Please test it using other USB keyboard and USB mouse, and see the device status in the Control Panel (Control Panel, Device Manager). Is the keyboard item missing? Is there any USB item with an exclamation mark?
Loading problems are usually due to a hard drive that is almost full, leaving windows with no "swap file" (or virtual ram). It can also be down to a very badly fragmented hard drive.
The mouse and keyboard problem ( I;m assuming you are using a Ps2 mouse and keyboard) point to a failed connector on the back panel. Try using a USB mouse and keyboard, (if you are using one already and this model supports ps2, try the other way)
If the USB ports on the computer do not work, to use a keyboard or mouse, then the problem is more serious and you may have a damaged motherboard
Are you using a wireless mouse or keyboard? If so try using one that you plug in. As for the cd rom and hard drive all you need is one cable for each device hooked to seperate connectors on the motherboard. Ususally the hard drive will be sata which is a red cable and can only go onto one connector on the motherboard. the cdrom is an ide cable(grey usually) and there is a seperate connector for that on the mainboard.
i found 2 computers in the trash. the keyboard and the mouse does not work with a hard drive in it.i cant even get into the bios. when i remove the harddrive. the mouse and keyboard works fine. what could be the problem.
if you tried to connect your mouse to the keyboard port and still it doesn't work. Power cycle meaning unplug the KVM from the CPU, monitor, keyboard and mouse. Then wait for about 30seconds before reconnecting again. If you still encounter the same problem that the keyboard port won't work then it means that keyboard port is defective. Replace it.
Hi. What device are you using? I suggest that you check if the keyboard is hooked up to the correct port. You will see underneath the KVM an icon that looks like a mouse and a keyboard. Make sure that everything is hooked up correctly. It should be okay once you connect them properly. Press "scroll lock" twice.
Your local electronics store has a USB keyboard and mouse port dongle. Or if you have a USB keyboard or mouse. Once you get functionality, choose Start>Run and type in "CMD" without quotes and hit enter. You will get a black box with a command line, enter:
chkdsk /r
Windows will inform your the disk is in use and cannot perform, you choose yes and it will do so upon the next restart. Restart the machine and let it run the disk check utility. Place your ear on the palmrests (usually where hard drive is located inside bottom half of laptop). Listen for sudden hard clicks, similar to huccups. When it makes those noises the hard drive light usually stays solid, afterwards the hard drive will repeat the same "bad sector check" sound. Finally, if you notice the process taking more than a few hours, your disk is in trouble. Recover the data using an external drive bay (also at electronics store) and place the drive inside the bay and recoverit to another computer. Order a new hard drive, intall, and re transfer your files by any media or network.
