iBook g4 boot keys not working

[Pr3viet]

As the title suggests the boot keys on my iBook g4 (open firmware, boot picker, etc) don't work. When I hold a key during boot it just ignores it and boots normally. All don't work except single user mode. Please help!

Does the keyboard work once booted into an OS?

When you hook up an external keyboard, can it get into any boot menus?

Take out the RAM stick. Count to 30 slowly. Put it back in and power it back up. It may be the firmware preventing it from happening and for some reason, this trick just might work.

While you’re in there, make sure the keyboard is firmly connected. You just never know.
