Testing Keyboards
Keyboards are tested for functionality. The good ones are then distributed throughout the building (Build, Thrift Store, etc.) or are boxed up for Bulk Sales. The bad ones are recycled.
- TO RECYCLE A KEYBOARD
- Cut off the cord and put it in the shopping cart with other cords.
- Put the keyboard in the Gaylord on the sidewalk.
To test a keyboard, follow these steps
- Connect the keyboard to the system using the extender provided.
- Using the arrows on the keyboard, select the KBD heading
- Using the arrows on the keyboard, select the Scan/ASCII test and hit enter
- A window will pop up, select CONTINUE
- You will see on the screen what looks like a keyboard. when you hit a key on the keyboard, a little star will appear on the keyboard image on the screen. this means the key works (if you do not see a star, the key does not work). TEST EVERY KEY ON THE KEYBOARD. if any keys do not work then RECYCLE the keyboard.
- If all the keys work then hold down the CTRL key and hit the BREAK key. Put a keyboard sticker on the working keyboard and put it in the outgoing box.
- Plug a new keyboard in and start all over!
