I am experiencing a no start up with a flashing ? folder and along with that my keyboard is not connecting. I tried to utilize another keyboard (not apple) but it was to no avail. I have read different threads on what to do for the flashing folder but nothing in regards that associates with the keyboard.

You need a working keyboard. If you use a non-Apple keyboard, then the COMMAND key is usually the one immediately adjacent to the left of the SPACE bar. It is sometimes referred to as the Windows key. However, if the keyboard doesn't produce the same codes as a Mac keyboard, then you won't be able to use it because the Windows key will not work.
