Installed mobo.No POST,no BEEP.Then I found out that I had connected the power cables incorrectly.Corrected problem and I got a POST.Then my keyboard has no light.Keys do not
function.Replaced 3 keyboards.Same problem.Did I fry the
mobo or short the P/S2 connector going to the keyboard?

How 'incorrectly' did you install the power connectors? Does your computer detect a keyboard, or does it give you the 'no keyboard detected, press f1 to continue' type message?

Just messing around. This error code is the biggest joke ever on computer: when no keyboard detected, who the hell is able to press 'F1' to continue?

If I agree with you... will you shut up?

Strangely enough at work we've got a few keyboards which aren't detected but work fine... also on modern USB systems you can plug a keyboard in an press F1.

Row like mortals, think like gods.

Yeah I know that and in fact I'm using an USB keyboard, when this error occur I just remove my keyboard and plug in again, but think back the time when we are still using AT/PS2 keyboard :)

If I agree with you... will you shut up?

It did not give me the "no keyboard detected message".It says"Press F1 to continue,DEL to enter set up".In connecting the power cable wires I had the black wires on the opposite side of the connector.They should bein the center.

If you managed to connect a power connector backwards and attempt to power up, you very well may have fried something.
