Shaneee Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hello, My USB Mouse and keyboard have stopped working on my 10.6.8 installation and my test 10.7 on my AMD Machine in my signature. They were working before and I haven't changed anything to do with USB. How can I fix it?

eep357 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Since it's 2 installs with same problem, look to bios config first, then maybe loose hardware connection from mobo, or a short caused by either a device plugged in, a smashed port or some debris in one of the ports. Hopefully it's not a failure for the entire board. If unable to find problem, check if windows or linux it has same problem to rule out complete hardware failure.

Shaneee Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 It works in windows which is the strange thing. It's not a bios setting as I have not changed anything there Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282668-usb-stopped-working/#findComment-1851623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I would still suspect a bios setting, even if you didn't change them. Dying bios battery or even though it's AMD something could have triggered a cmos reset. I assume you tried different ports already Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282668-usb-stopped-working/#findComment-1851637 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried USB Fix and USB Legacy off and still nothing.

Matt35 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 It works for installation ? And for the first boot ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282668-usb-stopped-working/#findComment-1851840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 OK, it works in windows, very good to know. When booting osx, in verbose boot (if you can type -v) look for a line saying "USB over current, something, something" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282668-usb-stopped-working/#findComment-1851858 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaneee Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Fixed it. It seemed to be the boot order. Swapped the HDD's round and its working again.
