.5 seconds.

My first tought was the PS2 port, so i go behind the
tower.There was a lot of static around the ps2 port.I
unplug it, and plug it again.Still does'nt work.I went
upstairs to pick up another keyboard, but experienced the
same problem.

I am pretty much certain it is the PS2 port.What should i
do in such a situation?

Thanks in Advance for help.

The question is: What costs less - a USB keyboard, or a new
motherboard?
