    Just some random thoughts:
    is this USB? if so, are other USB devices working?
    is this a special KB that requires specific drivers?

    in device manager can you see it listed? if so, can you update the driver or remove/reinstall?

    Also, look closely at your connections, e.g. for bent/broken pins, dirt etc

    If it's PS2 and you get desperate, you can probably just go USB.
    also, some PS2 mouse/KB connections are interchangeable, so you might be able to try the mouse connection. e.g. my laptop has a single connector that can be used for both, to use external mouse AND KB requires a Y connector.

    If USB, is it providing the +5V power?
    If not, or if you're not sure, you could try a USB hub that has its own power adator.
