    So the problem is I can't use the keyboard to access bios, but I can use it in windows.

    What I want to do is flash a newer bios hoping it could fix the problem. Problem is, my dvdrom is already busted. Im using winflash to flash but after the laptop restarts to load the ASUStek EZ Flash 2 BIOS ROM Utility V3.00, I still need to use the keyboard to load the ROM which I can't.

    Isn't there a way to flash the bios without the confirmation?
    Or other ways to fix the keyboard not detected problem?

    If you have a PS2 port on your machine try connecting a suitable external keyboard to access the BIOS.

    I know there is a way to do this with a .bat file on a bootable USB drive that does the flash and restarts the computer. I will do some searching and post when I find it.
