I can no longer use the ps/2 mouse port, says keyboard is not present, but
the keyboard works fine. I tried installing a new ps/2 mouse with the same
results. ps/2 port went south for good it looks like. However, if I use a
usb mouse everything is OK with no errors. My question is, can the ps/2 port
be repaired somehow? Is there a stuck bit somewhere? I know I should and
will be content with the usb mouse but, I would like my ps/2 port back. I
remember back in the early 90's when some mobos had a micro fuse. Any
components level experts out there?

Hi,
There may be a micro fuse for PS2 mouse port. Right behind the connector
on the motherboard. It may have blown.
