Default Really odd problem with customers PC

Was just at a customers house trying to work out why her PC wont power up.

Tried everything from chaning RAM to PSU to CPU.

Turned out to be a PS2 mouse.

I know :shock:

Unpluged the mouse to move it and it booted straight up.

Sparks.

Do you know why the Ps2 mouse was causing this problem? As it would be interesting to know why, just incase I ever encounter this problem, if that would be possible

Thanks

I would hazard a guess that the mouse was shorting inside which was causing the motherboard not to power on.

I've seen this before also and I was defiantly the mouse at fault, changed mouse and all worked fine so the mouse must have became faulty inside, altho' I never thought there to be many parts inside a mouse.

Mine won't boot windows with the ipod pluged into the USB Hub. I used to have a problem with a mouse stopping it booting up I think that was in a USB. I just have to remember to unplug the IPod before I switch on.
