MP 1,1-5,1 MAC PRO 3,1 | KEYBOARD NOT WORKING!

[OCLP]

KEYBOARD DOES NOT WORK!!!

Specs:
MP 3,1
OCLP 0.6.4
OS Ventura 13.3

Machine does not boot, no Apple logo, no sign in screen, only chime sound comes up and the fan runs normally in GPU. THE KEYBOARD NOT WORKING. I cant use my keyboard at all to hold option key or command + R or to do any thing...

I tried many keyboards, all do not work. I tried to connect via the original USB 2.0 in the case and PCI USB 3.0 and also tired USB 3.0 hub with power. NONE MADE MY KEYBOARD WORK!!!

PLAESE HELP! What should I do!!?

I believe macOS Ventura is not compatible, even under OCLP, on the MacPro3,1. Get a Mac-flashed video card, install a supported OS, and then, if you want to keep using it under OCLP afterwards, you can install an OS that actually works on that machine, such as Big Sur or Monterey.

Thanks for reply. How can I install any OS if I can NOT use any button on the keyboard at all!?

Well you'll need some sort of way to navigate through Recovery...

I'm starting to think this could be a deeper issue, perhaps a hardware failure. Have you tried a USB 2.0 or 3.0 PCI-e card?

And what exactly do you mean by "none of the keyboards work?" They don't work with OpenCore (i.e. they still work when NOT using OCLP), or they just flat out don't work? Have you tried them with any other machines?

Exactly... I am trying to recovery but without a keyboard since it is not working at all with the machine for some case and I dont know how can I do that!!

Nothing wrong with the keyboard itself. it works fine with another computers. The issue is in MACPRO itself. Yes I tried PCI USB 3.0 and the original USB 2.0 in the macpro and also USB 3.0 hub. All of them do not let the keyboard work so I can NOT do recovery since I can NOT use the keyboard.

ANY IDEA??
