Hi Kevin,
Is this an AT, PS/2, or USB keyboard?
I have worked on several systems with the same problem.
If you tried a different keyboard and it still didn't work then
you probably have a bad keyboard port.
Either a bad or bent socket for the individual pins of the keyboard
connector.
Bad or loose solder joint on the keyboard socket.
Or a bad keyboard controller chip.
Or maybe a blown fuse or fuseable link in the power supply line to the
keyboard.
I had one come in that several pins were bent on the keyboard plug and
when
plugged in shorted the power directly to the metal shell of the plug.
Toasted the motherboard.
I have never come across a card that you can use to replace a keyboard
port.
Sorry, but the only solution I know of is to replace the motherboard.
Good luck,
Clint Worley
