But try the usual reset next -> It's at http://forums.cnet.com/7726-19681_102-3138013.html

As to no keyboard I have to guess the keyboard is there but since nothing booted you can't use it.
If the keyboard is in fact removed and gone, you replace the missing part.

Get a keyboard plugged in. Press f8 repeatedly to get into the 'advanced boot options'. From there choose to restore your system.

Try running the OS in safe mode
