Help with BIOS settings

[kennybob]

I have this big problem. My keyboard connector on my motherboard (FIC VA-503+) broke off and I bought a USB keyboard. CTBIOS readout is as follows:
Computer ID : FC, Type : AT
BIOS Date : 04/18/00
Award BIOS found : Award Modular BIOS v4.60PGA
Award ID-String : 04/18/2000-VP3-586B-W877-2A5LEF09C-00
Board/BIOS-Version : Version JE439
OEM : F.I.C.
URL : http://www.fica.com
Chipset : VP3-586B-W877 //VIA 597VP3


With this keyboard installed I can't get into my bios to change anything., especially the USB Controller Enabled setting.

I found this program called ASETUP which seems to have been written for Award BIOS's so you can change your bios at a DOS prompt. But the problem is that it seems to only work in DOS (not a DOS box in Windows since it changes memory settings), and since my keyboard doesn't work in dos I can't use it.

If I can't get a program to work in a DOS box (since the keyboard works in Windows), would anyone know what wires in a keyboard cable needs to go to what pin in a 5 pin DIN. I have a IBM keyboard with the colors Red, Yellow, Light Gray, Brown (or black, hard to tell), and the shield wire.

Thanks

Try clearing CMOS and try again. It worked for me in several other boards.

Or in case that the default setting is USB keyboard: disabled, you can use MODBIN to edit the BIOS so it will be enabled by default, then flash it and clear CMOS.
