[Solved] Mouse and Keyboard Dont Work After BIOS Update

I spent the last few hours in windows 7 trying to prove to the guys over at MSFN that my problem wasn't driver or bios related by updating to the latest drivers and upgrading my bios to the most recent version. After I was finished I decided to boot back into arch to work some more on my custom kernel (since oddly it had the same problem before the bios update, the mouse and keyboard worked on one boot but once i rebooted into it again they no longer worked) and found that the keyboard and mouse no longer worked, thinking I had rebooted into the custom kernel by accident I rebooted and selected the default kernel once again only to find that the mouse and keyboard still didn't work.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I really don't want to reinstall since I just installed it last night.
Edit: Another silly mistake, i had renamed the original xorg.conf and never put back when I was finished. This makes me wonder why KDM even started up at all though.

Hello base76, welcome to the HP Forums.
It appears that the mouse and keyboard aren't working correctly. I will try to assist you with this.
To start could you please provide the following:
Model and product numbers for you notebook.
Currently install operating system.
Were these working previously? If yes, were any changes made prior to them not working?
Have you attempted any troubleshooting? If yes, what have you tried so far?
I look forward to your reply.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
I worked on behalf of HP.

  • [solved] mouse and keyboard not working (and previous fix wont work)

    i made a clean default setup with
    arch
    latest kernel - 2.6.29 i think
    xorg 1.6.1
    video-intel-legacy
    on a 865G intel box + tried usb and ps2 keyboards + usb mouse
    when i start X the mouse and keyboard dont work (and i have to hard reset the box) in all of the setups i tried. the AutoAddDevices fix suggested before does not work this time
    - without xorg.conf
    - with auto-generated xorg.conf (X -confogure)
    - with the automatic conf +
    Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
    EndSection
    - with tiny xorg.conf containing only
    Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
    EndSection
    - with dbus/hal enabled and disabled in rc.conf
    how i make it work

    the setup that works to me now is
    automatic xorg.conf with the AutAddDevices False (disable hotplug) lines
    dbus and hal enabled in deamons
    this lines instruct xorg to use xf86-input-mouse/keyboard instead of evdev. ie it looks like with evdev there is no point in xf86-input-mouse/keyboard

  • [SOLVED] Xorg and keyboard not working after upgrade.

    Hi guys,
    after a `# pacman -Syyu` I got Xorg not starting and keyboard not working: I am unable to do anything.
    I'm posting here pacman's log that I got by booting an Ubuntu Live CD: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7517806
    Any hint?
    How do you recover a system once it's gone like this? Many thanks in advance.

    Just my 1.46¢
    You're right, problem wasn't actually solved. In fact, yesterday I upgraded the whole system again and the same problem showed up, but I got it fixed.
    Same scenario: after a boot (shorter than usual), what I had was a tty, but I noticed something that I hadn't noticed the last time: the prompt said "Arch Linux 3.11.[?]".
    The kernel version was supposed to be 3.12.[?] so I started investigating and after several attempts, this is how I got the system working again:
    1. Chrooted into the system
    2. Wiped /boot
    3. Re-installed grub
    4. Re-installed linux kernel
    5. Re-created grub.cfg
    6. ???
    7. Profit
    I'm pretty sure that what originated the problem wasn't a "kernel issue" as I pointed out in my previous post, but it was an incorrect installation of grub: in fact, the grub prompt never showed up before yesterday, the system used to boot straight, ignoring the 5 seconds timeout.

  • Mouse and Keyboard stops working after a while

    Hi, I'm not even sure where to start to find the cause of the problem. I have a normal ps/2 keyboard and USB optical mouse, both of them just stops working after a few hours. The light on the mouse just dies and the keyboard is not responsive at all.  I have to do a hard reboot of my computer. How and where can I diagnose the problem? I noticed the problem started when I upgraded to the latest kernel.

