Keyboard is not detected bu the bios

I have a dell e7240 computer. All of a sudden the keyboard stopped working. I did everything I could do. By the way, I'm an electronics technician. No success. I bought a brand new keyboard. This didn't work either. I updated the bios. It didn't work that way either. So the bios doesn't detect the keyboard. I couldn't find the wiring diagram of this computer and I don't know who is in charge of the keyboard. I bought another matherboard. I installed the new keyboard on it and it still doesn't work. I can't explain what's going on. I've fixed a lot of computers, but I'd never come across a problem like this. All the information on the internet about this problem starts with images showing instructions to recover the keyboard, a comical situation, by pressing f2 or f5. Well, how to press these two keys if the keyboard doesn't work at all. It's just silly! Do you have any ideas?

Have you tried an external USB keyboard, your post does not indicate that you may have.

@JOcean 

seems like the keyboard cable is faulty. External USB keyboard is always a good idea to check if other parts are faulty too.
@Matt Hafflinger did you change the keyboard cable?
And did you change the motherboard? You stated that in your post.
How did you update the BIOS w/o a keyboard?
