If it acts the same with three different software boots, it's probably hardware. Is it a USB or PS2 keyboard? Do you have one of the other type you can try? Or stick in a USB card and try a USB keyboard in that. If none of that works - I'd guess motherboard troubles. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
