Im building a digital photo frame from an ibm thinkpad 380.But the BIOS will not allow it boot up unless the keyboard is connected. Does anyone have any suggestions on bypassing this?
If you kill the keyboard in the BIOS, you'll likely not be able to use the StinkPad for anything else. Unless you remove the battery from the Motherboard, thus resetting the BIOS.
When you boot up the StinkPad, press F2 or f12 (I forget which, but the boot sequence will tell you which key to press to access the BIOS). Once in the BIOS, look for input/output devices and turn off the keyboard. Then kiss the StinkPad g'bye.
