Welcome!

Gateway Flexatxstc Bro Essential ?
 But which one? 700, 866 or some other?

So you have an old gateway PC and the keyboard no no longer works in the BIOS setup.  Is that correct?
Please provide more information about the gateway. If this is a very old PC and there is no model number, it will be hard to tell you what to do next. Does if have a floppy drive? Have you tried to start it up using a floppy with DOS on it?

Probably need to clear ("discharge") the CMOS; there is a jumper on the motherboard; consult motherboard documentation - either the paper manual (if you have it) or online (when you find the model number)

You called yourself "mofo"... did you think that was funny?

That's a 15" monitor, as far as I can tell.

ESSENTIAL what, "mofo"?* there should be a number, as you have already been asked. 700c, 733c, 800c, 866, 966, something like that.

* :)
