You should look for USB support for legacy devices in the BIOS and enable it if it is not on (you might need to do the reverse if it is already on).

If you have another keyboard around (or can borrow one for a boot), then you can get into the BIOS and re-enable USB legacy device support. If not, you can get a USB-to-PS/2 adapter easily enough -- an example is here: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1220387&CatId=469

Is 6199 the acer model or the error code that shows up when trying to boot? I've been assuming it to be the error code...

thank you guys for the assistance
I am scrapping the pc as the expense or the potential cost/benefit ratio does not justify continued exploration
It demonstrates that some failures are problematic and difficult to analyse to and address
Another thing is that spare parts from proprietorary models are significantly more expensive to replace than generic or retail branded componants
