I found a way to get the computer to start booting up, but I got a "BOOT FAILURE INSERT DISK AND PRESS ENTER" message. I don't know if the hard disk is bad, but putting a floppy system disk will boot the computer but still the keyboard doesn't work.

The magicJack unit was bad, but I can't see why I can't clear out anything it did and restart the computer. I think I should be able to clear out the CMOS and everything would be OK, but nothing I've tried worked. If I remove the power to the motherboard the beeping stops. If I remove the RAM...

It's a desktop, and I tried that but it is still the same. The problem first happened when I put a magicJack in the USB socket. The sound started and the computer locked up up. All it has is the POST screen and neither keyboard nor mouse responds.

I have a HP Pavilion 526x that won't boot up. It has a constant beep and the keyboard and mouse don't work. I have tried clearing the CMOS but haven't been able to.
