Stuck Key

You said,"Maybe you have a stuck key"

Sometime ago I found "Error 0210: Stuck Key" upon examining the Bios( I think it was here!!) Because there seemed to be no problem with the operation of the PC did not pursue it further. However, I am curious as to explanation.

DellXPS550
Win98SE
NVIDIA TNT2 M64 4XAGB
128.0 RAM

    Thank you, Kay, for the explanation and resolution for the "stuck key." Excellent forum here for those of us who are trying to become computer literate. Junor

    Hi,

    Sometimes there is no real explanation. You can get this error if you press and hold a key while the system is booting; it's actually a possible way to force the system to allow you into Setup if you can't get in any other way.

    Sometimes the error is reported when you have no reason to think it would be. And sometimes, you really do have a stuck key on your keyboard. In any case, you enter Setup, view the DMI Event log and clear the message, save the change and exit Setup. Continue the boot and see if it reports again. Most likely it won't, especially since you say the keyboard works well for you.

    HTH,

    Kay
