TLDR: How can I troubleshoot malfunctioning keyboard to see if it needs repair or PS/2 serial is failing on computer
Im an owner of a circa 1991 Model M PS/2 connection. Ive owned it for 17+ years and have never had a problem until today.
My CPU(about 3 years old) has a PS/2 serial port. I lost my PS/2 to usb adapter 10 or so years ago.
Keyboard was unresponsive this morning. After a restart, it worked again.
However, throughout the day computer beeps once then keyboard goes unresponsive again. I dont believe its losing power(most recent episode num lock light stayed on).
ONE time, computer beeped more than once (3 times? I didnt get an exact count) before going unresponsive. All other times its been 1 beep.
Anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot it to figure out if its my port or my keyboard? Any suggestions are much appreciated.
