If the wire to the mouse and keyboard are not usb plugs than make sure they are plugged in correctly and restart your computer.

SOURCE: Trying to install windows and at the boot screen

I have seen this before, and the best answer I can offer you is some Motherboards are better than others when working with usb devices while no OS is in place. I actually tried using usb / to / ps/2 adapters and it still would not recognize the usb keyboard in a couple of instances. I had to get a ps2 keyboard for the installation of windows. After windows was installed I hooked up the usb keyboard and it worked fine. (just speaking from my own personal experience here)

Sorry I do not have a more technical answer for you but I'm almost 99.9 % sure this should work, providing there is no problem with the ps2 keyboard port on the Motherboard. I have never failed to install windows unless there was another hardware based issue of some kind, but never a problem with a known good ps2 keyboard.

Just double check everything is seated properly and try to get into the bios setup, if you cannot use the usb keyboard for this, you can try the usb / ps2 adapter, but if that doesn't work either then use a regular ps2 keyboard. That should work fine, then after setup is complete, windows is installed, then your usb keyboard should work fine.

SOURCE: compaq presario sr2150nx keyboard and mouse wont work

Plug the keyboard in first and see if you can get that to respond properly. If it acts up then just only hook up the mouse and see if you can get the mouse to respond properly. If that acts up then try another known working mouse and keyboard.

If both ps2 devices still act up then your ps2 ports are bad and you'll either have to go with a usb mouse and usb keyboard or replace the motherboard. Let me know if you need more help.

It sound like your USB Ports is the problem. Go to the Hardware manager delete the USB Ports and then shutdown and power back up.
The system then should reinstall the USB Ports and associated drivers. If not the USB Ports were probably fried by the power outage.

SOURCE: keyboard wont work

Are you using windows xp? if so - close the on screen keyboard out, then click on start-run and enter osk and click ok. once the keyboard reopens, click on "keyboard" at the top, and ensure "standard keyboard" is selected. If you hover your mouse over the keys, are you seeing the keys illuminate in blue?

The cursor will not move and I cannot use the laptop at all.

The cursur moves from the sensory pad, if the pad went out the cursur will not move.. I would start by installing an external wireless mouse or even a basic plug in mouse to the usb port and see if you can cntrol the cursor then. Cheap wireless mouses with a small included usb donggle can be used in place of the sensory pad cursor

My msn u180 notebook seems to have locked the keboard. it wont type, though lets me add external usb keboard and works

You might need to replace the keyboard. It should be a fairly inexpensive fix for a computer shop.

I have a HP Pavilion s1600n with Windows XP Media Edition. The keyboard and mouse have stopped responding. Both are properly plugged in

if you are sure that your mouse and keboard are in good condittion and it is all ps2 port type the problem maybe the system driver for keyboard and mouse of your operating system, please get an extra usb port type keyboard and mouse and plugged it in to your pc and power it on the usb type keyboard and mouse may refresh the system driver and may read again your ps2 type keyboard and mouse.

Acer 5100 keyboard and mouse will not work. No

Hello there, this is usually caused by one of three things.

Either something was just plugged in (usually USB) that is interfering that you can just unplug

The computer has locked up for another reason (more in a sec.)

Mainboard could possibly be bad / going bad =(


To test if the computer itself is locked up try plugging in an external USB mouse or keyboard to see if you can get that to work. If it does then that means the keyboard and mouse built in are failing, which again basically means the mainboard is failing.

Hopefully it will be that the computer is completely locked up so when you plug in an external usb mouse or whatever it won't respond. That's easiest to fix.

Please let me know

Thanks
Tim

KEYBOARD

If you are using a USB keybord then you will have to change the settings in your bios setup so as to enable USB support, thus you will be able to use you usb keyboard and usb mouse, but you will obviously need a ps/2 keyboard in order to access the bios setup and make the necessary changes. On the other hand if you are already using a ps/2 keyboard the problem could be the keboard, so try another one if that does not work then you keyboard slot could be damaged (try a usb keyboard - with any luck the usb interface would already have been enabled but you can also enable it within your operating system just using your mouse. Also check with your ps/2 keyboard that you are pluging is in the correct slot (purple- keyboard, green- mouse)

Manual

Microsoft does not have manuals for their wireless keboards and mouse.
I will give you a few things to look at as I have the same Keyboard.
Normal 0 Go to Control Panel.
1. Click on Keyboard.
2. When the Keyboard Properties come up, CLICK on Key Settings.
3. Then set up the keys by selecting the Key to be changed.
Normal 0 Go to Control Panel and click on the Mouse icon.
Then select the Mouse button you need to program.
Normal 0 Press the Receiver button (and the lights will start flashing.
Then if the Keyboard isn't working, press the small RESET/CONNECT button on the back of the board to connect the keyboard to the receiver.

If the MOUSE isn’t working, push the small RESET/CONNECT button on the back of the mouse to connect to the receiver. Then they should work okay.
Hope this helps. Bud
