Check keylock, mouse or keyboard

Today my father brought up the fact that he wanted to throw away his old Amstrad 2086D, so i decided to try and check if it was still working, to see if there's a chance to sell it. I found every component and it turned on, however I got this message:

"Check keylock switch, keyboard and mouse"

I already found a post on this sub that tackled this issue, i tried with both positions of the keylock (down and right) and it leads to the same screen (with the difference that the key down makes the PC do a more frequent beep sound than when the key is to the right), i tried plugging in and unplugging both mouse and keyboard, but still nothing. I also checked the pins for both mouse and keyboard and they look fine

On the other post people also mentioned 'bridging the connector to the other end', how do i do that? And is there anything else that i could try?

I also have the OS floppy disks but if the inputs are not working i don't think they would be useful.
