I have partial dead motherboard. Partial because the PS/2 port is dead. So I cannot use a PS/2 Keyboard. But I know that I can plug USB keyboard and work fine ...but: In BIOS Setup I need to change settings "Support USB Keyboard" to Enable (default is Disable).

So, how can I edit BIOS binary file (Tools, methods) and change default setting for the USB keyboard to ENABLED as default.

The motherboard is Shuttle.

Open the BIOS image using MODBIN, change default settings to Enabled and save. Then you need to flash it and clear CMOS to force it to load default settings.
The PS/2 ports are usually dead because of blown fuse on the board. If the keyboard LEDs do not blink when the board is powered on, the fuse is blown. It's usually near the PS/2 connector, marked F1 or F2.
