Hello, I recently build my own computer and everything went well. When tring to go into the BIOS (or safemode) I noticed that my USB keyboard would not respond. It would only respond after windows loaded. I figured the problem was probably in the Bios and what happened was that the USB option was not enabled there. So I ordered a PS/2 to usb adapter from ebay..the auction claimed it worked with keyboards. I just got the adapter today and it is green (color of mouse port). I plugged it into the purple port (keyboard port) and then tried it out just to find out that it does not work. The keyboard will not work at all when it is plugged into the PS/2 adapter. I can tell that no power is going into the keyboard because when I press caps lock or # lock the little leds wont turn on. The keyboard does not work at all with the adapter, even after windows is fully loaded. Thinking the adapter might not work i tried it with my USB mouse. I plugged the adapter into the green port (mouse PS/2 port) and saw that the laser of the mouse turned on (so it was receiving power). But even after loading windows fully the mouse will not respond.
Do I need any drivers or something to get the adapter to work? or was i scammed?
This is not urgent but I want to be able to get into the BIOS incase I ever need/want to?
What should I do?
Thanks in advance,
