  1. Is it possible to use keyboard/mouse to turn pc on ?


    Hello,

    A few days ago my Asus desktop pc will only turn on by pressing power on button several times until pc starts..so i
    ordered another power switch cable from Asus spares ...but unfortunately the one ordered did not come with the plastic switch holder as it is unavailable....i can't use this pc now.

    When fitting the power switch into the existing holder one of the lugs inside the holder broke therefore the small power microswitch does not sit in properly.

    My question is can... another mouse be used to turn on pc...by assigning say the right mouse button as 'power on'

    I believe you have go into the bios-power management settings somewhere ...and would plugging a secondary mouse cause some issues with the main primary one.

    Using a back up pc for now.

    Thank you

    :)

    PC turns on, No signal, keyboard/mouse.


    Do you own or can you borrow/get hold of a multimeter?

    What is your beep code? These are the codes listed by Asus for your board.

    Hi,

    One reason why your mouse and keyboard is not working is because of an outdated driver. We suggest that you update the mouse and keyboard driver by following the steps below:

    • Pres Windows+X key on your keyboard.
    • Select Device Manager.
    • Locate the mouse and keyboard drivers, right click, then click on Update.
