Hi. Off topic, but I figured my best chance for some input would be from here. <-- I am sure most of you shudder upon hearing this.... My gateway is switched with one of my desktops ie. monitor / keyboard. Unfortunately yesterday when I switched to check some stuff out I realised that the keyboard would not work. On a reboot I get beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, then keyboard not found or keyboard error. So, yes as mentioned just recently on this list, hard switches are _BAD_. Now, aside from purchasing a new mb (it's only a p133, still fairly new). Is there a way that I can either; a) break out the soldering gun and replace the damaged components ex. being if it was just the actual plug on the mb I am sure I could solder on a new one, or b) use either a serial port or parellel port to get this machine back up? Appreciated.. -- Paul H. ============================================================================ Don't underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
