Dry my Ps2 keyboard?

I spilled some water on my keyboard and I can't make it work... Will it work once it dries or what I bring to the repair shop? I have an acer laptop.

Beth

Wouldn't be just the keyboard.  I'm not sure of the age of the laptop or what it's worth, but it could be cheap to fix or not.  Your best bet is to wait a day or two and see if drying helped if not the repair shop

  • PS2 Keyboard (s) do not work then in the BIOS of 8148-22U. Can not set anything in the BIOS!

    Ref: ThinkCentre A50 8148-22U.

     

    PS2 Keyboard (s) only then work in BIOS, safe MODE, or RESTORE the DEFAULT settings. I can't configure anything in the BIOS, and I have no video after the start. The arrow keys, touch, touch ESC are all dead!

    I always try to get the video display is working again. He has only a "black screen" after starting up just after the Windows logo screen.

    Now, even though I see the BIOS shows, none of the keys on the keyboard works. Therefore, I can't change the video settings, get the system to restore everything back to the "default".

    I tried two different PS2-style keyboards. Neither one is recognized for some reason any.

    Is there a FLOPPY DISK UTILITY so that I can buy that could I want to boot from it, without going by whatever problems that prevent me from this computer to the factory settings reset?

    Please, is - can anyone answer this question?

    Thank you

The docking station Toshiba allow PS2 connections that I'm using a terminal switch on several PCs, who needs this connection to drive, thanks, Peter

    normally, the PS2 ports work fine with the keyboard or the mouse. I never had any problems with it. Maybe your docking station ports are defective.

  • Tecra M5: external PS2 keyboard only works after restart

    Hello

    I have a Tecra M5 with a Port Replicator III Plus. I plugged a mouse and a keyboard via PS2. The mouse works fine, but the keyboard does not work in the Windows XP logon screen. Just after the restart of the keyboard works.

    I tried a few other keyboards, same problem. USB keyboard works without problem. I also reinstalled the mobile extensions and tried to change some BIOS settings.

    Hello

    I heard somewhere on this forum with the PS2 mouse problem but doesn't quite describe keyboard problem. have you tried to use the USB adapter like this one http://www.unitedsale.net/products/image-02/USB-to-Dual-PS2-01.jpg?

  • A ps2 keyboard convert USB simply using an adapter?

    Toshiba, Win XP Pro, ps2 Mitsumi external laptop keyboard. I want to use this keyboard in addition to the internal keyboard. Will it work simply by using a USB adapter or do I have to do something else? My laptop has no PS/2 port.

    Only if it has been designed for a.  The all-new (as still in its original packaging, but not really NEW) Mitsumi keyboards I've seen are designed according to DIN (aka AT) and sheets mini-DIN (aka PS/2) and do not come with an adapter.  They precede the widespread use of USB.  Later keyboards use the lower signal levels and are designed with adapters of connection to hot and passive in mind.

    As above, most of the adapters are passive and only connect PS/2 cables to equivalent USB contacts.  What you really need is a PS/2 to USB converter that has an integrated circuit (IC) that makes active signal conversion, I know the IOGear GUC10KM ($19,95 USD MSRP) is such a device, but I've never used.  TigerDirect/CompUSA sells it for $15.99.

    (No, I do not work for IOGear or TigerDirect/CompUSA.  "They have just the best deal today.)

  • PS2 Keyboard and mouse hooked after XP SP3 installed

    Upgrade to SP3.  Keyboard works very well to get into the BIOS.  F8 works very well to get to choose the Safe Mode, and al. or not.  Once XP takes control, the keyboard and mouse are unresponsive.  Mouse move the pointer on the screen, the keyboard will not activate numlock or other keys LED.  Power - off only option.  Tried other keyboards and other mouse.  No go.

    Any ideas?  Perfect condition ' puter til SP3!

    I said nothing about "of special drivers', I suggested seeking & install the updated drivers. If none is available, there is a very good chance that your older equipment of keyboard and mouse is not supported in WinXP SP3.

    Free installation and unlimited compatibility support for WinXP SP3 is available since April 14, 2008 to May 2009. This support will cost U.S.$ 59 or by higher incident now.

  • Keyboard ps2/usb adapter

    I have an old ps2 keyboard, I am trying to connect to my laptop (Pavilion g6) but cannot find how to do the bios to accept connections from the ps2.

    Is there anyway that I can avoid the replacement of the keyboard?

    This clickykeyboards site connected by banhien is very informative. Who knew is just as complex? The key point is that the keyboard has to be initiated at a level very low until the operating system loads even. The old right via adapters do not necessarily work with all PS2 keyboards. raymondobas watched by replacing just the keyboard on the laptop? It's probably cheaper and easier than you think.

  • HP Compaq DC7900 SFF - no support BIOS for USB keyboard/mouse

    I recently bought a lease out vintage 2009 DC7900-Windows 7 Home Premium running. It has connectors from the motherboard and BIOS support for a PS2 Keyboard and mouse. There also card mother support for USB but apparently BIOS does not support a USB keyboard and a mouse. Y at - it a BIOS update that adds support for USB keyboard and a mouse?

