I'm sorry for this noob question.
I got a cheapo dynex multimedia keyboard that stopped working. When plugged in, the caps, num lock, and scroll lock lights are all on. Device manager says it is an unknown device with no drivers. The problem is that dynex does not offer drivers for this model (DX-WKBD). http://www.dynexproducts.com/t-drivers.aspx

Please help.
 
The basic keyboard functions should work without installing any drivers. It's been my experience that you only need the drivers to use the multimedia keys on the keyboard, volume up down, stop play etc. It should work like any 101 key keyboard out of the box. It sounds like it is defective. Have you tried it in another PC or in a different USB port on that PC?
 
I think it is defective. I've tried different ports and computers, but the keyboard fails to work.
