Problem with USB mouse on Satelite a215-s7416

Hi all. I have been having this problem since I got this computer in December. I hope someone will be able to help me.
I have been using a usb corded optical mouse. It works for about 4-5 weeks then it loses power. For the first few days I can unplug it and plug it back in and it will work again. If I change ports it works as well. Eventually it stops entirely, in all ports. I plug it into my desktop and it works just fine. The first few times it happened I exchanged the mouse thinking it was faulty. As soon as I plugged in the new mouse it worked fine. After a few months of this I switched to a different brand of mouse. I am still experiencing the same problems. I have found some support info about deleting USB hubs and reinstalling, which worked for a few days. I have also updated BIOS, I have not done any other updates though.
Anyone know what may be the cause of this? I plan on going out to exchange it yet again tomorrow and I am confident when I plug it in it will work just fine.

Ive seen a similar problem on a Desktop PC, it was caused by bad USB drivers.
Did you install Logitech or Microsoft mouse drivers, or any other USB related drivers?
Try removing those, they may be conflicting with the mouse.
If that doesn't work, you could try reinstalling Windows by running Recovery (backup your data first off course :p)

  • Satellite M70-190 - problem with USB

    Hi!
    After uninstall Windows XP and BIOS update, i have a problem with USB ports. My USB flash drive does't work. Windows find it as USB flash drive, but i can't find it in "My computer"
    So have anyone idea about this problem?
    PS External HDD works perfect, as USB mouse, and USB WiMax modem.
    Im hoping someone out there can help with this problem.

    Is described issue the same on all USB ports?
    I mean, I have Satellite M70-159 in front of me and since long time I use 8GB SanDisc and 2GB Toshiba USB stick and both devices are recognized properly.
    I still use original Toshiba WXP installation (updated of course).

  • MSI K8N Diamond - Boot problems with USB devices attached.

    Hi There.
    I have been seeking the forums, but havent found the answer to my problem yet. 
    This is how it goes with ANY USB devices attached to either of the four USB ports on the Motherboard.
    When i turn on my system, it hangs in the POST right after displaying the BIOS version (Which I have updated to 1.6) - I cant use my Keyboard to get to the BIOS setup.
    Without USB devices attached...
    The system boots without problems. And in Windows XP SP2 i can insert my keyboard, mouse etc. and everything works great - both USB 1.1 & 2.0 devices.
    I have disabled the KB/USB.. in BIOS and I have disabled the "Boot on other device" option as well.
    As I have found on this forum, a lot of people have problems with USB Front panel and D-Bracket (USB ports) connectors causing the system to hang - But my D-Bracket (USB connectors) and my front USB port is at this time DISCONNECTED - so this cannot be the problem.
    The D-Bracket shows the "Bios Sign On" information - and stops at that point 
    Am I having a malfunctioning Motherboard here, or are there any solutions to this problem?
    Please help me as I am desperate to have my system work properly.
    Regards
    Stieper

    Well I have read about that somewhere in here, but my problem is NOT with an USB hub, but with any USB device attached to the motherboard's USB slots. It is driving me nuts to be honest!! I think it might be time for RMA 
    What do you say guys - is my Motherboard ready for RMA, or do I have to try something specific berfore sending it to the retailer??

  • K7N2 deltas mainboards have a problem with usb devices ??

    Ok here is my problem..
    I had installed WinXP Pro with SP1..
    I got a 20 GB USB2.0 disk.i connected it on the both front or rear usb ports.
    When i tried to transfer files to my usb disk or to my PC, in the middle of the copying, i got "Write Delay Failed" error and lost my usb connection..
    I had to plug it out and in again..
    Now, i have an DSL modem..Last night, i was disconnected from internet and my modem's lights gone..I plug it again, no lights..restarted my PC, also completely shutdown Windows XP..Again no lights..
    Then, formatted PC and installed windows 2000 Pr and SP4, until now, my modem worked fine..But USB 2.0 ports are still no use for my usb disk...
    In bios , it's enabled as USB 1.1+2.0..
    I think this K7N2 deltas have a problem with usb 2.0 devices and Win XP Pro..
    Some guys talking about, removing 9th wire earth, but couldn't understand which wire from where ? From mainboard or from usd device's cable ?
    Those cables are fabricated, i think it's impossible ?
    My processor is Athlon 2500+, ram Twinmos 512 DDR 400
    Thanks for reply

    I'm also having this problem. It's happening with my USB flash disk. I was almost buying another one when I tried it with Windows Vista on the same machine and it worked ok, then I tried Arch Linux (with kernel 2.6.30.5) on another machine and got the same error. After that I tried Ubuntu and it worked ok. Seems that Arch's kernel doesn't like my USB flash disk.

  • The cursor on my iMac freezes, and I cannot do anything unless I unplug the computer. It is NOT a problem with the mouse or the keyboard ... it is internal. How do I fix this??

    The cursor on my iMac (Panther 10.3.9) freezes to where I cannot do anything unless I unplug the computer. It is NOT a problem with the mouse or the keyboard. How do I solve this problem?

