Ok, not to long ago I opened my computer to dust it, without touching any components, because I used a shotvak.
Anyway, after a huge hassle trying to get the computer to boot up and find memory (found out plugged in iPod was the problem), I now have another error.
Whenever I turn on the computer, it goes through the checking and then stops after 'second slave', and says, 'keyboard error or no keyboard found', and I've tried 3 working keyboards (including the one I'm using now) and nothing. So it's a problem with the computer, it was working earlier today, so what could possibly be wrong, and how can I fix it?

Provided you are discussing a windows PC
The computer BIOS is telling you that it "keyboard error or no keyboard found" is mostly due to two reasons:
1.) the keyboard went bad
2.) the connector or keyboard controller is not functioning in PS2 connector.
I would make sure that you didn't accidentally plug the mouse in the keyboard connector and the keyboard in the mouse connector.
Being that you tried several keyboards and if the above is not the cause of the problem. I would try a USB keyboard and see if that will correct the problem..:) USB keyboards mostly work in windows me and above operating system. Windows 9X may not work properly with a usb keyboard

Keyboards form part of the user interface and a keyboard problem can be very annoying. Sometimes the keyboard drivers can get corrupted. Some of the problems can be fixed . I have found the details given at http://fixit.in/keyboard.html is more useful.

Is the problem with PS/2 or USB keyboards?
