stylemessiah Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Whats a PS/2 port? :P :PIt would be highly unusual i would think to have to enable a PS/2 port in BIOS. Having said that, i would check your MB manual in case there is some sort of weird "legacy" BIOS setting.I would check it for you, but i cant blow the 16mb on the download (on wireless broadband in the country here, not cheap):http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4393#manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a 4 Year Old USB to PS/2 and it works but the problem is sometimes it gets a little messed up so I have to use the PS/2 because I just checked my local store and they aren't gonna be having those adapters in 2 Months.

dcs18 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Just check whether the pins on both sides (female and male, as well) are not bent.Check also whether the PS/2 port is showing under Device Manager after your PS/2 keyboard/mouse is attached to the port.Check out the following link on how to enable the PS/2 function at BIOS level:-http://www.ehow.com/how_7267883_enable-ps2-usb-bios.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonza Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I've experienced several cases where disconnecting the PC from the mains for a minute or two fixes PS/2 problems. The time is to ensure that all charges have leaked away inside the PC. I believe that under some circumstances integrated circuit substrates can latch into a SCR (silicon controlled rectifier) like state. Removing the juice unlatches that state.

Administrator DKT27 Posted May 15, 2013 Administrator Share Posted May 15, 2013 Well, I've seen many people bashing this port in past. It's not good enough, one said, it's buggy said another, who needs PS/2 when we have USB 3.0, said yet another one. :PNot sure if I'm helping, but when I was new to PCs, I mistakenly inserted the mouse into the keyboard port and keyboard into the mouse port (inspite of knowing what's the right way). :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonza Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I find that the USB mouse/keyboard support at or near boot time is all too often terrible. I have several boot discs where the USB mouse and/or keyboard won't work, or work poorly. I've even had machines where you can't select e.g. Safe Mode on the F8 screen.With Acronis Disk Director, I have to tap F11 and type, somewhat perversely, "quiet usbmouse=off", into a text field, otherwise the pointer moves vertically but not horizontally.I just hope that when I get my first non-USB compatible motherboard, that I don't have such problems.

davmil Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Also look on the MBoard side where the ports soldered onto the MBoard side. Wiggle the port gently - if it's loose at all, you're in trouble and'll need either the service center or, probably cheaper, a new board. Try several keyboards too.
