Solve : usb port? |
|
Answer» My regular mouse port has stopped working. So I purchased a optical logitech mouse with a usb plug to use a different port.The mouse works fine but now I have to unplug the mouse usb plug before I start my computer or the system will not boot up.I have to wait till Windows is open before I plug the up. Can you help?Quote but now I have to unplug the mouse usb plug before I start my computer or the system will not boot up. What does the computer do when you try to boot with the USB mouse plugged in?Have you checked your BIOS if USB Mouse support is enabled? I think this thread should be MOVED to Hardware section.Thanks Aegis,When the mouse is plugged in and I turn on my computer I get a black blank screen with a dash flashing in the top left corner.That's strange, and not your fault. It's a mouse -- I've never seen a computer "care" about a mouse. It should just boot. Do you have more than one USB port you can try?Yes and all ports have the same result.A local service center told me the usb ports were trying to power up 1st and this was holding up start up. I down loaded a driver update but that did'nt help.Maybe you could get it so the USB ports power up later...although I have no idea how lol!I think the computer is detecting the USB mouse as an external storage. But Im not exactly sure with this one. Have you checked your BIOS? SEE if USB mouse support or some thing like USB legacy mouse suppot is enabled.Perhaps someone at the Logitech forum can assist. http://forums.logitech.com/logitech/I just had a flash of brilliance (everybody close their eyes, 'cause this is it for the rest of the year! ): Now, it could be that the PS/2 port quit working, as they sometimes do, but I wonder if reloading the motherboard drivers may help?? (I remembered a sound card, LAST year, where the person got sound if he plugged his speakers into the MICROPHONE jack. When he reinstalled drivers, all the physical ports were sorted correctly, again.) Maybe, just maybe, reinstalling the m-board drivers may reawaken and reassign correct function to the ps/2 and usb ports.Quote from: Aegis on JUNE 20, 2009, 10:55:01 AM 'cause this is it for the rest of the year! ):What? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO*continues on into infinity*!I hope not, but you have to go with the odds... |
