Sir, Good afternoon, I have pr 1101 keyboard, by chance its wire has broken and the front socket of the ps-2 mouse is missing. now I want the specification about this socket, so that i can fix another wire to my keyboard. Its quality is very good, i don't want to change it. Basically I am computer software&hardware expert. Please send me solution. Thanks

Most PCs these days allow you to plug in and use both a keyboard and a mouse at the same time. To use the mouse, you just move it around; to use the keyboard, you just press the desired key. Unless you have a very unusual (e.g., homebuilt) PC, there's no "switch" to change from one input method to another. Look at the cords on both your mouse and the keyboard. If they both end in a small rectangular plug, then both use what is called "USB" to talk to the PC. Look for corresponding sockets on the PC (front and rear) and make sure both the keyboard and mouse are plugged in. If your keyboard does not have this style plug, it likely will have a round plug called a "PS/2." Look for a matching socket on the PC and make sure the cord is plugged in. Note the PS/2 plug has a flat side that must be lined up with the flat side on the socket.

1) first of all u needed to connect your power cable to the CPU at the top of back side socket

2) now insert the VGA cable into the VGA(BLUE Colour) port

3) now keyboard .>. if your keyboard is PS2 then you have to insert the point in purple colour socket which is upper side to the VGA port
(note: the box side should be face to left hand side)

4) now attach your mouse if it is USB mouse then just insert any of the USB port simply plug and it will start working
if it is PS2 mouse then insert it right besides to the keyboard PS2 port same as u insert the keyboard wire.

PS/2 compatible mouse drivers are generic drivers already install when the Operating System to your PC. You don't need any extra PS/2 drivers!! "

Check your mousePS/2 pins & PS/2 socket -> Pins..Dented..Broken?
Mouse could be faulty. Try replacing another PS/2 mouse to your PC.

If the PS/2 socket is faulty, you can use a USB mouse too.

Hope it helps.

A lot depends on where the keyboard and mouse are plugged in. I have seen in the past that the USB in the back works better than the front. Are these the original keyboard and mouse? If not, use the original until after Windows loads the desktop.

When you say "traditional mouse and keyboard ports" i assume that you mean the green and purple PS/2 ports. If I am correct in my assumption then this is what you can do. You can buy PS/2 to USB converter for your mouse and keyboard. A simple google search should yield you plenty of shopping results. Just make sure that you buy PS/2 to USB converters, not USB to PS/2 converters or you'll probably get the wrong thing. Everything else should just be plug-n-play from there on out. Hope this helps.

CHECK BIOS TO MAKE SURE IT DID NOT TURN ITSELF OFF WHEN YOU PLUGGED IT INTO THE USB.BIOS MAY HAVE TURNED IT OFF TO PREVENT A CONFLICT.RICHARDM69

you can replace, just get a usb cable that is equivalent. alot of times you can find a usb extension at a dollar store, eg deals, big lots etc. just use it

If what you want is to connect a ps/2 mouse/keyboard, then try a USB port type mouse/keyboard.

... Well, first things first, are your keyboard and mouse USB or PS/2? Chances are if it's a really old computer it doesn't have any USB ports. You would then need either 2 USB to PS/2 adapter (typically small green and purple adapters) or PS/2 keyboard and mouse.

Hope this helps!

wireless keyboards and in wireless mouse devices, use the following methods in the order that they appear in.

Method 1: Try different ports loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation'); Warning If you have to change a PS/2 connection, shut off the computer, make the changes, and then restart the computer. Do not plug a PS/2 device in the PS/2 port while the computer is running.

To determine whether the problem is related to the ports on the computer, use only the two cables that are included with the wireless desktop receiver, or the single cable that is included with a mouse.
USB keyboard and USB mouse loadTOCNode(3, 'moreinformation'); If the USB cable is currently connected to a USB hub, disconnect the device from the hub, and then connect it to a USB port on the computer. If your device is already connected to a USB port on the computer, try to connect the device to a different USB port if one is available.

Note Only one USB connection to the computer is required, even if your device has two USB plugs. If the problem persists, disconnect other USB devices and connect only the USB plug from the receiver to a USB port on the computer.
PS/2 devices loadTOCNode(3, 'moreinformation'); If your devices are connected to PS/2 ports on the computer, verify that you have the following configurations: • Verify that the USB plug for your mouse is connected to the green USB-to-PS/2 adapter and that this adapter is plugged in the mouse PS/2 port on the computer. The mouse PS/2 port on the computer may also be green. If you are not sure which PS/2 port is the mouse PS/2 port, see the documentation that came with the computer. • Verify that the USB plug for the keyboard is connected to the purple USB-to-PS/2 adapter and that this adapter is plugged in the keyboard PS/2 port on the computer. The keyboard PS/2 port on the computer may also be purple. If you are not sure which PS/2 port is the keyboard PS/2 port, see the documentation that came with the computer.If you have to change your configuration, shut off the computer, make the changes, and then restart the computer. If your mouse or keyboard has both USB and PS/2 connections, try using the other connection.
PS/2 keyboard and USB mouse loadTOCNode(3, 'moreinformation'); Verify that the USB mouse is plugged in a USB port on the computer and that the purple keyboard PS/2 plug is connected to the purple PS/2 port on the computer. If you have to change the PS/2 connection, shut off the computer, make the changes, and then restart the computer.

Method 2: Install fresh batteries loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation'); Both the wireless keyboard and the wireless mouse rely on AA alkaline batteries for power. If the problem persists, install a fresh set of batteries in the device that you are experiencing problems with.

Method 3: Resynchronize your device to the receiver loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation'); To resynchronize the mouse or keyboard to the receiver, follow these steps.

Note When you synchronize the mouse or the keyboard with the receiver, put the device near the receiver and put other wireless keyboards and mouse more than six feet away. 1. Press the button on the receiver, and then verify that the light on the receiver starts to blink. 2. If a dialog box appears on the screen in several seconds, follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Otherwise, go to the next step. 3. Press and release the Connect Channel button on the bottom of your mouse or keyboard. 4. Check the green light on the receiver. A steady green light means the synchronization was successful. If the problem persists, try steps 1 through 4 again.

Clean the mouse lens loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation'); This problem may occur if you are using an optical or laser mouse and the lens on the mouse is dirty. To clean the lens of an optical or laser mouse, follow these steps: 1. Use a dry cloth to clean the bottom surface of the mouse. 2. Check to see whether the mouse functions correctly. 3. If you see dust on the bottom of the mouse, use a can of pressurized de-ionized air to blow away the dust on the lens. 4. Check to see whether the mouse functions correctly. 5. If the pressurized air canister is not available, blow dry air on the lenses by using your mouth one or two times. 6. Check to see whether the mouse functions correctly. 7. If these steps do not resolve the problem, use a cotton bud to clean the lens without scratching it.