    Thank you

    Well, I found what seems to be the problem. My USB keyboard and mouse are connected to a KVM switch that in turn connects to the HP PC. The KVM cable provides keyboard and mouse via a simple USB connection. I have connected a second USB keyboard directly to another USB port, and as you say, the BIOS it supported. I then connected the USB keyboard and mouse for a simple USB hub and then to the HP PC, and BIOS does not recognize the keyboard once more. It would seem that the problem is that the BIOS of the PC HP does not support keyboard behind a USB hub connectivity. I have no detailed knowledge of USB connectivity but could guess that there must be a difference Protocol when I hub is in the Middle – obviously the PC must focus on a specific device behind the hub.

    In the end, I think I'm stuck just keep a separate keyboard (PS/2 or USB) around for those times when I need to communicate to the BIOS.

    I have another PC of the same vintage - a custom platform - and it handles the keyboard behind the hub very well. I wonder if all new PC BIOS handle this.

    Thanks again for your responses - very useful.

  • Equium A80: PS2/USB adapter does not work correctly

    I have a satellite A80. I bought an adapter to allow me to use a graphics tablet on the usb ports. The adapter gives a ps2 keyboard and mouse ps2.

    The adptor is recognized by windows and displayed in the list of hardware. It also shows the mouse connected to it as a gift. But, the problem is there is no movement of the mouse either and the ps2 keyboard does not work either.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    I have never used these adapters and I can t give you a solution, but I can only speculate on this issue.
    I think you should check the mouse options in Control Panel. Here, you can also configure the settings. It is possible with the USB mouse, but I don't know if this is possible with the USB - PS2 adaptor. However, you can check it out.

    I remember, a friend of mine tried to use the keyboard PS2 on the desktop PC.
    He bought a USB-> adapter PS2 but it didn t work.
    The technician had said that there could be an IRQ problem.

    Well, you can also try to go to Device Manager and select mice and other pointing devices area.
    If he has listed more than peripheral mouse so I recommend disable it and only turned on the PS/2 compatible mouse.
    Try to do the same thing with PS/2 keyboard.

  • Keyboard problems after upgrade to Windows 8 Pro

    Model 610-1280qd

    After the update, I found that my wireless HP came with the computer, keyboard no longer allows me to use the number keys and special characters above the letters. Device Manager displays 5 entries on the keyboard, including a PS2 Keyboard tab. Whats up with that? Move to the numeric keypad to enter numbers. If I need a special character, I must enter using the keyboard on the screen. Any suggestions? The other lists all have to do with a Microsoft IR keyboard. So, what is a Microsoft keyboard driver problem or a HP keyboard driver problem?

    Fixed! After going on the Microsoft IE10 Support Forum, I found that someone else reported the same problem. Xfinity (Comcast) has a program called constant guard that is part of their suite of security with Norton Security Suite. After you have uninstalled the constant guard, the character number and special keys knit IE10 Desktop. I've not had to uninstall Norton Security Suite.

  • All my USB ports are disabled; keyboard and mouse do not work, can not navigate to reactivate their?

    After installing Java rebooted my system update, while booting it showed Eroor message 'BootMGR' missing, disabled bymistake USB ports, now my keyboard & mouse not working does not help?

    Hi Abhi SR,

    ·        How do you disabled the USB ports?

    ·        What you did to fix the "BootMGR" error missing?

    If you have disabled the USB ports in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System), you will need to use a PS2 Keyboard and enter the BIOS for their re help.

    Note: Changing the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Windows Loader CV stuck keyboard does not respond

    Hello

    I'm completely stumped.  Windows randomly crashes after sleeping and it's Windows resume Loader but the keyboard or the mouse (and apparently all USB) is completely insensitive.  I tried the normal F8, pull on the plug returned to zero and nothing and all the standard stuff.  My computer is new and does not have a PS2 plug so I can't use a PS2 Keyboard to enter the BIOS.

    Someone at - it works all about where advice or I'm completely screwed?  BTW - the computer is entirely new, that I literally spend a few thousand about 3 months so I'm bummed to make it happen.  I feel like it's karma for not going with a Mac.

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hello

    Thanks for the tips.  In fact, I called Dell and it repairs it for free under warranty so I held all the corrections until the technology is out.

    They replaced the motherboard and the guy said that he had never seen this problem.  I used an apple with the Dell computer keyboard, but we both don't think that was the issue.  In fact, it was a stroke of luck, but the replacement of the motherboard worked.

    Thanks for your help and I hope this helps someone in the future.

  • Keyboard USB not detected

    My old PS2 Keyboard was fine, but whatever I do my computer does not detect my new Microsoft USB keyboard at startup. I get the error message "keyboard error or no keyboard present".

    I currently have two keyboards on the go, one to start the computer and the other to type with. It's stupid.

    Any help would be welcome, even if I don't know I missed the obvious solution.

    Alan

    -If I understand correctly - your problem is that, until Windows starts, your USB keyboard is not detected?  After that it starts - it is, and it allows you to type?

    If the answer is Yes - your problem may be a simple BIOS setting (nothing to do with Windows) or a lack of support for USB devices at startup.  Can't tell without knowing more about the computer (brand/model of the system as a whole or the motherboard - depends on whether it is a third level machine (Dell, IBM, HP, etc.) or a system of fragmentary, put in place by you or a friend/etc.)
