if keyboard doesnt show any lights, then it's a hardware issue
brave yew
is it a wired USB keyboard, or something else?
desert ginkgo
Wired usb
brave yew
power the computer down
unplug AC power cable from computer back
wait 3 minutes
this is desktop?
desert ginkgo
Would unplugging the ac cable from the power outlet do the same
brave yew
as long as it's the right cable for sure
desert ginkgo
Because i just came back with it plugged for about 30minutes
Yes its a desktop
I did unplug it anyway just now though
brave yew
yep press power button in for a few seconds too
then later try with just one monitor connected
when u power on, the keyboard caplock and numlock light should blink on]off
and u should see manufacturer logo on active screen

Nothing on the monitor or keyboard
desert ginkgo
Nope
Havent changed a thing. All that happened was the configuration screen this morning
brave yew
was the config screen something related to BIOS?
if you got no keyboard lights blink on, that's not good
unplug any other USB stuff
including mouse
just have keyboard. maybe even change to different USB port that. and power on again.

Nope
Only thing ive touched is resolution

well, if it doesnt even get into BIOS with a press of the BIOS key... then look at the motherboard lights / pulse pattern/ colours. and get your motherboard model, and find online documentation on it and the lights meanings
may end up having to visit repair shop too.

The light dosent pulse its just a splid orange red
Which is the normal as far as ive seen
