Also check in the bios if there is something u need to turn on like USB keyboard support or something like that  |

Why not just buy another PS/2 keyboard? With the ghetto repairs you've done and your USB not being detected it's only a matter of time until you're stuck without a keyboard once more. |

This problem can be a pain in the backside, here is how you fix it.
First of all, your going to have to plug your broken keyboard into the computer unfortunally, so get wiggling it .
When your computer starts up, Install the keyboard drivers for the USB one. At this point, you are NOT to plug the USB one in
Reboot your computer for the driver changes to take place, and log in using your PS/2 connection keyboard.
Once windows is all done loading ur desktop and other crap, go ahead and plug the USB keyboard in but keep the PS/2 keyboard in just incase.
Windows will automatically detect your new keyboard and install it correctly. Test the keyboard by typing a story or something in Notepad or Microsoft Word...
Your device is now ready to be used and you can now unplug the PS/2 keyboard and throw it off the edge of a cliff .
Buying a PS/2 keyboard these days now is a little difficult since technology is too up to date with its self. Everything now is pratically relying on USB 2.0 - Edit - There is still a few PS/2 keyboard being made out there. |

Most USB keyboards and mice come with a USB 2 PS/2 adaptor,
if not they are about $1 to buy !

I haven't Gone out and got one cause i lost my card to withdraw money  i found out when i went to get a 4GB memory card for my PSP got to the store and went to check if i had enough and i couldn't find the Card in my Wallet, Found a coupon in it's place tho
Also ITCH my USB keyboard didn't come with one of those USB 2 PS/2 adapter cause i got the USB keyboard from my Friend for free when i showed him the laptop  |
