[Q] Mouse lit up but not working.. - Windows 8 General

Hi ..
Maybe this is the wrong place to ask but
My mouse was working just fine..
Suddenly it stopped working, however, the mouse still light up..
I tried other mouse, not working either with light on..
I restored the whole computer to factory but that didn't help.. which is weird..
Tried different ports but not working..
But any other device works just fine..
Went to device manager, it's not under mice section..
And i tried to update genetic usb drivers but that didn't help either..
The mouse is has its lights on but the computer bit detecting it and not giving any message..
What can I do?

the problem may be in your ports do you use usb mouse
i would suggest you to go to a hardware shop and ask the owner about this problem and if possible get new 3.0 usb slots if you are using usb mouse

Yes usb mouse.. I don't think there is a problem with the ports as all of them works with ANY other devices .. phones, keyboard, printer, etc..
It's only the mouse that doesn't work.. just lights up and doesn't work..
And if I plugged the mouse in wrong way, it will give an error that says the device not recognised.. well this is hard to get ..
Taking the PC to a computer isn't an easy option right now unfortunately.. that's why I'm asking.. and this is so frustrating..

read your mouse manual if you have cos it may have this problem listed in troubleshooting and there you might get its solution and do you have the pin port mouse you can use that in case of emergency

It would be useful if you actually managed to get the names for things correct. Its a PS/2 connector, very rare to have an external PS/2 port these days, however many laptop mice and keyboards are wired internally as PS/2 and most USB keyboards if can actually detect a PS/2 clock signal on the data line and switch over into a legacy PS/2 mode (but you need to craft an adaptor).
Back to OP:
So its a standard USB mouse, could you give the models for both mice?
Can you test both mice on other machines?
When you plug them in is there a device manager entry under "Human Interface Devices" for them. My mouse lists itself as a "Mad Catz R.A.T.5 Mouse (USB)". I then get 3 entries under mice, one
If they are lighting up then clearly they are getting power at least. If phones and keyboards are working then the computers USB is intact.
There is either something wrong with windows and it not having the correct drivers available, or with the mouse.

I have the same problem on my laptop since installing windows 8.
go to device manager, disable then enable all the USB ports with yellow exclamation marks above them. This will fix the issue.

USB Mouse. Where's my pointer?

Guys,
Just plugged in a USB mouse via the 4in1 socket. The device powers the mouse after a soft reset and I can use the scroll wheel to scroll.
Anyone know if there's a facility to enable a mouse pointer like on the Athena?
Cheers.
Hi waveydavey.
Did you mean Orbit?
I also want to know, USB keyboard works faultlessly

Clear something up for me guys. With my T-Mo Ameo, i received the the mains charger, a USB cable, and a VGA out cable. Should there be another one for connecting USB devices? What is this 4 in 1 socket?
Hi,
It's an optional cable, which you can buy:
http://www.expansys.nl/p.aspx?i=145166
Thanks, I've ordered one.
Yep, I have one too. Hence the question.
I've tried USB Keyboard, Hard drive and Mouse. All seem to work, but I need a mouse pointer to see where the mouse is pointing obviously and I can't seem to find one.
Sorry for hijacking your thread Mr Wavey, as soon as my cable arrives I'll see if I can answer your question
Hi
I've tried the 4-1 cable and have also had no luck with the mouse pointer. Tried downloading the iGo Stowaway BT drivers but no luck. I think I will wait for expansys to get the new iGo BT mouse in stock in April (about £35) - they list the Advantage as being compatible. Unless anyone has any other ideas?
On a seperate note - I've managed to get VGA out working on my LCD TV through the PC input but have so far not had any look with sound. Ideally I would like to be able to plug in into my aux of my hifi but so far my cables don't seem to work?
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers
SPheler.....
I found application called sphelper, it was meant for smartphones to enable one to run. ppc software...and it gave an on screen cursor
www.bobsoft.com/sphelper
Shows a cursor....
I will try it, unplugging now
....
..
plugged in mouse, the mouse still works but its invisible and my cursor is in the middle of my screen
Oh well, I didnt have much hope. Just thought I might be lucky...
The search continues......
Problem solved
I have found a lurverly little tool discovered/created? by non other than Paul who runs www.modaco.com
http://www.modaco.com/Athena-Test-Mouse-Driver-t253431.html
Try this my brothers, it's nifty it is.
Remember to:
-Install cab file
-Soft reset device
-Only then, once you have seen the little screen pop up saying test mouse or something, plug in the adapter and the mouse.
I have found it works exceedingly well. The pointer can stutter slightly but I have not found it a problem at all.
Enjoy!
I don't really want to sign up with Modaco just to get the file.
Can you upload it here?
Good find, by the way....
I might get flamed but....
Custom built CAB based on http://www.geocities.jp/jsus_y/usbmouse/usbmouse.html
All props to Paul
Cheers for that.
The cursor disappears when screen is tapped
Cursor disappears when screen is taped. Need to unplug and plug before it comes back. So I sesist the temptation to tap the screen

