Why doesn't my keyboard work?

Why doesnt my keyboard work??

• Im using another PC, but the other one had a working keyboard and all of a sudden the lights wouldnt turn on so i checked the plug and wiggled but didnt work, unplugged it and found that the little pins were like bent and i tried to fix it but it just broke off so i figured that keyboard was dead, so i took a keyboard from another PC that works and it plugged in normally but it doesnt work!!!!! The Num lights blink when I plug it in but thats it, and if i wiggle it the lights just blink but it doesnt stay on.....I even tried plugging it on the mouse connector n it does the same thing... Whats wrong with it??? Im waiting for a USB keyboard to arrive.... P.S. on screen keyboard is very annoying!!!!

• Answer:

  This may or may not work depending on your computer and the operating system. 1.Plug in the keyboard then restart the computer. Some computers need the keyboard pluged on bootup for the computer to recognize the keyboard. 2. If you have a USB/PS2 adaptor you and use it to convert the keyboard to USB.
