AIM: To troubleshoot the keyboard and Monitor

Required Equipment: Keyboard and Monitor

Procedure:

Troubleshooting means to take a logical, systematic approach to identify the source or


cause of the problem, and then apply a solution so that the computer is working normally
again. The primary objectives of troubleshooting are to figure out why something doesn't
work as intended and provide a solution to resolve the issue.

Keyboard Troubleshooting

Keyboard is a set of typewriter-like keys that enables you to enter data into a computer.
Computer keyboards are similar to electric-typewriter keyboards as depicted in the
Figure, but contain additional keys. The keys on computer keyboards are often classified
as follows:

Alphanumeric keys — letters and numbers

Punctuation keys — comma, period, semicolon, and so on.

Special keys — function keys, control keys, arrow keys, Caps Lock key, and so on.

If its USB connection type issue then try to plug the keyboard into different USB port due
to any USB connection may be loose.

Troubleshooting keyboards is not difficult, but in most of the cases if the problem persists,
then it’s better to replace it.

If you spilt a liquid on the keyboard, you have to remove one key at a time and clean
underneath them.

Another common problem is, keyboard isn’t sending a signal to the computer. Check
connection first. If this seems to be okay then your keyboard may be faulty itself.

If your keyboard is a constant problem, simply replace it.

Monitor Troubleshooting

As I learned from first-hand experience – if your monitor is saying no signal, it’s not
necessarily a hardware is faulty. In many cases, it can be something as simple as a loose
cable.

The no signal error appears when your monitor is on but isn’t detecting a signal from the
connected device.

Here is some of the effectively troubleshooting for the monitor. We’ll start with the
simplest solutions and work our way to the more complex ones.

Please try out all troubleshooting methods before jumping to a conclusion.

Check Your Cables

Before you try anything else, start by examining your monitor cables closely. A faulty,
loose, or wrongly-placed cable is one of the most common reasons for a monitor saying no
signal.

Check Monitor Input Source

In today’s market where versatility is a must, many monitors have multiple input sources.
If, for whatever reason, your monitor is set to the wrong input source, you’ll no doubt
experience any signal issue.

Reset the Monitor

Sometimes, resetting the monitor can help to restore things to working order. The
resetting process is usually simple, but it can vary depending on your monitor’s
Manufacturer.
Test with Different Device or Monitor

Cables are all in working order, and your monitor is set to the appropriate input? Then the
likelihood is that there’s either an issue with the monitor itself or your device.

Check Resolution Configuration

Before opening up your PC, it’s worth checking if the resolution configuration is at fault.
If your graphic card’s resolution is set to higher than your monitor can support, it will
almost certainly cause a no signal issue.

Check PC’s Hardware

If the methods above haven’t worked, you’ll need to open up your PC and check the
hardware. Before you begin troubleshooting the hardware, make sure your computer is
turned off. You should also unplug all cables (including the power cord).

We recommend checking the graphics card first, as this is the most likely to cause a “no
signal” issue if it’s loose or damaged. Another component we recommend checking is
your ram sticks can cause monitor display issues. Then check the rest of the hardware
including the motherboard, PSU.

Result: Hence we can troubleshoot the Keyboard and Monitor
