Clamshell mode and mouse not working on external monitor

Suddenly I notice that when I put my MBP (late model 2008, Lion) in clamshell mode, my blue tooth mouse and wireless keyboard become unresponsive
I think the MBP has frozen but its only that the mouse and keyboard do not respond.
I have to open the MBP in order for the mouse to work so I can work using the externa (Apple 24" monitor).
This just started happening.
Has anyone experienced this?
Just started happening as of yesterday March 19. I cannot think of anything new I downloaded. Rebooting did not seem to help.

    How and why did you install that?  What steps did you take in that process.  I can then help with some steps to undo them.

    both keyboard and mouse not working. I have changed batteries and checked drivers  please help..  thank you

    Thanks for the information, that is exactly what I needed.
    If you are having the enter issue when using the wired KB from your old computer that sounds software related with the blog site.
    What web browser do you use when on that website?
    Connect your wireless equipment back and if you continue to have the issue with the letters repeating then you should inquire about a replacement for what is referred to as "sticky keys".  With it being a new unit this shouldn't be an issue.
    Let me know if you have other questions.

  • Ultraslim wireless keyboard and mouse not working

    Hi ,  I purchased the Lenovo Ultraslim Wireless Keyboard & Mouse (pn: 57Y4700) about 4 months ago for use with my T60 laptop (which i use with a docking station and large lenovo monitor at work).
    Everything was woking fine until last Monday when I can into work after the weekend and neither the mouse or keyboard worked. I replaced the batteries in both, rebooted the machine several time, switch the USB ports for the nano receiver, but nothing seems to have worked.
    I looked online for troubleshooting options, but did not find anything.
    The mouse and keyboard don't seem to have a "sych" button - if I recall correctly everything worked right out of the box.
    My theory is that the nano reciever was damaged (not sure how) -- but don't know how to proceed:
    can the nano reciever be replaced;
    any other options to troubleshoot;
    any chance that this could be a software problem
    Thanks

    Hi coffee12345,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I have read your post on your wireless keyboard and mouse not working with your desktop, and I would be happy to help you! To begin, I need to ask you a few introductory questions:
    What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop?
    What version of Windows are you using?
    Is this a recent issue, or has it been like this since day one?
    Are you using a USB hub to connect your peripherals or is it directly plugged into the computer?
    Please re-post with the necessary information, and I look forward to your reply!

    How about telling us how your keyboard & mouse are not working?  Are both using batteries or are they wired?  If batteries, have you checked and/or changed them?  Keyboard & mouse Apple's or 3rd party?  If you are still under warranty and/or have AC, call them & let Apple deal w/your problems.
    If possible, try another keyboard & mouse? 
    Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting?   Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.

  • I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas?

    I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas? I can hear the PC beep when plugging it in! I suspect a bad battery and trying to charge it ina wall charger made it hot!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.

  • Not Start up, Key board and Mouse not WORKING

    I have Pavilion G7-2017us Notebook and it has Windows 7 operation system. Symptom: Start the computer, go through to the windowns log-in page, but Keyboard and mouse are frozen, not WORKING. Can't log in. 
    force Poweroff computer and use ESC, F9 can go to system diagnose page, keyboard and mouse are WORKING now. Tried "Start-up test",
    Processor Check,Memory Test, Hard Disk SMART Check are Passed. Only Hard Disk Short DST is failed. Failure ID : GLMP00-69B7NV-MFPX1G-60SJ03
    So Start-up test is FAILED. Tried "System Tune-up", Processor Check,Hard Disk SMART Check are Passed. Only Hard Disk Short DST is failed.
    Failure ID : GLMP00-69B7NV-MFPX1G-60SJ03.So System Tune-up Is FAILED. Tried "Hard Disk Test", Hard Disk SMART Check is Passed and Only Hard Disk Short DST is failed.Failure ID : GLMP00-69B7NV-MFPX1G-60SJ03.
    So Hard Disk Test Is FAILED. When I performed above test, keyboard and mouse were WORKING properly. Tried Safe mode, but can not log-in because keyboard and mouse are not working at that time. I cared about documents and was able to copy some files to external harddisk under DOS command interface. But right now I can not adjust
    this laptop back to normal DOS from safe mode log-in. When I started up it. it goes through to log-in page in Safe mode. Also F11 is not
    working because I did not make system recovery point and it can not be recoveried. Please help me for this issue. Thank you very much.