    And then after a while it will just use a new address:
    Oct 31 01:47:15 wdesktop usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 6
    Oct 31 01:47:15 wdesktop usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7
    Oct 31 01:47:16 wdesktop usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
    Oct 31 01:47:16 wdesktop input: Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical as /class/input/input8
    Oct 31 01:47:16 wdesktop input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical] on usb-0000:00:10.0-1
    Then after that my mouse is unusable, the following is shown:
    Oct 31 01:48:41 wdesktop usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 7
    Oct 31 01:48:41 wdesktop usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8
    Oct 31 01:49:13 wdesktop usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9
    Oct 31 01:49:45 wdesktop usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10
    Oct 31 01:49:56 wdesktop usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 11
    Oct 31 01:50:08 wdesktop uhci_hcd 0000:00:10.0: Controller not stopped yet!
    Unplugging and plugging the mouse back does not work
    I found a workaround for that by unplugging the mouse, removing the uhci_hcd and adding it back, so:
    sudo rmmod uhci_hcd
    sudo modprobe uhci-hcd
    But I'm still not sure what causes the problem.

  • T510 Mouse and Keyboard stops working with Windows Update - unable to roll back, happened twice

    My mouse has been working fine for a while but it stopped working followed by the keyboard, I put it down to a Windows update but because Windows 7 keeps bluescreening on a restore point I couldn't recover.  I contacted Lenovo got the rebuild disc for my machine, completely rebuilt it, all working fine, then after 2 days same issue, mouse stopped, keyboard stopped, restore points make no difference.  Does anyone know what windows update is causing this and if there is a fix aside from rebuilding, I can't keep doing this and I need to understand the cause really, not had it with a laptop before.  Gone back to using my old laptop until I can get it sorted.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    I installed the latest drivers via windows update and got the touchpad back, rebooted, it went again.  Netiher the trackpoint or touchpad work.  I then thought rather than focus on drivers check the bios.  I disabled the trackpoint in the bios, still neither works, however if I disable the touchpad in the bios and enable the trackpoint, the trackpoint does consistently work.  I can't explain why the touchpad worked after a touchpad update but now fails, the ultranav driver is installed but if both are enabled in the bios it say it isn't installed, if the trackpoint is enabled it tells me I need to enable both so it clearly knows it's there.  What's curious is that this doesn't happen on the complete clean IBM build.  I can't not turn off windows updates, I'm a developer so Ioad the laptops up with a vast variety of software and I need many of the windows update fixes, either way I am surprised they are conflicting with the touchpad so dramatically.  I can't see it being a virus I'm using two layers of protection and if I blow the machine away and installed the updates via an .iso image (so it's never connected to anything else), I can replicate the problem.  It's feasible it's another piece of software causing the conflict.  Any one have any idea what could be going on or seen it before?

  • Mouse and Keyboard stop working after reboot

    So far the computer is working great except for the fact everytime you reboot the keyboard and mouse stop working... I did a clean format x2 and put the service pack on and I am still getting the same problem.
    Anyone have this problem or something similair ? Any ideas ?
    Thanks in advance :-)

    The problem is not your S/W install. It's with the MSI Motherboard. Your best bet is to ask MSI when a fix will be available, or go buy a different board.

  • Apple wireless mouse and keyboard stop working ... now says OS X version and bluetooth incompatible

    For no apparent reason my apple wireless mouse and keyboard stopped working. I was not upgrading or installing anything, the batteries are good, nothing was changed as far as I know. Now bluetooth discovers the paired devices, connects for about 30 seconds, the disconnects ... or stays connected but doesn't work.
    What's happenned ... I'm rushing to finish a big job ... any ideas? I've tried re-pairing but doesn't work ... says that OSX version may be incompatible with device bluetooth ... I'm using Lion so maybe there is another lion problem?

    Hello:
    Barry: What do you mean with "making devices favorites"?
    This is the method:
    Go to system preferences>bluetooth.  Highlight an item in the sidebar.  If detailed information does not appear, click on the little gear and select show more info.  Then click on the gear again and select favorite.
    And how could an hardware-related problem be (temporarily) solved rebooting the OS?
    Intermittent problems are, IMHO, most often caused by hardware.  Restarting will occasionally "fix" problems - why, I do not know.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Keyboard not working in Win XP!

    Hi All,
    I simply cannot get my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Keyboard to work in Win XP via Bootcamp! The bluetooth icon appears in the tray and even shows that they are connected but they do nothing at all. One thing to note is that they show up as connected but with no password. Could this be the problem? If I reconnected the two with new passcodes for XP, would they still work when I reboot in OSX?

    upgrading to vista sorted things out!

