Hi!

i've bought a motherboard to biuld up a 24Hours/24 pc.
the MB seems okay, the problem is with the keyboard PS/2 ports; already tried two (working) keyboards, but keeps saying "keyboard not found"

so, I've two things in mind to resolve this:
1) buy a USB keyboard (with wire), but I think it won't work..I already tried with a USB wireless keyboard, and still it didn't see it, so I couldn't press "del" or "f1" to setup/go thorugh on bad checksum error
2) this is the (only) idea: is there a way to flash/configure the BIOS via serial port or something else? if I can acess the BIOS via serial, then I can select "do not halt on keyboard error" and then everything is perfect! I'd control the pc via VNC!

the MB is an ASUS CUSL2-C!

guys, I really wish you could give me some hints!
please!!!
thank you!

Wireless USB almost never worked for me. its wakeup time just wouldnt work in time to hit it. Maybe ask a friend to borrow their usb wired keyboard if they have one. If your a gamer pick up a g15 or g11 you wont regret it. I havent found anything on configuring the bios through serial port. Sorry.

thank you for your help!

I tried the USB keyboard but had no luck; I also tested the fuse, but everything seems allright, so the break should be away from the connector...

I searched too a long time for BIOS setup via serial port, but couldn't find anything; the only solution seems to change the BIOS chip directly!

thank for your hep!
