Thread: Leading keyboard and mouse troubles

OK, I was application my computer as usual, back my keyboard and abrasion both chock-full working. I rebooted, but the botheration is constant admitting all my attempts to boldness it. I have approved replacing the abrasion with a altered one, but that does not accept any effect. I ran a virus analysis about an hour before the botheration occurred but came up with annihilation so virus action seems unlikely.


The capital botheration is that I can't access BIOS or amount Windows in Safe Mode back the keyboard doesn't assignment at any time, alike during start-up. I've alike approved loading the computer with a MS-DOS cossack billowing disk, but the keyboard wasn't alive at the end of that either. All I can anticipate of now is that my motherboard is absolutely knackered, but if addition can appear up with annihilation that ability assignment I'll be both actual afflicted and always grateful.

Are you application a wireless setup?

Have you approved addition keyboard? I anticipate you approved addition mouse, are you abiding the access are not broken...or in the amiss slots?

No, both keyboard and abrasion are PS/2. Additionally, I have been application this accoutrement with no problems for about two years now. The OS is Windows XP.

If what animated appropriate are not the case, I anticipate your larboard with asleep ports on your mobo, its accessible that you absurd them out somehow. you could either get a new mobo or try and adhesive on new ports from an old mobo, etc. Windows has annihilation to do with the botheration because your keyboard and PS/2 abrasion are controlled by the mobo. I would try using a USB abrasion and keyboard, if they assignment again you familiar its your ports.

I have got a before botheration I could use some advice with. Neither keyboard or abrasion will assignment back the apparatus is booted into Windows, BUT I CAN get into the BIOS and use the keyboard there. Thinking it was a Windows issue, I formatted the hard drive and re-installed Win98SE. Both abrasion and keyboard formed the aboriginal bisected of the install, but back the apparatus re-booted the additional time, the abrasion and keyboard no best work. I am baffled! Suggestions? Opinions?Thanks!
