yeah, open up ur computer, and look on the mother board for something that looks like a watch battery. this is called the bios battery, remove the battery by pushing on the clamp with a screwdriver and pull it out, put it back in and ur system settings like passwords will be reset

what pc do you have i need help

[@videoarchiveman]

I've been using my old PC(with Vista) to just play CDs and DVDs. Today it would not boot up, just got a screen that said "detecting array". I was sure the computer finally bit the dust.I started googling the problem with my main PC and got no answers. Then I finally found your video, and did the F1 trick, and it worked. Thank you so much. You know your stuff.

[@CenLAStormSpotters]

spunkflunk I Have a Windows10 Nextbook...(P.O.S. lol) Anyways... It got stuck on a different screen than yours. It wanted me to use arrow keys and press enter.. which i did 1000 times snd all other keys LOL Then your chsnnel got me to the end brother!!!!! I actually did exactly what u said..but also had to RESTART..by holding the Volume and Power down then as the screen was coming up I hit enter as FAST as I could haha! Then FINALLYYYY It said INSTALLING WINDOW'S. LMAO!!! THANK GOD!!!!

[@spunkflunk]

@khandagee after u boot your computer by following what i do in the video just reinstall windows

[@spunkflunk]

just an update guys, i have a new computer that started getting a similar problem, it just wouldnt let me select safe mode, or normal mode (when i hit enter to chose nothing happend) and i tried this and it still seems to work so if your problem is similar but no exactly the same it still should work, its all about the pressing the key before it shows a screen saying to presss it

[@michael99marsh]

Hey man did the f1 thing u asked me to do n now after that it's saying this BOOTMGR is compressed Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart but keyboard isn't working its shows the light to say the keyboard is on but if I what to do

[@JuanPerez-sg5vf]

+spunkflunk I hope you already got to the bottom of it. But, usually the error pops up because the BIOS can't access the keyboard. Sometimes it is the USB port, sometimes it is a keyboard that is broken or that brand doesn't work well with that computer. The best thing is to try a different port for the keyboard, then work with the BIOS settings, and as a last resort a BIOS update from the Manufacturer. The BIOS update is usually permanent, but it may fix it, so read all about it before you apply the update. Usually it works better, but once it is applied there is usually no rollback. Some companies put in a fix to revert it back, but it is not very often. But the good thing is that usually a BIOS update fixes a lot of hair pulling issues on that computer and it usually works a lot better after that. :-)

[@spunkflunk]

ur mouse is locked too? and if ur keyboard doesnt kick in after it gets to login, uv got a major hardware problem. could be faulty wire connecting that goes from usb port to the motherboard, or u need a new motherboard

[@armymatters8042]

I did a hybrid version of your instructions, quickly pressing the F1 key and then when I saw the dash I pressed enter. I didn't have to unplug everything else. But you certainty helped.

[@BradenBest]

See, I'm having a different problem. I'm working on someone's WinXP computer, which came with a corrupted registry. So, I fixed it by booting a ubuntu live disk and replacing the broken files with the files from System32 epair, and after getting it to boot...the mouse and keyboard aren't responding. So, I can't do anything. I just end up pressing the power button to trigger the shutdown sequence. Everything I find on google says to "do this and that" in safe mode...but I can't move the mouse or use the keyboard, regular or safe mode. So it's a chicken-and-egg dilemma; a Catch-22. However, the mouse and keyboard work within the BIOS, within the diagnostic tool, and within the aforementioned liveUSB of Ubuntu. So the problem lies in the system. I don't know what to do here. Machine is 64-bit. Doesn't have PS/2 ports. Do not have installation disc. I _do_ have a Dell "Drivers and Utilities" disc, though.

What can be the possible solution to a keyboard that the memory formatted, that's there's no voice on it again,no sound

[@jiayojames]

I mean I guess it did work weirdly enough, but is it even worth doing this every time you turn on the computer? What was causing the problem btw do you know if it was faulty keyboard or USB port, perhaps the bios settings, or was it the OS? I bet it was windows being a douche, man I have no idea why windows is still so popular when the free alternatives are actually better as well.

[@emreforum1]

Hey manthanks for the video. I've had some issues with my computer and then I had a CMOS CLEAR/BIOS RESET. Now the computer is stuck at Motherboard boot screen: - keyboard detected (but my hyperX keyboard had never worked while booting process idk why) - it asks me to enter bios setup but my keyboard just doesn't work. Should I try the things you did in that video or should I just try with an old PS2 cable keyboard? Thank you very much to who would like to answer.

[@Reclusiarch_jakal]

Wow I can't tell you how much I love you for this my man I unplugged everything, I don't have dell so I was stuck with not being able to arrow up and hit enter, I spammed the up key and enter key after I booted in like u said, wow Ty Ty Ty I was boiling with rage

[@NajotoGyorg]

I don't recommend pulling things out of your computer unless it's memory... You shouldn't have to do that in this case. Turn off your computer and unplug everything from it. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds. Plug only the keyboard, mouse, and monitor back into the pc. Startup. The keyboard should work on the inital startup period... Immediately press the function key that prompts the bios repeatedly. Once in the bios, make sure the usb controller is "enabled."

[@730caguilar]

Did you ever find out why it failed?? i want to re install my software but it re boots the computer to much to keep up with removing other cables and stuff. Is there a way to go around it?? Thanks.

[@dangopilled]

why would a computer fail to boot over the keyboard not working? is it important to bios or something?

[@DarthLyy]

Hey man, just wanted to tell you that it works after this without re-installing anything :)

[@new-knowledge8040]

I had purchased a refurbished Lenovo computer which came with an HP keyboard. I hooked everything up, and got the 3 beep problem. I did some YT video searches concerning others who had the same problem with a refurbished Lenovo computer that came with an HP keyboard. I found another guy who had the same problem. In his case, he switched to a USB keyboard, and then it worked fine. My guess was that the BIOS was not updating to recognizing the HP keyboard and thus registered an error. So To increase the chances of it doing so, I removed one 4GB mem card. It was now up and going. I then reinstalled the second 4GB mem card, and it too was working fine. So my guess is that when the refurbished units were tested, they were tested using a USB keyboard, thus not using the HP keyboard.
