MSR206 When I click write card the yellow light turns on but then turns off a second later

This answer relates to keyboard hardware issue only.

On powering on PC look for keyboard lights flashing.
If no flash. Power down. Remove/replace kbd plug.
If still no flash of lights then please read on.

If kbd is old ps/2 type. Which is small round, sometimes purple, plug.
Ensure its not in not in the similar mouse socket.
Check for bent pin in plug.
ps/2 sockets can fail (as can keyboards)
If no joy and no other ps/2 keyboard works, consider replacing with usb type.

If kbd is usb type, do power off/on look for lights flashing.
If no flash of lights, try in different usb port.
Try replacing keyboard.

Hope this helps.

Things I see here.
1) The second Keyboard you plugged wasn't any good either.

2) The PS/2 port for your keyboard on your motherboard, isn't any good anymore.
Computer off, plug it into the Mouse PS/2 port, and use a USB mouse.
BIOS will reset the I/O address for that PS/2 port, and set it for the Keyboard, when the computer is turned back on.

You may have to;
A) Turn the computer off
B) Unplug from power.

C) Press the Power On button in, and hold it in for a count of 10 seconds. Let go of the Power On button. Do this same procedure two more times.

What you are doing is draining residual power, clearing CMOS Error Codes, and resetting BIOS back to the factory default settings.

Keyboard plugged in, USB mouse plugged in, plug the computer back into power. WAIT 1 minute, turn the computer on.

Still no?
Motherboard replacement.

You didn't unplug the old Keyboard, WITH the computer on, and plug the new Keyboard in, did you? It isn't a hot-swap device. The computer must be off when unplugging a mouse, or keyboard.

For additional questions please post in a Comment.

OK! Lets troubleshoot this together.

First thing we want to do is verify that your keyboard & mouse and plugged into the correct places and are powered up and able to work.

Turn your computer on and look at your keyboard and tell me if any lights are on to show that it has power and is operational.

Watch the keyboard lights until the computer gets to the login page and tell me if the lights come on and stay on? Or do the lights turn on for a moment and then turn off again?

If you do not see any lights, please clarify if there are NO LIGHTS on your style of keyboard or if there are lights but they are not lighting up.

If your keyboard has lights and they are not lighting up at all, then turn off the computer and unplug the mouse and keyboard and swap them around. Then turn the computer on again and tell me if the lights come on and the mouse and keyboard become operational.

Once we verify this we can continue to the next step of troubleshooting. Please report what you find and I will help you solve this.

thats the ylod, need a motherboard reflow and then add new thermal paste.

Do you have a PS/2 or USB keyboard? If it is a PS/2 keyboard (with a round 6 pin connector), you will need a PS/2 to USB converter. Plug the round end onto the keyboard wire and the USB end into either one of the side USB ports (next to the audio jacks and memory card reader) or one of the back USB ports )next to the DVI port). If you have a USB keyboard, plug into any available USB port. (You could also use a USB hub.) Make sure that you have the ports live (not turned off for security or power-savings).

I hope this helps.

1. Install software 2. Install driver if required (usb) 3. Reset computer 4. connect msr206 to computer 5. open software for msr206 6. choose the hico or loco setting 7. input the data 8. press writer / read 9. swipe the magnetic card

PS/2 keyboard and mouse need to be turned on before you start your computer, because if you turn it on later, your machine wont recognize it.
is it possible that this is the problem

Try the mouse in a computer where the USB ports *DO* work.

It is possible that your system does not have the correct "device-drivers" for the USB ports. Thus, those USB ports seem to be "dead".

Turn the computer off.
Connect a PS/2 keyboard and a PS/2 mouse.
Turn the computer on.
Click START
Click Control Panel
Click System
Click Hardware
Click Device Manager
Expand the "USB ports" section of the tree.
Look for "yellow" or "red" marks.
Double-click one of those "problem" devices.
Choose "Reinstall Driver".
If it asks to be able to connect to the Internet, click "yes, this time".
Hopefully, this will install the correct drivers for your USB ports.

The usb adapter may be for a mouse. Allthough they look the same they are not. Their should be an image of a keyboard on the adapter.

Also Check again. A normal MSR206 takes 24v 1Amp. Your Usb cannot put out more then 6 Volts.
I'd question the writer.

Hope this helps some.
