Post by: Tonia on November 06, 2007, 10:14:23 PM

Hi,

I am unable to use my keyboard. The 3 lights on my keyboard keeps on flickering. No keys are working.

What Windows version?
Did you try to restart your computer?
Did you try another keyboard?
Did you try System Restore?

And, what antivirus software do you have?

Do all the lights blink at once, or in a sequence?

Sometimes the simplest test works the best :)
