I'm testing a bunch of old motherboards before I get rid of them. I managed to get a Lucky Star LS-486E 486 board to post (after I thought I killed it years ago). One problem though is that after it POSTs, it complains of a key lock being blocked closed and I can't continue because I can't hit F1.
I have nothing on the key lock jumper on the board, and there isn't one in the case because I'm using an ATX case & PSU.
I know pin 1 is 5V for an LED, pin 4 is the keylock, and the other 3 pins are grounds. I tried shorting the key lock pins to all the grounds and that did nothing. Is there any way to disable the keylock altogether? Removing the CMOS battery does nothing.
