So my keyboard and mouse on my laptop had not been working for about 4 months. I've been using a usb keyboard and mouse since then. But yesterday i wanted to sit down and see if I could fix the problem. I installed the ps/2 drive like one tutorial said and rebooted the laptop. But after that it wouldn't boot up again. Instead the screen turns on but remains blank. I can press f10 to go to bios. I can also press f11 to go to system recovery. I've tried doing that many times and it just infinitely loops on please wait. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated. Thanks
