MSI Wind U100: keyboard problem

Do you know someone on this planet who can manage to destroy a 399€ jewel in less than a hour? Now you do. I just tried to update the BIOS of my new, flaming, MSI Wind U100 Black when I found out power wasn’t plugged. So I thought “what’s the problem, let’s just plug it in”. I wish I had never done that: keyboard suddenly stopped working. I tried rebooting to Windows XP (a pure DOS environment is required for BIOS updates) but, sadly, nothing changed. Keyboard was not working, no keystrokes where detected, I wasn’t even able to get into BIOS, since DEL key wasn’t working as well. But, before getting too despaired, I tried to unplug Wind’s power sources (yes, even the battery!). After a few minutes, I turned it on again and keyboard was working again.
I hope you will find this article useful, it could save your heart from breaking in case you encounter this very same issue
