ok guys... i've done pretty much everything i can think of
so far so now i'm gonna take any suggestions you guys may have.
i switched out soundcards today (live value with livemp3+)
and immediately after turning on the computer i lost keyboard
support. ok.. i do know that it has nothing to do with the
actual soundcard.. this has happened to me before when i've
put in new pci cards and ram and what not. for some reason
the keyboard just goes out on me. usually i can just mess
around with random connections and the keyboard will come back
on just fine. well, not so this time. and now for the strange
part... when i lay my case flat on its side the keyboard will
work normal, yet when it is standing straight up it will not
work. i can open notepad right now and type with one hand while
raising the case up on its side with the other and the keyboard
will go crazy on me when it gets close to being straight up..
crazy as in the lights will blink some, random letters/numbers
come on screen and stuff like that... yet when i lower it back
the keyboard comes back to normal. this definitely has nothing
to do with the keyboard plug being in all the way... i really
wish it was that easy... any suggestions are welcome..

thanks

Try two things.

1. Check the cord of your keyboard - make sure it isnt lose out of the KB itself.

2. while pulling the case up, pull on the kb adapter (the little silver box mounted on the MB) Maybe the weight of the cord is causing it to lose connection. If it works try to find some way to tape it.

If you have anymore questions PM me, as i will probably lose this thread.
