Mouse stops working after BIOS flash???

I have a K7n2-L mobo and I updated my bios to ver 3.3 from the stock ver. Now when I play games the desktop pointer or hour glass will show up in the game. Also when Im playing Unrealtournament 2003 the mouse will stop functioning for a short time. I have upgraded all my drivers for everything and the bios. In DeusEX I just get the hour glass like something is trying to run but nothing is except the game. It doesnt start out that way in the game it just shows up after a while. In UT2003 I get the pointer after a while. Everything runs great on all other apps it just messes up in the games. BTW I updated all game patches and I even tried running them without the patches to see if it was a patch it wasnt. It never did this befor I flashed the bios. I know you prolly thinking "Then why did you flash them in the first place" well I just thought it would help fix a few problems like the not having a beep at boot. I shouldnt of done it so ok. How can I reflash back to the original bios. No I dont have a start up disk. Im on win 2000 pro and tried to do it like it suggested in the faq with a win 98 disk but it didnt work. So I hope someone can please help. and thanks. BTW my system spec's are. AMD Athalon XP2800+ with Barton core... 640KB total on die cache
MSI K7N2 nForce2 mobo
Matched pair...XMS Corsair TWINX 512-2700 DDR ram Dual chan config with heat spreders.
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
SB Audigy gamer
Twin IBM 40 gig ata 133 7200 rpm hdd's
400 watt ps
Zalman 6500 cpu cooling
Zalman VGA heatsink pipe combo
Windows 2000 Pro sp 3

Use the Live Update option.......then let it find the latest bios file......run the exe file and let it build your floppy boot...But do not boot to it yet...........After the floppy is made open it up and you will see a file named AWDBOOT.ROM file should be abt256k......remember this file.........Now exit and browse the the MSI site of your choice and look for the bios of you choice......3.1/3.2/ etc.....download the file.......Open the file and save it contents to a folder to remember.......Inside........the file you will see something like w6570nms.320(example).......now rename the file to AWDBOOT.ROM........now copy or move this file to the floppy you made earlier..........It will say the file already exists......do you want to replace it and say yes....bla bla.......Now restart the machine with first boot as floppy bla bla.....Hope this helps

  • USB stops working after BIOS flash to ABCN74WW on new Z70-80

    Hi,
    I started with Windows 7 installation on my brand new Z70-80 which worked fine, USB 2.0 ports had been working.
    After flash of BIOS to ABCN74WW USB ports are not working any longer. I already tried soft BIOS reset by unplugging power and battery and pressing the power button for 20 seconds. USB ports are still unaccessible after this, a USB stick flashes for a moment, mouse LED is on, but no laser and no operation at all. Same when I start brand new windows installation.
    Are there known issues with this BIOS version ? Can I undo the BIOS flash ?
    Kind Regards
    Solved!

  • REFInd stopped working after BIOS flash

    So I have successfully installed Windows 8 on my SSD while having Arch linux installed on my other internal hard drive. I have been using rEFInd as the boot loader and it was working great until today when i flashed my BIOS to a custom version so I could overclock my GPU. Now when it boots it goes straight into Windows 8 and not to rEFInd. I have no idea why. I know I have flashed the BIOS so i had to reenter the settings I had before such as:
    SATA Operations = AHCI
    Disabled Secure Boot
    Disabled Fast Windows 8 Boot
    Enabled UEFI and Disabled Legacy
    Disabled Legacy ROM support
    These are the same settings I was using before. Please help. I'm sure my Arch install is still there and in tact, i just think my BIOS/UEFI isn't recognizing that rEFInd is installed.

