Solved wireless USB keyboard fails to wake

[RogerR]

• Fresh Win7 install on new SSD following SATA OS drive failure.
• Logitech wireless keyboard (K800) and mouse (M310) plugged in to case (not hub)
• drivers updated
• no issues on previous W7 installation

Machine does not wake on keyboard or mouse. If I plug an old wired USB mouse in the machine wakes, but will accept no input from wireless keyboard or mouse.


I've toggled all the windows settings I can find that allow the devices to wake up the machine. Mobo BIOS is set to wake S3 with USB.


There are many threads on the topic and I have read many of them - including the tutorial.

Roger if you used the Windows driver feature (not a fan) it isn't that goodand I always get drivers from the manufacturer where possible and I think thisis the one for the keyboard that you want

This is the one for the mouse http://www.logitech.com/en-au/support/wireless-mouse-m310?crid=398&osid=14&bit=64
Try and let us know how it goes if it doesn't do the trick then maybe you might have to reset the BIOS to a default one - I am not sure on that though.

Thanks ICit2lol, it has started working again in its own ... But I'm d/ling those drivers anyway!

Batteries?
I spent half a day chasing a dead wireless keyboard. Forgot it has batteries

GrayGhost2 been there before.
Now I buy batteries in 32 packs. Never know when you need them.
My Microsoft mouse and keyboards have a blinking light when the batteries are getting low. Does your Logitech mouse and keyboard do the same?

EDIT:

Partition worked just fine.

Rechargeable batteries are my solution, provided I remember to "recharge" the dead'ns. Otherwise a frantic dash in the dead of night to buy throw-aways.

Just a followup - the keyboard has rechargeable built-in via USB and an indicator. The Logitech Unifying Software also has a battery tester - very thoughtful and a recommended product.

I never did find out what the issue was but it has been faithfully waking up from the keyboard ever since. Thanks to all who responded.

Glad it worked out

I discovered (the hard way) charging through PC USB is very weak.