    Thank you, Visruth.    When you said the failure ID indicates failling or failed HDD, do you mean that the old HDD is bad and probably all the data on it will be lost ?    Yes, in order to salvage data from the old HDD,  I have tried to buy an external enclosure and take that harddrive out to make an external hard drive. Connect it through USB , but the new laptop can not recognize it and I can see this external hard drive shown in the device manager, but I can not see more detailed information of that drive. Click it and it asks that do you want to format that drive?      So I would like to salvage data from the old HDD. I have been able to enter into DOS command in the old laptop and copied all data on my desktop in C drive. But right now I have forced this old laptop to run into safe mode, which I think maybe I have a chance. But keyboard and mouse are still frozen at log-in page. I do not know how to get back to DOS command as I did before. If I can go back to DOS command, I may use DOS Xcopy to copy out all my data in the old HDD to new external drive. Would you please show me how to get back to DOS command from safe mode log in? I have tried F8, F9. no success.   Another way I am thinking is that to take the old HDD as an external drive, connect to a new laptop, change that new laptop's start up sequence, put the USB external drive start up as the first choice. I really do not know why my keyboard and mouse in the old laoptop do not work at some time (log-in page). Please let me know your advice. Thank you very much. 

  • Touchpad and Keyboard not working (including external devices)

    Hi,
    I am using an rmbp with win7 and macosx.
    Win7 on my bootcamp partition was working perfectly(4 months+) until now .I restarted my system  and realized that the touchpad and keyboard are not working(inluding external mice/keyboard).I can boot into Macosx and the mouse and keyboard are working perfectly so its not a hardware problem.I havent set any restore points and have tried all the other recovery options (using f8 before booting) but to no avail
    I have read some other solutions which involved opening the device manager but I cannot press anything when I login to windows.Does anybody have any idea except reinstalling windows? I would really appreciate any help !
    Cheers

    I have even loaded my Bootcamp partition in parallels ,in hopes of repairing the installation from there but Parallels give an error about mouse coherence and I cannot use my keyboard and mouse there .
    Does anyone have any other idea except reinstalling windows ? .Thanks !

  • Keyboard and mouse not working correctly after installing Windows 8.1

    I was forced to upgrade my computer to Windows 8.1. My keyboard worked fine until the sytem did a reboot. Numbers on keypad stopped typing and letters were being capitalized when the caps lock was off and the numbers across the top will only type the symbol above the numbers. 
    I looked up this problem and it seems I need to enter UEFI settings and disable Intel XHCI mode. When I get into the UEFI settings I cannot make any selection from the startup menu. Both my keyboard and mouse stop working. 
    Any suggestions?

  • HP notebook keyboard and mouse not working

    Hi
    I spilled tea on my notebook. Now the system boots but keyboard & mouse do not work. Therefore I am not able to
    login at the windows screen. When I hardboot, on pressing esc it goes to boot menu, but then the keyboard stops working
    so I cannot go to safe mode or recovery mode. I also tried pressing F11 to enter BIOS, but it does not work.
    I can however access it via LAN and since I had shared the C drive, I was able to recover the data. Do you have any idea
    how I can restore the system now ? I do not have the recovery disks.
    Are there any particular function keys to press while booting ?
    Thanks a lot for your help

    Thoughts on a Soggy System:
    Have you tried the obvious -- connecting an external keyboard and mouse?  If you are not near a store where you can buy these, you can order them online as a set.  Almost anything would do and Windows 7 and 8 install basic drivers for most keyboards and mice without problems when the system comes online.
    If you have not waited for several days for things to REALLY dry out before attempting to get back onto the system, then you may get away with this yet - if you WAIT for a few days.  Chances are not great, but ... ?
    If you can get the system to a repair shop, it is not terribly expensive to have the keyboard / touchpad replaced -- assuming that is all that is wrong with the system -- and the repair is not a lengthy process.  This might be something you can do yourself if you are skilled, disparate, in a tiny spot on the planet somewhere (without a repair shop), or like these things...
    We can check for part numbers and all of that if you are interested.  You can search for for yourself, too.
    Start at
    Support and Drivers
    Enter your information -- Look along the colum and Click on Manuals.  You are looking for the Maintenance Manual.
    If you do not find it, provide your Exact Product number and I will look for you.
    Locate the Notebook Product Number
    I am pretty sure you are going to have to have some sort of keyboard control over that system to do more than just use the hard drive to do a hard recovery of the data.  You are not at that point until you determine that you cannot access the data through the computer itseslf...
    You can always send the system to HP and have it repaired.  It is not free unless you have the warranty for it - but it is not horrible to do;  HP makes the process pretty easy.  It might be worth checking if you do not have a local option available!