    I think the BIOS update has cleared the nvram. Just boot with your Archiso in UEFI mode, mount your partitions and arch-chroot into the Arch on your harddrive. Then use efibootmgr to check and write a new entry to the nvram.
    I mean something like this:
    # efibootmgr -c -g -d /dev/sdX -p Y -w -L "rEFInd" -l '\EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi'
    Where X and Y denote the drive and partition of the UEFISYS partition. For example, in /dev/sdc5, X is "c" and Y is "5".
    Thank you that fixed it. I didn't even think about using efibootmgr dur dur dur

  • Bluetooth Mouse stops working after software updates

    Hello,
    I've been using a Bluetooth mouse with my X220 Tablet for several months now. After fiddling with device manager to ensure that the Thinkpad Bluetooth device does not have the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" setting set, things were working perfectly.
    However, after running through some windows & Lenovo updates, the mouse now seems to work for a while, but after any idle time, the mouse stops working. Turning the mouse off & back on seems to cause it to reconnect, and it works until the next time it goes idle for 2 minutes.
    I've gone through device manager, and made sure both the Bluetooth & USB Root devices are set not to power down (per http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Bluetooth-mouse-stops-working-from-time-to-tim... ), but still no luck.
    The software updates applied from the Lenovo System Update tool were:
    ThinkPad Power Management Driver: 1.67.04.05
    ThinkPad Power Manager: 6.64.4
    Lenovo Solution Center: 2.4.002
    Intel G1/G2 Display Driver: 9.17.10.3347
    Also, some windows updates  which don't seem related (mostly security), but I can lookup the list of KB numbers if helpful.
    Are there any known issues with the power manager updates that might affect this? If so, what's the best way to revert to the last working version?
    Thanks!

    Try doing a PRAM reset and see if that helps, also put in new batteries as that may make a difference.

  • Satellite A105 Shift Keys stop working after BIOS update

    I have a stack of laptop boards from the A105 series (Intel chipset) that I received with bad BIOS's. Two worked, and I updated the BIOS's on them to fix CPU compatibility issues. After that, the shift keys stopped working, and pressing Shift-A causes the power light to dim. Reverting to ANY previous version BIOS, whether through the Windows program, CD, or Crisis Recovery floppy (magic key is "F", not "B", "Esc", or "U"), does not fix the keyboard problem.
    To make things more confusing, I did notice that the one single BIOS that seems to actually correct the problem is version 1.50, which I haven't seen available for any Tecra A7 or Satellite A100/A105, except a couple A100's, but the BIOS file is much too small and can't be loaded.
    Does anyone have any idea why these Intel-based boards are doing this? Or does anyone know where I can get a usable version 1.50 BIOS?
    For the sake of this post, please consider my skill level to be high. (In other words, I would be thankful for people trying to help with "Replace the keyboard", but I have about a dozen keyboards, all of which I have tried, and all of which work on other laptops. Additionally, if you have just a theoretical solution, I'm definitely open to hearing it. Also, if a Toshiba tech would like to reply, I would very much appreciate it!)

    Hi, thank you for your help.
    Some motherboards were not in chassis when I got them. Is there a place the PSAAxx model number would be written on the boards?
    Four PSAA8U (Two A105-S4334 and Two A105-S4014) - Intel Chipset, fingerprint reader. Tried BIOS Versions 1.40, 1.70, 2.00, 5.10, 5.60, 5.90, and 6.00. Shift keys do not work on either one.
    Two PSAA2U (A105-S2091 and A105-S2031) - ATi Chipset. BIOS versions 1.50, 1.80, and 2.30. Keyboard works.
    Another PSAA8U (A105-S4184) - Intel Chipset, no fingerprint reader. BIOS version 6.00. Keyboard works.
    I noticed that so far all of the models with fingerprint readers have the problem. All of the ATi Chipset boards are working fine, but they have significant processor limits. I am in the middle of updating the BIOS in another Intel one using a Crisis Rescue Disc, so after that finishes I will try disconnecting the fingerprint reader to see if it has an effect.
    I don't think the keyboard controller is faulty, because these boards all failed on the same day. I have tried updating the BIOS using WinPhlash, Phlash16 in DOS, the install CD, and a Crisis Recovery Disk. I set the defaults in the BIOS almost every time, and I also have tried holding the power button for 60 seconds with the power cord unplugged and the battery removed (as some people have suggested.)
    The shift keys don't work in DOS, Linux, Windows, or even in the BIOS. I test it in the BIOS by using Tab to cycle through the fields in time of day, then Shift-Tab to cycle backwards. This works with a USB keyboard, and it also works on the ATi chipset models and the Intel chipset models that are still working.
    Thank you for your reply. (-:

