Problems and Solutions

PS/2 scroll mouse does not work

On some models the internal pointing device (pointing stick or TouchPad) must be disabled before the scroll feature on an optional external mouse can be supported. Some of these models include a utility, often called the Setup utility, in which you can set the system to disable the internal pointing device when an optional mouse is in use.

Disconnect the scroll mouse, initiate Standby, then reconnect the scroll mouse. (To resume use of the TouchPad on some models, you must initiate Standby or shut down the notebook, then disconnect the scroll mouse.)

USB keyboard or pointing device does not work

Refer to your model-specific documentation for information about USB legacy support.
