Hi Matevž, Thanks for the good advice! The keyboard actually worked for all purposes like selecting the startup drive, getting into firmware, booting into safe mode, and so forth. It's when the OS is loaded that I would lose all keyboard input.
Tried all of the above. No cigar. Then I switched the HDD for another HDD with Leopard also installed (remnants of a dying MDD that I'm parting out) and everything works as it should. I Googled the problem and found at least a couple of instances where people lost keyboard access after trying an incompatible stick of RAM, but zero solutions or explanations. So now, although I solved the problem somehow, I am curious as to what might have caused it in the first place. Any ideas?