  • Mouse stops working after being left alone

    My issue is: If I don't use my mouse for an extended period of time (especially if afk, happenes when at the computer too though) it stops working and I need to replug it for it to work, the time seems to range from 2 seconds to half an hour or more without any real logic to it.
    Expected behavior: the mouse should remain functional even after not being used for a variable amount of time.
    Originally I suspected it was because it uses 5V 100mA but after examining my previous mouse and the USB spec I can conclude that is not the case as this behavior was not expressed with my previous mouse, further this behavior remains even after I move it from the usb hub to one of the ports on the computer.
    A quick $lsusb later and I have the device id

    1b1a:7004 seems to be an unknown device (seeing that it works fine on windows and mac based computers I can conclude that the hardware isn't faulty)
    Perhaps linux doesn't realize it requires 100mA? Or maybe it isn't getting 12MB/s speed but instead only 1.5?

    Well... apparently my theories are all incorrect, the LEDs stop pulsing when the mouse 'dies' and just remain on so at least I can conclude it doesn't power down.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    $ sudo echo -1 >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
    bash: /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend: Permission denied
    ditto for $sudo for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/autosuspend; do echo -1 > $i; done
    #for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/autosuspend; do echo -1 > $i; done
    does execute without error but it changes nothing.
    the buttons do not wake the mouse which is why this is such a problem (well, the dpi button and LMB, RMB and MMB don't, there are two other buttons but I can't recall if I tested them)
    Physically unplugging and re-inserting the mouse and keyboard fixes the problem regardless of any changes. The thing is that I would like it to be working from boot, and not having to replug them.
    Obviously not working on my end though seeing I have to replug it every time it dies.
    thanks for linking the post though (I had already read it but going through it a second time at least proves it wasn't just a one off that I didn't do it right or something but that it actually doesn't work. Odd that root doesn't have permission to do some things though, seeing that root should have ultimate power).

  • Board won't work after BIOS flash

    All,
        I have K8T Neo MS-6702 Ver 1.0 mother board. I flashed the bios using this .zip file 6702v32.zip which i downloaded from the MSI site. While flashing from the floppy there were no errors. I used Windows XP. now after i flashed when i reboot, all the machine does is blinks the CDROM driver light continuesly & does nothing else.
        From the MSI website, it say i can press Ctrl+Home to make it read AMIBIOS file from the floppy. But Ctrl+Home doesn't seem to do anything.
        Can someone help me here as to how to get back my Bios.
    Thanks
    Pavan

    OK.. i tried the Insert & delete keys nothing happens.
    Now going on to the AMIBOOT.ROM file in the floppy.
    It says put this file alone in the floppy & reboot the machine & press and hold Ctrl-Home.
    I tried this, but the big question is for how long am i supposed to press & hold.
    The link from "apple renegade" user suggests that it would take 4 minutes.
    i quote from that website.
    Quote
    AMI: The AMI boot-block BIOS will look for a AMIBOOT.ROM file on a diskette. Copy and rename the correct BIOS file on the floppy and power up the PC. The floppy doesn't need to be bootable. You will see the PC read the floppy, after about 4 minutes you will hear 4 beeps, this means the transfer is done. Reboot the PC and modify the CMOS for your configuration.
    Here there is no mention that i need to hold the Ctrl+Home key combination.
    Also, when the floppy is being read, would the floppy LED be on. I don't see any indication of the floppy being read.
    Also, from the Basic Troubleshoot link in the MSI website it suggested to try the JBAT1 jumper, move it to 1,2 & leave for 15 seconds & put it back 2,3 pins. Tried this but no change.
    It was also suggested to pull the  VBAT1, the CMOS batter & keep it out & the system down for several minutes. Did this too & keep the system down for about 5-7 minutes. No change when i put back the battery & restart.
    Any other suggestions??
    Probably a shift in topic, if i were to get a new motherboard, i would prefer to get the same motherboard, so to pull the CPU off & put it in the new mobo, how do i clean the thermal pad & how to re-apply a new one.
    Thanks a million for all your help

  • Keyboard doesnt work after BIOS flash Not even in BIOS!

