Re: [PLUG] haunted mouse?
|
If you have parts you can replace parts on your machine with, all I can
say is try to test them. I found a similar error had to do with the power
supply. In my case, the mouse and the keyboard were being flakey. I
checked the monitor card, the monitor, the microprocessor, the memory. I
unhooked unnecessary functions. I would have tested the keyboard bios if
I had a chip to replace it with.