Thanks for that Yarod....you're right, it works a treat!! I can live with the occasional stutter. The Athena is becoming ever closer to a Mobile PC.....just with a different more limited O/S but superb connectivity options.
Hello, had someone else testing this programm on a Ameo with German language?
I install it and get the massege "new USB Mouse" but nothing happens :-(
just click ok and plug in your mouse. remember not to plug in before soft reset. the language does not matter.
O.k. I do a soft reset, than i tapped on o.k. after this i plug in my mouse.... nothing happens.
Is there a special brand of mouse that works with this programm?
I would be so happy if it works

USB Host

Does anyone know of a usb host driver that enables usb host on the X1? Another user reported that the Zeno usb host drivers did not work. Any one tried others with success?
it has been discussed here somewere, and the last thing was all agreed it doesn't have a USB Host!
i hope it's not true, only time will let us know!
Uh... Well... I understand what you are asking for, but I don't know what you want to do with it... What would be the need for a USB host function on a mobile phone

Let's say you have some files on a thumb drive and wanna work on them (.doc , .xls...etc) but you don't have a laptop with you.
Or..Some images on an external HDD you wanna send via email, but no laptop with you...
Or..Show off to your iSheep friends that you can connect usb mouse and keyboard to use on your x1..
Get images off of your digi cam....etc etc
How about pluging in a usb joypad for gaming??
Endless possibilities.
I've recently seen some universal WinMo USB host drivers but the problem with X1 supposedly is that it doesn't power the USB port itself so you might need to power it externally. Dunno if it would really work though.
But you still need a pen drive or ext. hd with mini USB right?

Does the amazon actually work on the X1?
Peeps, i have been thinking about this problem for awhile now. Check this thread, there is a link to a site with drivers that should work,

Xperia doesn't have a powered usb. So, the only two ways to get something working are to either connect something with its own power supply, or to use a usb injector. Sadly the first option defeats the whole point of connecting a flash or a mouse and the latter one, well, i haven't had any luck with a suitable injector for the x1.
Good luck.

NO, not unless we have a driver for USB host for X1
And as above posts stats, power to the USB.

USB Keyboard Support?

Picked up an A500 today after carefully reading through the documentation on Acer's support site as well as the user manual for mentions of USB keyboard support. It says implicitly that there IS support for USB keyboards (just not USB mice yet). However...I can't get a single USB keyboard to work (I've tried 3). Anyone tried this yet and gotten it working? I know the USB slot is working ok, because it reads a thumb drive just fine. Thanks!

I have had no problem with the one USB keyboard I've tried. It's a generic Apple clone from Deal Extreme.
No luck with Bluetooth keyboards though.
i could not get it to work with wireless USB keyboards but it did work with a dell USB keyboard.
it works with a logitech wireless keyboard
(I just realized that this is in the Dev section - mods, please move if needed!)
I tried a Dell keyboard, and it worked. One of the things I really hoped was going to work was the GTab case/usb keyboard combo ...the A500 fits perfectly in this case, even more snuggly than the GTab. I can't understand why it doesn't work.

USB keyboard
Got a case/stand for my vega for £20 of amazon which has a built in usb keyboard, tried it on the iconia works 100%
Actually I think having mouse support would be nicer, maybe in imminent 3.1 release.
KEyboard
I did not have a regular USB keyboard laying around so I tried a PS/2 using a PS/2 to USB adapter and worked perfect.

Just posted in the "Iconia A500 Accessories" forum... I tested the Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro for PS3 (bluetooth keybd) and it worked !
Something people may need to note: When I plug a keyboard in while the screen is off, or is locked, it does not work. If I first login, THEN plug in the keyboard (Logitech multimedia USB keyboard) it works great.
i tried some cheap micro keyboard+trackpad combo (about as wide as the tablet in landscape) & had issues. Only time it worked was when I was in the URL bar of the browser, "physical keyboard" showed as an input type option. Anywhere else it just sat plugged in. I may steal my dad's Mac BT keyboard since he doesn't use it. Will clash horribly though
I've got it running on a BT Keyboard/mouse device Works great... I've had issues with the headphones plug not stopping my music... (listen to Hard Rock at work and everyone hears it =(oops).. pull headphones and plug them back in... lots of really little niggles that need to be worked out... hopefully acer will find them all with the update next month!!!

