Yes, could well be a keyboard issue.

youtube video shows "inserf floppy and hit
enter" message on video, so
would it no be possibly a floppy problem, or maybe the keyboard isn't
getting the "enter" through?
The original video had a lot of clicking noises, which I didn't place the
source of. If the floppies spin / actuate that would be a clue.
The floppy drives quite often spin when you insert a disk so if that is
happening you'd know the motor voltage on the floppy drive is working.
I don't know if there are head load solenoids for 5 1/4" drives anymore,
so that may not be a clue.

I'd be looking at --
- Power supply
- Keyboard
- Cabling (remove and reseat connectors)
- Disc controller
