I have found temporary solution, I pull both the USB cables on my KVM for a few seconds, when they are both pulled I leave them unplugged for 5 seconds and then plug them back in and now the switch is happy again until the next time.

Sadly, it is probably the KVM as this particular model has a string of failures and is only rated 2 out of 5 stars on Amazon due to poor performance. :( http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F1DK102U-2-Port-Switch-Cables/dp/B0001JXAQ6/ref=sr_1_1/105-6999807-3936431?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187826004&sr=8-1 What I would do first is plug in Computer 2 directly to the monitor, keyboard and mouse with no KVM. If those work fine, it is probably not a computer issue; if you don't get video here, then it is a seperate issue with that PC. If Computer 2 is working, plug both computers into the KVM but switch the cables (plug Computer 1 into the KVM using Computer 2's cables). If Computer 2 shows up and can't switch to Computer 1, then it is the KVM messing up.

Mac keyboard not working through SV211KDVI on windows

Chances are that the distance between the keyboard & the PC computer is attenuating the signal of the keyboard below the threshold (or level) required for interfacing with the PC computer.

Perhaps a shorter KVM cable between the KVM unit & the PC computer could be helpful.

Monitor works sometimes and sometimes not

Reboot pc until you have a picture, then try updating the drivers for the monitor and your gpu if applicable, outdated drivers can cause erratic and intermittent behavior. Navigation to drivers access varies slightly based on operating system.

I think you've already found the prob.See if Belkin has a driver upgrade to 7 for that model. If not, may be time to buy a new model.

Dimension 5100 will not turn on

Try checking your Computer Management Services.

I had a similiar problem with a laptop. Just stopped working one day. Could not shutdown because it would not restart without disconnecting power. Could not reboot, because it would not restart without power being disconnected.

Checked Computer Management Services and found some of the services had been turned off.

Try this and let me know if you need more help.

Anytime I moved my laptop, the screen would switch off. I left it with PC repair shop. They said it worked fine for them. I took it home. Now I just have to touch the laptop (usually lefthand corner beside...

If thats the case then its probably the cable from your screen to the motherboard. This cable is called the screen ribbon cable. these cables are not meant to be pulled out and in more than 2 times and after that they become unpredictable. Ask the shop if they can replace it.

Keyboard hotkey stopped working I plugged in the switch & it worked fine with no problem. Then I found the software download that would allow a keyboard hotkey to switch between computers, instead of having to hit the button on the switch. That worked for about a day. The next time I booted up my computers, one of them still allows the hotkey to work, but the other does not. There's a little red circle with a redline through it on the icon in the taskbar. (the kind of red circle you get on the volume icon when sound is muted). Is there an easy way to "re-activate" the software and allow the keyboard hotkey to work again?
