Distro Fever VIII: The Maddening?

Should have introduced him to my mother in law. She called to say she had a strange message on the screen “about F1” and didn’t understand what race cars at to do with PCs. It turned out that she had move her PC and to make things easier, had unplugged the keyboard (those with a mini-DIN). When plugging it back in, she wasn’t well aligned and just pushed the plug harder, thus bending all the pins to the bottom of the plug. Having brought my electronic repair tool bag just in case I managed to straighten them out…

And, “F1” is part of a silly message you got when the keyboard is not detected: No keyboard detected, strike F1 to continue or some such.
