Hello folks,

I have here a HP Pavilion Trigem Imperial motherboard (I know, I know, they are junk). This one has not blown the capacitors by the CPU (yet).

Anyway, whenever I have a PS2 mouse plugged into it, and power it on, it never goes past the blue HP screen. Cannot get into BIOS or recovery screens either. However, when I unplug the mouse, and restart, it functions normally.

Like i said, there are NO blown or leaking caps on it.

Anyone ever encountered this? I have replaced the caps on several of these, with mixed results. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Thanks,

A
