Mouse is MS wireless with fresh batteries, keyboard is MS Natural 4000 ergo, essentially brand new. Lemme know what more information is needed. Thanks, R.

The reason I say this is that my wife’s mouse and keyboard would periodically stop working but when I put mine on her system everything was fine. Both the mouse and keyboard went bad at the same time. Weird but true! My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

I haven't opened up the case, but I did try using different USB ports. Seems that the dedicated mouse and keyboard ports have both gone bad, or lost power, or something. Buying a hub would be cheaper than putting it in the shop, but I'd still like the thing to work like it's supposed to. What could make two ports on the mainboard fail while others continue to work?

Check that and see if it worked loose. Edit: I just realized from your description that they are probably the ones in back that are hard wired. Last edited by KeithS; 05/14/13 10:22 AM.

If the USB ports are in the back, which typically means that they are soldered directly to the mobo, you likely have other problems. But you should still go inside and try reseating all the power connectors that go to the motherboard before calling it a nogo. **Check the System Hardware applet in Control Panel, look at the USB stuff in the list, check for no exclamation points there, try updating the drivers for the USB to replace a possibly corrupted driver. Reboot the machine and check operation. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com
