Keyboard/Mouse
Disconnect Error :
The basic
input devices are very important to work efficiently on a Windows environment
and user is totally dependant on Keyboard and Mouse input devices.I faced some
problems with these input devices and I have a solution as well on these
issues. I would like to mention these generally occurring issues in the
following resource.
The cables of keyboard and mouse might be severely twisted and damaged:
In this way the solution to above first error
is that you can check your input device by connecting it to
another workstation. Else you have to open the keyboard or mouse and check each
terminals using multimeter. On multimeter you just have to check the continuity
of each wire and pin terminals if they are working fine. Here it there is
continuity, then Multimeter device will generate a continuous beep sound
showing that the wire connection that you are checking is working fine. And if
it generates no sound then it will not generate the beep sound. It means that
your keyboard/mouse wire is internally damaged and it has to be replaced.
The ports of keyboard and mouse present on motherboard might be damaged :
In this way if you are sure that your Keyboard/Mouse are working fine while
connected to other workstation, Laptop or PC then you will have to check the
ports of Keyboard/Mouse present on the motherboard. If there is no any fault in
those Keyboard/Mouse ports then the newly connected Keyboard/Mouse devices
should work fine. But remember to restart the PC every time you connect new
Keyboard/Mouse devices otherwise the system will not detect the input devices.
Hence, if the Keyboard/Mouse port on motherboard is faulty then you can get
them replaced from any computer repair shop.
If possible find a friend who has done Graduation in Electronics and is expert in soldering electronic components. The port is priced at maximum Rs. 100 and if your go to a private computer repair shop then those technicians will ask you around Rs. 300 to Rs. 500 to replace the faulty port.
The pins of keyboard and mouse might be broken or bend due to improper handling :
If the connection pin is broken then you can
replace it with new pin and it is also a delicate job to connect new pin
because you will have to cut that wire and connect it to the proper terminals.
So it will be better to purchase a new Keyboard/Mouse. If the pins are broken
then you will have to carefully straighten them so that they don't break down.
The wire connection inside of Keyboard/Mouse might be broken :
The wire connections inside of Keyboard/Mouse might be broken. To check this
you will have to open the Keyboard/Mouse and just pull a little bit to each of
those tiny wires. May be, some of the wire needs to reconnect so as to make a
good contact. If you find some wires broken then place them properly at
respective positions. In case you don't know where to connect which wire then just
get another Keyboard/Mouse and do the connections as per the working
Keyboard/Mouse.
