HP 54815A Infinium Scope- PC boot problem
« on: November 13, 2021, 05:12:48 pm »
Hi Folks,
I have a faulty HP 54815A boot problem....

The AMI BIOS boot sequence stops at:
CMOS Settings Wrong
CMOS Display Type Wrong
Keyboard error

Press F1 to Run setup
Press F2 to load default values and continue


It also was reporting a battery problem, but I resolve 3.3v external CR2032 on the Dallas Realtime clock.
I also tried to reset the CMOS using the motherboard jumpers.
So now I reckon it needs to load default values with F2

But here is where I become unstuck!
I don't have an IBM AT type keyboard!!! yikes!
Wonder if I can  I wire a USB keyboard to the Clock and data lines of the AT keyboard socket?

Also, I checked the AT keyboard socket has +5v but I also noticed one of the data lines was also at +5v, this seems odd.   
I suspect this might why I'm seeing the Keyboard error on boot screen, wonder if the Motherboard has an I/O fault?

any advice welcome...

Thanks in advance

Some ps2 keyboards  can or could accept the AT to PS2 keyboard adapter, an usb  keyboard will not work unless you put some interface between them

I have one in my old stuff

Thanks for that, I might ask my local PC repair shop if he has any old keyboards.
