Presario 7994; Parts/Advice Wanted
I am looking for a couple of the blank-off plates for the drive bays and
the door for the front. Also, The mouse is not being detected. I am using an USB mouse but will be using the computer primarily in DOS mode and would like to fix it. I suspect the connector on the motherboard. The computer detects the port but not the mouse. The mouse works fine on another computer. Has anyone run into this problem before? I am going to try re soldering the connector in case it has come loose, but the connector appears to be worn and may be no good. Can anyone suggest a source for the female plug? TIA Chuck |

No,
I have had no luck getting it to work in DOS. I am using the USB mouse temporarily till I can figure out why it won't recognize the PS2 mouse. If you know how to get the USB mouse to work under DOS, PLEASE let me know. :-} Thanks for the info on the door.

Sorry, but I know of no way a USB mouse will work in DOS since DOS has no
native support for USB. Possibly a USB to PS2 adapter??? Why not just use a PS2 mouse? HH "ka6uup" wrote in message m... No, I have had no luck getting it to work in DOS.

Some motherboards with a more generic BIOS than Compaq's have legacy USB
support, with the right low-level BIOS mapping for a USB keyboard to work in DOS. As to whether or not a USB mouse will work in DOS with legacy USB support enabled, I don't know. I have not had the time to experiment. I sort of doubt it, unless Logitech or maybe some 3rd party driver developer has written a mouse driver that works with a USB mouse. There are some other USB DOS drivers lurking around...

In DOS, USB keyboard, yes, mouse no. Just spend $10 on a PS/2 mouse.

The PS/ mouse doesn't work.
See previous emails. There is something wrong with the connector Chuck HH wrote: In DOS, USB keyboard, yes, mouse no. Just spend $10 on a PS/2 mouse.
