Is this true about PS2 devices?

I just got a new computer. I don't know a lot about hardware, etc.
The Mainboard I got is an MSI K8N Neo4 S 939
My PS2 devices are not working and the guy who sold me the computer told me that by unplugging the mouse and keyboard while the system was running, I may have shorted out the board.
Is this true?

It is possible that you shorted the keyboard controller, generally you can hot swap keyboard and mouse but some MB like the NEO versions are very sensitive to 
I take it by your post that none of your PS2 ports are working, if this is the case then I would guess that the PS2 controller on the MB is shot.
So... if I have indeed shot my PS2 controller on the MB, what can be done? Is this repairable? Do you think it could potentially cause other problems for me? I am using USB devices now but am concerned about future problems due to this happening.
Also, do you think this should be covered under the 1 year warranty the shop gave me?
Thanks,
Charles

  • Is this true about iPhone vibrate feature?

    If you really mean compulsively flipping the switch, all hardware switches have a finite lifetime designed for rational use and you may eventually break it.

  • Is this true about Trade Ins?

    I called my local Best Buy and the rep told me that the trade in phone had to be originally purchased at Best Buy?  Does anyone know if this is true?

    Hello BRIVAEH226-
    There are city, county and state regulations that do control what we can take as a trade-in.  In some situations, we are required by those regulations to only take trade-ins that can be validated as purchased in a Best Buy store by the customer producing a Best Buy receipt.
    This is why all of our trade-in promotions as well as our Limitations and Restrictions of our trade-in program here call out that some stores may have additional limitations that prevent a trade-in.  Your local store should be able to provide you with more information around any particular regulations that they have to follow.

  • Is this true about installation disks??

    Is it true that certian OS cd's can only be loaded onto certain Mac's? Ex. Like a installation disk from a emac wont work on a powermac? What do the codes on the disks mean when it says "disk 1" and "disk 2" etc? I aquired a 2002 powermac G4 quicksilver and need to reinstall but dont have the disks. How will I be able to tell which installation disks to buy If i'm looking to install Tiger??
    -Thanks for your help

    funylinks2004, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but is still available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A and M9639Z/A . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray).

  • Is this true about jsp:usebean?

    Hi, let me explain this.....i have a Jsp, a business class and a business entity (Country)
    Let's say that the business class connects to a database and retrieve some information (List of Countries with all their attributes)...so the business class instanciates a business entity (Country) with the variable "entityCountry" and encapsulates the information retrieved in the "entityCountry". Then in my JSP i want to display a list of countries....so i use
    <jsp:usebean id="entityCountry" scope="session" class="Country"/>This catches the object, the business class previously instanciated, with all the information it was retrieved from the database? it doesn't create another object with null attributes? is it the same??

    As described [url http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/syntax/1.2/syntaxref1217.html#8865]here
    If the attribute is found in session scope, then it uses the value already created.
    If it is not found, then it instantiates a new instance.
    This code in a JSP
    <jsp:usebean id="entityCountry" scope="session" class="Country"/>
    translates to approximately this java code
    Country entityCountry = session.getAttribute("entityCountry");
    if (entityCountry == null) {
      entityCountry = new Country();
    }

  • I gave my granddaughter a mini.  She says she can only text message to other IOS devices.  Is this true?  If so, is there a work around app?

    I gave my granddaughter a mini as a gift.  She says she cannot text message to non Apple users.  Is this true?  If so, is there a work around app?

    With the imessage app that is pre installed on the device it only works with idevices. But there are many free apps for texting. For example text free is a great one.

    Unfortunately, redownloading of past music purchases isa still in beta test and only available in the US right now.
    It's due for everyone this fall.  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

    I read somewhere that even if a device is offline, find my iphone can give you a last known location.  Is this true and how do I access that?

    Your iPhones's last known location will be available for a day. After 24 hours you will no longer be able to see this last known location if the device is offline or otherwise unable to connect to Find My iPhone to provide an updated location.

  • I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

    I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

    As usual those "news" reports mangled the facts and got most of the story completely wrong. This particular attack did not arise through a Java update, it was distributed through a fraudulent Flash download popup window, or malicious websites that Safari is designed to block.
    If you run Java on your Mac you may be vulnerable to this malware. If you do not run Java there is no risk. If you routinely keep your Mac up to date with Software Update the risk is greatly reduced.
    Shut off the mass market junk that masquerades as "news" and read this to learn some real facts:

  • I have a BT internet pop account and have been told this cannot sync across devices with iCloud. Is this true?

    I have a BT internet pop account and have been told this cannot sync across devices using icloud. Is this true and are there ways round it?

    That's correct. iCloud handles only its own email, and has no relationship with other accounts. It's in the nature of a POP service that messages are downloaded from the server to the machine - it was really designed for single-computer use in the days when a second computer was an unheard-of luxury. You can usually set the email client to leave message on the server either permanently or for a specified period, so that other devices can also access the messages, but of course they won't see replies or sent messages.
    IMAP (which is what iCloud uses) is the better protocol to use - the messages live on the server and the various computers and devices read them from there, like webmail - and a service which provides that will behave in exactly the same way as iCloud but independently of it. You should ask BT if they can provide an IMAP version of the account - some ISPs provide both, some don't.

    Were you running iOS 7 beta?  If so, as a developer you need to log into the Developer forum for assistance.

  • "Deleted items: Synchroniz​e deleted items between this mailbox and my device?" questions

    When I log into the BIS site for Sprint, it gives me the option at the bottom that says
    "Deleted items: Synchronize deleted items between this mailbox and my device." at the very bottom
    What does this really mean? I am confused because when you delete an email off the blackberry, it gives you 3 options, delete from "mailbox & handheld," "handheld," and "cancel".
    So, if I have the "Deleted items: Synchronize deleted items between this mailbox and my device." clicked...does that mean when I just choose delete from "handheld" only, it will STILL delete the email from my actual "mailbox" too?
    I don't want it to delete the email from my "mailbox" if I choose to delete from "handheld" only on my blackberry
    Does anyone know more about this?
    Thanks guys

    in my opinion :
    if you choose to delete on device only, it will never delete on your server.
    but best is you to try for one test message and you'll know for sure. And tell us.

  • How do I monitor my child's history.  He claims it was deleted with the recent new update from Apple.  Is this true?

    How do I monitor my child's history on the iPad?  He claims the history became deleted with the new Apple update.  Is this true?

    However, after the update on 4 devices in my home, not one of them lost their website history.  Not one device, so it would not be a common issue for the update to delete ones internet history.  So to the OP.......I would be a bit skeptical about your son's claim the update removed his internet browsing history.

    Hmm. The problem still may be the RAM - Apple buys the RAM it puts in its machines from third-party vendors (usually Hynix) so it could be a RAM problem.
    There are a couple of things that you can do yourself before taking your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP... download and run an application named Rember that will run a RAM test for you - let it run for a couple of hours or even overnight. If it turns out that your RAM is faulty, Rember will let you know. If it is faulty, then you have a couple of options - replace the RAM yourself or (particularly if you're under warranty still) take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP and have them replace the RAM.
    If Rember finds no fault with the RAM, then you'll need to take it into an Apple Store/AASP and get a free diagnosis on the machine. Three beeps do usually indicate faulty RAM, but if it tests good with Rember you likely have another problem - it could be something as simple as the RAM, somehow, not seated correctly or signs of another hardware problem.
    Run Rember first... call back with results.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