Ohhhh! I've always wondered about that keyboard! Does the trackpad work? How's typing with that keypad?
Touch pad works great for pc and playstation 3... etc... but for the acer it does nothing... Arrows work to get from item to item typing works great... I believe an update will/can allow mouse...
FYI... this device comes with it's own bt usb adapter that is really weak however, when connected to a bluetooth device has decent distance.

How's the hardware? Solid? Connectivity in and out? And how easy/difficult was it to pair? I've read that a lot of these no-name devices don't come with specific instructions on pairing.

Pairing was as simple (on my samsung epic) as searching for devices.
1. push the bluetooth button till the light blinks
2. Search for devices
3. type in a passcode on phone/device
4. type that passcode on the keyboard
I think this is how it was done... worked really well first time to my epic... easily connected on my a500 too. I love the keyboad it works with my entertainment pc that has sagetv on it so controlling the 47" from the couch is awesome.
edit: Hardware is really solid and the bt usb device slides into the keyboard... really convenient
I managed to pair with my Apple wireless KB but no love for typing.

[Q] USB Mouse and keyboard keep disconnecting

I'm a noob, not sure where else to get help on this site about my problem... I'm using a ASUS Notebook K53E Series laptop computer running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1... I'm using a HDMI to project onto a HD TV I have a USB keyboard and mouse hooked up, both Logitech... The problem I'm having is, both the mouse and keyboard keep disconnecting on me... The mouse will go first' I'll move it from one USB port to the other, and it will work, but then stop working again... The keyboard will just stop working, even if I move it I can't get it to reconnect... I have to shutdown my computer to get everything to start working again, but it will only last about a half hour before they stop working again after the reboot... I've went into the device manager, under Universal Serial Bus controllers > Generic USB Hub > properties > Power Management, and unchecked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power... This does not help... I then uninstalled it, and rebooted my computer, still doesn't help... I then tried to system restore, I couldn't because I had no restore points, I have no idea why I didn't... I then look if there was any system updates, there was, but minor updates, I updated them anyways, still no go... I'm only having problems with the USB mouse and keyboard... My laptop touch pad and everything else works fine...:fingers-crossed:
... why are you looking for help here? This isn't a tech support forum, it's a dev&hacking forum. It's also not a Win7 forum... there are better places on the Internet to ask for Win7 support! Asus themselves would be a more logical choice, for example.
You could try checking the Event Logs for any abnormal USB events, but I don't really know. Are there any other mice / keyboards you could try, or could you try the ones you have on another computer? Does it work at all to just unplug the mouse/keyboard and plug it in again? Do the devices lose power (lights go out) or do they simply stop responding correctly? Do other USB devices (phone, camera, webcam, headset, flashdrive, whatever) keep on working if you leave them plugged in for a while?

Sorry, like I said I'm a noob... The reason I asked here, because I thought it was a general question for windows OS... I do understand its windows 8 tho... I also didn't want to join some random site to get my answer... I also checked event logs, but I'm not sure how to use it... I have no other computers or mice/ keyboards to test with... The lights stay on, like their still connected, but they don't work... I've pulled them out, and plugged them back in, and even put them in other USB ports... But they will only work for a short while after moving them to a new USB port... They will no longer work in the same port after they stop working until I reboot... I'm also not sure if it's ASUS or Logitech thats the problem...

GPD XD OTG Issues

Hello everyone, I hope this is the right section where to post, I have scrolled down the home page until I've found this one. This is an android console based on Rockchip cpu so I guessed I'd give it a try with my problem. If not please forgive my dumbness and move the thread.
I have bought a GPD XD console that works very flawlessly beside one big huge damn problem I am not able to resolve.
One day I tried to hook it to my TV and looks great. Then I wanted to connect my 360 wired controller via USB otg. No luck. Then I tried ps3. Same. Ps4 controller? Again nothing appears on screen. Mouse, keyboards, flash drives, just nothing. Also updated it to last firmware. Tried 3 usb otg cables, 2 cheap one and one with gold plated connectors that costs more (dunno if this changes).
So I tried some of the methods I've found online to test the otg support and actually otg support is ok. What wasn't ok therefore, is that I had to download 3 xml files and putting then into permissions folder and allow them but still nothing happens. Downloaded then a vold file to put it into etc folder and again nothing works. The apps i've tried all tells me the otg support is ok but find me no otg signal
Actually usb port works for charging the device or make it visible to pc but this damn otg won't work.
I tried almost anything, . I am kinda noob at this but if usb works for charging and pc I can assume is a software issue and not an hardware one, or is it possibile the otg function depends on usb port "broken" even if usb port works for other operations?
Please I would be very glad if you could help me. Since it's passed too much time for a refund and send it back in China for a replacement will costs me a lot and takes like months if not one year as I've read around.
