High XP desktop keyboard, lights up but not be connected or exploit - all solutions

Keys may be depressed, but will not register on the monitor.  In addition, does not appear on the list of legacy.  Tried to download a keyboard driver

miscrosoft, but has no effect. My Dell XP is probably 5 years old, and I bought their best keyboard in time.

Hi WGBrose,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. What is the number and the model of the keyboard?
  3. When was the last time it was working fine?
  4. What happens when you connect the keyboard to the computer?
  5. You are able to access the other USB devices on the computer?

I suggest that you test the keyboard on another computer and check if it works.

If the keyboard works on another computer, then I suggest that you remove and reinstall all USB controllers, for more information, see the article and check if it helps.

    Sorry for my bad English too.

    The video chip can be "reballed" which means that all connections on the motherboard are restored with the heat to melt the solder. Which is the setting of your motherboard, not replace. No other that these options has nothing that will revive.

  • m8400f clicks, the light flashes but not dΘmarre

    I own a hpm8400f upgraded to windows 7

    A few months ago, I also upgraded the graphics card to a radeon hd 5770 and I upgraded my ram, swapped two slots out of 512 GB at 2 locations gig for a total of 6 GB of ram

    A few days ago, I have improved the power supply of the 300 watts to 500 watts.  I had a tech guy install the power supply, and so far, I had been doing a few BSOD I assumed came from my being low power graphics card.  The pc repair guy said that my BSOD came from my RAM being incompatible, so he took my old, original, ram to leave me with 4 GB of ram to my most recent, most recent.  I need to ask more in depth about why my RAM was inconsistent, because they were the two ddr2 6400 and they both were in couples - but this isn't the issue, I'll have for the moment in any case.

    My current problem:

    Just earlier today, I swapped my newest ram for my old ram.  I was hoping to get better performance from my pc using my original ram because I suspected that my FSB: DRAM ratio was better with the original ram installed.  IN ANY CASE:

    Just after I installed my original ram in my computer, my computer would not start up more.  The power turns on, and my computer click on periodically every second with a flash sync on the power button and the clear amber just below the power button.  It clicks and flashes 6 times about, paused for about 10 seconds, then click on and flashes the light in my house again.

    My computer must be detects the ram because when I delete all of the ram, the process is similar, except that the computer flashes, clicks per second, but it never stops, or pauses, then my computer very loudly will beep at me.  When I have my ram installed, the computer just click on and blinks 6 or so times, makes one pause, then clicks and flashes 6 times more, then never starts up.

    The power is to learn at least to my computer.  I have reinstalled the RAM, swapped the ram for all different combinations, and I ensured that my ram was paired correctly.  I also tried to start my computer with only 1 stick of RAM.  Same result.

    MY QUESTION IS:

    If it isn't ram, causing my computer to behave like that? I checked all the plugs into the motherboard and hard drives, all seems OK to be plugged.

    Sidenote: Before this particular incident that happened, my computer has often clicked and flashed just like that for 6 times or more, but would then start normally.  Now, of course, the computer click on and flashes 6 times, then take a break and then it just click and Flash and charge never really anything on the screen.  Also, I use my 40 inch sony bravia lcd tv as a monitor with my HDMI, if it makes a difference.

    Thank you!

    compenthusiast,

    Thanks for the links, they are a good reference.  I am running windows 7 64.  I think I've identified the problem with my computer: one of my RAM sticks is bad.  I threw because for some reason any my computer still does not work when I was using my new ram yesterdat, but now it does not work with my new ram.  I guess I could have improperly seated ram or something.  Now with this problem solved, I must move on to other problems with my computer.

    Thank you!

  • Weird problem with the file to the desktop, cannot be deleted, but not ro.

    Have this file of someone on a Yahoo Group, there was supposed to be a list of some articles of the hobby for sale. Do not remember how I downloaded it, e-mail, group, its Web site. Name is "the N - 2 Locomotives surplus" without extension.

    The file appears on my desktop. Properties indicate that it is of length zero. It cannot be deleted, renamed, moved, whatever it is. The error is still the same - file cannot read from the source file or disk. It's as if she's not here.

    I was even able to create a file with the same name on the desktop. It didn't crush it, it's right there next to each other. Norton doesn't pick up on it.

