Wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working altogether
Hello,
hopefully I have titled this post properly....
I have been using Win 7 Home Premium on a new build PC for about two months now. I initially used a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse with a Logitech unifying receiver. I type close to a hundred words a minute, and it was having a hard time keeping up with me, or so it seemed. The mouse also has to be right next to the back of the tower (which is on the floor beside my chair about two feet max from the right of the desk where I prefer to have the mouse, being right handed), in order to work without noticeable lag.
I tried using it with it plugged in to recharge constantly; made no difference. Eventually, I switched to a MS keyboard and mouse. No difference at all. I was still using those right up until this morning, when I threw the keyboard across the room with some venom. (You will see why.)
I didn't shut down my PC when I went to bed last night. Got up this morning, replied to a couple of things on Facebook and updated my status. Went to reply to someone else's status and bang! - my keyboard is not working at all. I checked every key. I reinstalled the drivers. I disconnected and reconnected. Rebooted the PC several times. Threw keyboard across room; picked up keys and battery cover and popped all back into place. Reinstalled Logitech mouse and keyboard with a new unifying receiver.
My keyboard still does not work. The mouse does. I can open web pages and new wordpad pages but cannot type a single letter. I am typing this on my husband's PC as he is at work. He is also running Win 7 HP and has had no issues at all; his PC was also built by him almost two years ago, he updated his OS recently and everything has worked fine (apart from IE 9 being a waste of space, but we all know that already.)
I use Google Chrome.
The motherboard is an Asus with the latest Phenom (4? it was the latest, as of three months ago, I think!)It says M4A87TD EVO on the front of the handbook.
Help?! Please?
