Keyboard & Mouse LED's fail to turn off when PC shuts down

[John Gudgin]

Can anybody out there please help me.
I am running Windows XP Home SP2.
I have an AMD Athlon processor.

When I switch my pc off, the LED's on the keyboard and in mouse fail to
switch off.
I know that this never used to be the case with the keyboard and I'm quite
sure it shouldn't be the case with the mouse (but not sure, as its always
been the case).

The only way I can get the LED's to turn off is to completely switch off
from electric socket.
Is there anything in the settings that I can change to make the LED's on
keyboard and mouse turn off when PC shuts down?

Mny thanks, in advance.
John.

If you use Hibernation instead of Standby, the lights will go off.

you may have not knowingly plugged your mouse and keyboard into the ports the
wrong way try unplugging them and look for any bent pins then plug them back
in

Hello,

You will have to enter the BIOS Setup, there should be a message telling you
how to enter before the XP logo appears on start-up.

Look for entries similar to Wake Up On Activity and disable them for the
keyboard and mouse.