    I have a touchsmart tx2 1224-ca, I updated to the recent BIOS, using windows 7, and now my keyboard wont work at all, not even in the post screen, or bios. Though the computer does work with my usb keyboard plugged in. Im extremely frusterated at this becuase I got the flash from HP themselves and It screwed it over.

    Hello Thewierd1,
     After flashing the BIOS the keyboard no longer functions, is that correct? I will try to help you with this issue.
    Try restore storing the BIOS, you may have to use the 2nd method if the USB keyboard doesn’t work for you.
    Please respond back at your earliest convenience.

  • Magic mouse stopped working after upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.5

    Today I upgraded Mountain Lion to 10.8.5 (via the App Store) on my newest iMac. First of all, immediately after the upgrade restart, my USB keyboard (which I prefer because I want the keypad) wasn't recognised; now, on the new Magic Mouse (which came with the iMac) the left and middle click are not being recognised. Whichever side I click, I just get the seconary click pop up box as if I were right clicking. I have checked the mouse settings -- everything is fine; I have checked the batteries -- they are fine; I have rebooted, to no avail.
    So I've had to resort to an old USB mouse.
    Can anyone help? I'm pretty fed up about having paid for a mouse that I can't use.
    Thanks

    Forgot to mention that the scroll stopped, too! (Good job I hadn't thrown away old faithful mouse!)
    However, it's an intermittent fault so I could be tempted to think it's the mouse itself, if it hadn't happened immediately after I upgraded and if the upgrade it hadn't thrown up the keyboard error message, too.
    I'll try the Combo (and I have Time Machine running on the whole system so can restore, if necessary).
    I'll report back. Thanks for all your help.

  • Mighty Mouse stops working after a few hours on iMac G5

    Hello
    I got a mighty mouse and it worked perfectly for a while (so I know that I am clicking and using it properly)
    ...then it just started acting crazy..
    examples:
    -I'd have my hand over it(not touching it) and it would register a click
    -randomly registering clicking side-buttons
    -right-click just doesn't work
    So I took it back to apple store and got a replacement...no problem.
    I plugged in new one...worked fine for a while, then the same problem reappears.
    So I unhook the mighty mouse, plugin my MSFT optical mouse...then a few hours later, perhaps a reboot or two... I'll plugin my Mighty Mouse and again it will work fine. Then the whole problem repeats itself.
    I don't think the problem is with the mouse..but perhaps how it works on the iMac G5.
    Anyone seen anything like this? Its strange it happenned on TWO diff. Mighty Mouses.

    Rob
    I haven't gotten any help on it. I mean to call apple but haven't gotten to it. I will try turning off the side buttons when I get to the machine again, but as far as I'm concerned, for approx $50, this thing should work perfectly. I bought it because it has more buttons and turning them off isn't an option. APPLE, ARE YOU LISTENING.
    Please help us!

  • Starting problems, computer freezes, keyboard and mouse stop working

    Hi can anyone help? My powerbook has just stopped working, rarely starts, when it does keyboard and mouse stop working after a while or even before i am able to login. At one point I was getting a grey screen with the words, memory access invalid???? Please help...
    powerbook G4    

    power surge could have damaged something inside, or it maybe unrelated to the problem.
    PowerBook can get hot if there is some short circuit inside and power flow is disrupted, also it's possible that the fans are not working properly.
    as a guess, it is likely either hard drive or logic board problem.
