In my computer's BIOS I came across this phrase, "No keyboard detected" (I had forgotten to plug it in).
My question is, is "detected" in that phrase(sentence?) 1) a past participle(adjective), 2) a present perfect construction with omitted "has (been?)", or 3) just a past simple sentence?
In other words, which does "No keyboard detected" mean:
1) No keyboard is detected.
2) No keyboard has (been?) detected.
3) No keyboard detected (= verb, the past simple).
?
