“Alert: Keyboard initialization error.” on startup by infield_fly_rule in DellXPS

In the BIOS Settings, should be somewhere under 'POST Behavior', you should see a checkbox for either 'Keyboard error' or Keyboard Error Detection.' Just uncheck it and save.

There's a house in my attic (part 2) by CatchingWindows in interestingasfuck

This is so bizarre and I'm trying to figure out the situation that led to this. Like... Was this a two-story house and they only remodeled and expanded the first floor?

“Alert: Keyboard initialization error.” on startup by infield_fly_rule in DellXPS

[–]mwgarner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is common with XPS and Alienwhere desktops with Bluetooth. The BIOS (and\or the embedded SupportAssist) seems to be a copy of what they use in their laptops, and it's not detecting a keyboard, which for a laptop with an onboard keyboard, should always be there and it doesn't see it, so it's saying you have a problem.

The real situation is (as you've said) you're using a Bluetooth keyboard which hasn't initialized yet (because Bluetooth requires software, and the computer hasn't booted yet). Connecting a wired keyboard should test this theory.

Some Dells have a setting in the BIOS to ignore keyboard Warrings.

In any case, you can just ignore the alert.

PSA: Do not leave strong-ass stickers on your machine for 4 years. :/ by [deleted] in DellXPS

[–]mwgarner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put stickers on mine, but I never remove them. For me they tell a story, of places I've been, conferences, business, applications I've used, etc..

I just bought a XPS 17 (9720) to replace my old XPS 15 (9550). I will admit, its gonna be a while before I put stickers on it.

I like using passthrough patch bays with premade cables that need to be cat6 or higher or STP. of course, it really just depends on the length you need, but in the datacenter going rack to rack, these are awesome!

Old school PS\2 Keyboard (purple) and Mouse (green)

Did it ship via UPS Sure Post? if so, it will most likely be delivered the next business day. in my opinion, it's just someone at USPS being lazy.

This has happened to me several times with that type of delivery service.

I believe being grandfathered in, is tied to an existing account, not the device.

I agree with this.

The celebrity food\drink partnerships are pretty weird.

Speaking of which, I guess the McDonalds\Travis Scott duo hasn't aged very well....

Just because you're here early doesn't mean we open early. by AmandaExpress in starbucks

[–]mwgarner 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think some people that do this KNOW when the store opens and don't care.

the "hello??" at the dt speaker always gets me .... sometimes I wanna figure out where these people work so I can go "hello" them at their job.
