    I need to do some more BIOS configuration.  But when I push the

    manuals.  They say to push the "Delete" key after pushing the power
    button on top of the case.  Doing that seems to have no effect. 
    Neither
    does "Enter" nor "End" nor "F12".

    The motherboard is a Gigabyte "B650 GAMING X AX V2 (rev. 1.x)".

If you aren't already doing so, try using a wired keyboard.

I'm already doing so.

Connect the keyboard *directly* into one of the USB ports on the motherboard back panel rather than a case header on the front/top. (See section 2-6 in the motherboard manual https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_b650-gx-v2_1202_e.pdf?v=aa6a402bad181b9afe4e429f4302f979) I would start with the (a) ports, then try the (f) or (j) ports failing that.

It's already connected to the back (a) ports.  I tried switching the cables; that made things worse. I tried the (f) and (g) (not (j)) ports.  That worked.  I am now successfully using my Fedora Live Media once again.

Thank-you, Will.

Since things worked in ports (f) and (g) but not (a), I'm inclined to think the keyboard is fine, but the motherboard might have a problem.