    Sorry to say but your imac g5 logic board has bad caps. This was a problem apple had and issued a out of warentee fix but that has now expired.
    The cost to get this repaired is more than what you could find another used imac for.
    I would suggest you get some details before you rush to make a diagnosis. You have absolutely no information to base this on. I see you're hitting up on numerous threads all over the place. Quality, meaning several good posts with reliable advice, is much more worthwhile than quantity.

  • Problem with usb boot on Satellite A-50

    I've had a problem with usb boot. When I'm inserting a usb, I can't boot my computer from usb. I've selected the option boot from a disk, but doesn't runs. I have a "Satellite A-50-522". Do I need to update bios?

    Hello,
    you sould try to press F12 when the Toshiba screen appears! Then a small boot menu is shown. Choose USB-FDD and then it should work.

  • New Problem with my mouse

    I use an eMac running Tiger. After upgrading to the newest version of Tiger, I have an intermittent problem with my mouse. It will suddenly only 'control (right) click'. This happens whether I use an apple single button mouse or a Logitech two button mouse. The only way to regain my 'left click' capability is to restart the computer.
    Is there a driver that I need to install with this new update? I've never had this problem before.
    Thanks!

    In other words:
    Since upgrading my G4 eMac to the latest iteration of Tigger, I have been having a problem with mice. Don't matter if it is the Apple one-button mouse or a Logitech two-button mouse.
    What happens is that I lose my 'left click' capability. That is to say, my mouse will only 'control click'. When having this intermittent problem, if I have the Logitech mouse installed, the left button acts as a 'right click' button. If I have the singlt-button mouse installed, it will only 'control (right) click'. Thus, it becomes hard to properly use the 'puter.
    I have to cuss a bit and then restart the 'puter for things to be temporarily put back on track. So far, nobody knows the answer to the problem. Any Mac geniuses out there?
    Thanks!

  • Problems with pro mouse

    Finally got a Pro Mouse for my G4 (still non-mac keyboard though). But it seems that there is a problem with the mouse now. I got it second hand from a friend and saw it working on his computer, but I plug it in to mine and I get no response! I've tried plugging it into different ports and restarting the computer with no luck...any suggestions?

    Thanks Barry,
    I just tried to do what you said in your answer and after restarting the computer everything worked fine for a short period of time, after that everything was as before.
    I took the magic mouse to an apple store a couple of days ago, they tried it in several computers and everything was fine. I also checked my macbook's bluetooth with other devices and I didn't find any problems.
    I still have until monday to fix the issue before the 14 day trial period expires, so you are welcome if you have any more suggestions.
    Thanks again to everybody trying to help

  • Satellite M30X: Problems with USB 2.0 external HDD

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite M30X. I recently bought myself a 200GB External Hard Disc. It has its own Power supply. If I connect it with USB 2.0 to my Laptop it happens to diconnect and reconnect permanantly. Sometimes it works, then I can put Data on the Disc. Then again it diconnects and reconnects many times. I've already tried another USB Port, but there is no difference. It's very strange, because I connected the External Hard Disc to many other Computers (Laptop and Tower) and it ALWAYS works!!! Its only with my Laptop it disconnects and reconnects the whole time. As I said, not always. Sometimes it works for like an half an hour or so then the action starts again ...
    Can somebody help???
    Greez Lutz

    Hi Andrea
    I really dont know why this happen. A friend of mine has the same problem with his desktop. While copy process runs the HDD is suddenly disconnected and there is also acoustic sound when the hardware is removed.
    I have connected his HDD on my Tecra and there is no problem. I really dont know what the problem can be. Maybe there is some problem with OS because I can not believe that there is some contact problem with USB ports.
    If you use many different USB devices at the same time maybe there is some conflict between few different drivers. Sorry but it is not easy to give some precise explanation.

  • [K8N NEO3-F] Problem with USB keyboard and PS2 mouse after upgrading BIOS

    Hello everyone!
    I have upgraded BIOS from 1.1 to 1.4... I have Sempron 2600 (64bit) so BIOS v.1.1 did not recognise it.
    The motherboard works, but after upgrading I have a small problem with my keyboard and mouse.
    When I use USB keyboard my PS2 mouse doesn't work. When I connect PS2 keyboard mouse works!!!
    Can you tell me what's wrong?                   
    Thanks, bartull@           
    PS. Does BIOS v.1.3 recognise Sempron 64bit? Can you give me a link to it?

    I think that the problem may have been caused by flashing either with liveupdate or with winflash.  I had the problem when i used winflash correctly (shutting down all programs, checking all the boxes to clear bootblock and cmos) but had usb keyboard connected during flash.  My suggestion is to reflash with floppy to last bios version that worked using only ps2 mouse and keyboard with the following instructions:
    DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
    awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
    (Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
    After flash is complete :
    TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
    Turn on again , press the power button .
    Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
    Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
    If that works, then reflash to the bios you tried before with the same procedure.  Once you have stable system with ps2 keyboard and mouse working, re-enter bios and enable usb and keyboard support as a lot of bios' have it disabled by default for some strange reason.
    Good luck.