    I want to delete this guy, it makes me crazy. It seems to violate what I know about the files. What is c? How can I he kill?

  • Fall of USB Audio Out (High CPU) patch for windows 7, but not 8?

    There were school drop-outs when using and the Audio via USB device (and the peaks of CPU high school dropouts for a brief moment.) This takes place once, maybe twice within a minute. The equipment I use is a Traktor Kontrol s4, which has an integrated sound card. When I use my card in his laptop computer, there is no problem, but I'm unable to use many of the features of my material. I've seen a lot of post on this problem in the past and there was a fix for Windows 7...

  • Wireless signal recognized but not internet connectivity: laptop HP 2000, model QE334UA, Windows 7

    I have a 2000 Notebook PC HP, Model # QE334UA, running Windows 7.  The wireless signal is showing all the bars at the bottom right, but I am unable connect wireless to what anyone (for example, any web browser, Outlook, Dropbox).  When you connect via a LAN, however, I have no problem.  Here are some details on what I tried:

    1.) this same problem occurs on all the networks I tried, even if the other computers are on these networks, is not a problem of router/modem.  Yet, I restarted those and nothing helped.

    Rebooted 2.) the computer.

    3.) done a system restore.

    4.) checked IPV4 settings make sure IP & DNS server addresses are configured to automatically get.

    5.) turned on and off the wireless on the keyboard button.

    6.) as gone with the Device Manager and press update driver software for all network adapters.

    7.) deactivated and reactivated all NICs.

    I have read many other forums - than where I got these ideas- and it seems a common problem, but I could not find an answer that works.  I'm not too technically savvy, so maybe I'm missing something, but any help would be LARGELY APPRECIATED, especially because my warranty just expired.

    Thank you

    I have it!  It turns out that my SonicWall VPN has been the origin of the problem.  Thank you!

  • Turn off but not to connect to the Adobe servers

    I want to improve my OS on my desktop and need to disable PS CS4 before I format the drive, but when I try to disable the PS 'Unable to connect to the Adobe servers' answers which is strange, since I have internet connection and can surf here and write this in forums Adobe

    I also disabled the firewall but no change.

    How to solve this?

    Did the upgrade and re-installed PS and it worked fine

    Seems fair, you can go ahead and do not need to disable anything.

  • I'm upgrading Firefox 20.0 but not automatically connect to the server, just hangs. Why? 19.0.2 States that it is "free" update channels: what is it?

    Regularly alert is displayed to update me to 20.0 but it does not connect to the server - even if I have no problem with the modem at another time. It just hangs there. I thought that Firefox will update automatically. I have topped up, as advised but still 19.0.2. On the message States, I am currently on the channel "update of output". What does that mean? Do I need an update? Why?

    "update of output" means that you are using the stable version of Mozilla Firefox.

    Have you tried to reset firefox and then runs the update to verify that it contains that you are to the latest version?

  • Internet connection Windows 7 loses, but not network connection - suite.

    Does anyone have a solution for this? Everything I have discovered that restarts 3 first servises whose name starts:... network solves this temporary. This only happens on windows 7 64.

    According to what I have read this problem has been solved because I haven't lived it to buy the new laptop in May 2010 until about last month. So yesterday, I removed all updates of November 3, and it does not occur until now. It is too short to say that these updates are so lost cause http connectivity, but I'll post if it won't happen again. Right now, I disable windows update. If it works fine without them I won't try and change.

  • In windows 7, I can play CD but not dvd tried pretty much all previously listed

    AE simply not recognized DVD

    AE simply not recognized DVD

    Since your only previous assignment is something completely different - I assume you mean that you have read all the posts on these forums (thousands are likely) things like that and tried all the suggested.  However, I would ask differ.

    One common thing is that the laser that reads the DVD got out of alignment or otherwise that went wrong.  The only solution to this situation is to replace the defective hardware.

    This test is to locate or create a DVD bootable on another computer.  Test that is bootable (you can start at this DVD contrary to boot into the operating system on this other HDD) on the other computer.  Now - setting up your machine to boot from the DVD in the BIOS and try to boot from the DVD you watched just to start the other machine.  If it boots - could be a windows driver issue.  If it does not start - replace the defective hardware.
