Hi all

Just repairing a soyo 486 motherboard. Due to battery leakage it was reporting a keyboard error at post - that's fixed or at least i think so. Now it posts to pressing F1 to continue or Del to setup.

However when attaching a compaq keyboard with a serial connector (it's serial on the board) when I press any key it double beeps on a single key press and doesn't register a key press, so I can't F1 or Del.

It sounds like a keyboard lock is on perhaps? Do compaq keyboards only work with Compaq PCs perhaps? Further motherboard damage that might cause this?

Any help would be appreciated. I don't really want to buy another keyboard if that's not the issue. unfortunately I don't have another PC that's accepts serial to test it on.

Thanks!!!!!!