  • Satellite Pro C850 wont work after Bios update

    my satellite pro c850 cd wont work after bios update from toshiba.
    what do i do?

    Saying: dont work you mean it does not power up or what do you mean exactly?
    Did you flash the BIOS properly?
    Possibly something went wrong during the update and this means that ROM module isnt flashed properly
    In most cases a special BIOS crisis disk would be needed to get it working
    Not quite sure if you can get it fixed by your own

  • USB mouse and keyboard not working

    Any advice/thoughts/suggestions appreciated:
    All 3 USB ports at the back of my iMac have stopped working.  This means I can't use either a keyboard or mouse, so have no way of logging in.  I turn my iMac on, it boots up as usual, but when it gets to the login screen, the mouse and keyboard don't work and I get a message about bluetooth set-up. (Both my mouse and keyboard are wired, not bluetooth). 
    I have tried an SMC reset (by turning the iMac off, unplugging all USB devices and the power cable, leaving the iMac for a few minutes and then plugging the cable back in a turning it on again).  This didn't work.
    I've also tried a different version of the SMC reset where I hold down the power button whilst all the cables are unplugged and also as I plug the power cable back in.  After doing this, the fan turns on at full speed (v loud), but the mouse and keyboard still don't work.
    I've also checked my mouse on a different computer and it works fine.
    Has anyone got any other suggestions / workarounds?
    Note I can't do a PRAM reset because my keyboard doesn't work.
    Is it probably that the USB hardwear has failed?  If so, is it possible to repair this?  It is worth repairing given it is a 5/6 year old iMac (the white plastic one) which is probably on its last legs anyway?
    many thanks!
    Jez.

    Try the SMC reset again, only this time wait 5 minutes in set 3 instead of fifteen seconds.
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Wait fifteen seconds. 5 minutes.
    4. Attach the computer's power cord.
    5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • Mouse and keyboard stop working ocassionally and I have to re-boot the computer. does anyone else have this issue?

    I  have a pwoer Mac with a dual quad processor and current os. If I turn off the computer at night and power up the next day my wireless mouse and keyboard do not work nor does my hardwired mouse. I have to hold the power button to re-boot the computer to get it to work.

    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem  & the Startup right after that for clues.
    And/or...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • [SOLVED]Mouse and keyboard acting crazy. I have to restart gdm via ssh

    Here's the output from dmesg after boot.
    http://pastebay.com/14045
    Basically, I'm getting errors from my USB mouse and keyboard.  If I wait long enough udev will find them and they'll start working.  GDM starts too fast so Xorg is stuck without keyboard and mouse.  I had to ssh and restart GDM then mouse and keyboard worked.  For the meantime I've disabled gdm in rc.conf. 
    I usually see these messages from devices that are drawing too much power from the USB power bus.
    These devices work fine in the Win32 and OSX installs on the same hardware.
    thanks ya'll

  • After iTunes Update (10.3) mouse and keyboard settings reset after every system reboot

    Since I updated to the iTunes version with cloud support (after Jobs' Keynote where the iCloud was introduced) my mouse and keyboard settings (see image) are being resetted on every system reboot.
    image: this is how I want my settings, but they're resetted to system standard when I reboot my MBP
    I don't know if there is a connection between the update and the resetted settings.
    Does anyone know a solution to fix this problem?

  • External Mouse and Keyboard Stop Working When X220 is Docked and Screen is Closed

    I have an X220 with a docking station, external monitor and external keyboard/mouse.  When I start the laptop from a cold boot and it's docked, my external mouse and keyboard work fine with the screen open or closed.  
    If I undock and redock with the screen closed, the external keyboard doesn't work and the mouse cursor moves, but the mouse buttons don't do anything.  If I open the screen, then the keyboard and mouse work fine.
    I've swapped the keyboard and mouse and still have the same problem, so it's not the kb/mouse.  This is a brand new X220 and the issue has been occurring since it was purchased.
    Any thoughts?

    hey mhambalek,
    hard to say what's going on, though i would recommend heading to http://support.lenovo.com , do a full update of your unit.
    also, if the external keyboard & mouse & monitotor is connected to your unit without the docking station, does the same thing happen?

  • 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.
