Any advice on how to zap PRAM on Macbook Pro with non-functioning keyboard. Tried external keyboard without success. Can't boot into OSX because while installing Bootcamp drivers failed to load. My mac is in a loop trying to install Windows 7.

I know you said not working keyboard but try this anyway shut down your MBP and have your power cord connected and plugged in hold down the left shift , control ,option and power keys at the same time for a second or two then release them all at the same time . Then restart your computer this is an SMC reset not PRAM .

Zap Pram on Macbook Pro

The keyboard wasn't working for several months prior to trying to install Bootcamp. None of the keys work.

Sounds like this computer has multiple problems. Time to bite the bullet and reduce the list.
