Solve : Keyboard and mouse will not connect? |
|
Answer» And you tried a PS/2 keyboard too, right? Maybe something to do with the jumper.... Doubtful, as most of them couldn't get any response from the keyboard from the moment they turned on their systems. They couldn't even access their CMOS settings or anything, whereas in this case it stops working as soon as Windows LOADS, which is what makes me lean towards this being a Windows problem. That jumper they're referring to clears the CMOS settings, it's common on a lot of motherboards. It's worth a try, but I don't think it will fix this. Case37, you did use a keyboard that fits into the purple port I've shown above in my previous post, right? (This port may not be COLORED on your system.)Karmac - that did look promising but no luck changing the jumper cable. Thank you quaxo for keeping me focussed on Windows. Since I could move around in BIOS I changed the boot SEQUENCE back to boot from the CD and finally got it to reinstall Windows after which the mouse and keyboard became functional again. I am now in the process of reinstalling all the Windows updates. and trying to get back to NORMAL. This is quite a relief to get this old machine back in order. Problem solved.Quote from: case37 on April 21, 2009, 11:35:17 PM Karmac - that did look promising but no luck changing the jumper cable. Thank you quaxo for keeping me focussed on Windows.

Yeah, that's what I FIGURED it was. Sorry you had to go as far as reinstalling, I know what an annoyance that can be. Never seen it quite so persistent like that. Usually switching ports around or using a PS/2 keyboard and mouse will get ya through, then you can plug the USB ones back in. Glad you got it sorted now though. Let us know if you have any problems getting Windows setup again. |
