In Reply to: ps2 keyboard hack problem please help. posted by Paul (smeagol) on 31, 2000 at 6:38 PM:
: I have soldered up a ps2 keybaord hack and think the soldering is fine. However when I plug it in I get no keys pressed on the "keyhook". I have done an old keyboard hack with the old 5 pin style plug and had no problems on my old machine. I notice that the old keyboard had an earth wire and there doesn't seem to be one for the ps2 is this my mistake? (ie does it have one, and where do I connect it?) or have I blown the chip on the keyboard card? Your help would be really really appreciated. Many thanks Smeagol.
Spamming this board will not get you an answer quicker. If you are going to say it was accidental, how did you "accidentally" change the subject and then hit post 2 more times?
There are 3 posibilities:
1)...You toasted the board from the keyboard.
2)...You toasted the part of the motherboard that receives the keyboard data.
3)...The connections you made do not represent any keys (unlikely).
