Help with my Korean Board
« on: Fri, 15 November 2013, 02:54:13 »
I have just bought a custom made korean board .  It uses a ps2avr PCB. When i plug it in, the led will flash for a split second then it would turn off. And sometimes when you press a key, it would light up the whole board. And pressing on the keys dosent register.
Anyone know what is going on?

It's a PS2 board, meaning not native plug-n-play USB. You need to have the cable already plugged in, then turn the computer on.

If that's an A87 PS2AVR, you can try holding down "U" as you plug it in for default USB mode.

DUH, you don't know that ps2 devices need the computer to be restarted?

No offence, but are you under 12? Only people born in the 21st century will be so unfamiliar with ps2 devices!

Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

You should go easy on him. I had the same 'issue' when I first joined GH, but with an Access-IS keyboard. We all have a lot to learn.

Any time someone says "no offense, but" you can bet they intend offend.  The spelling correction is free, jerkwad.

No offence, but there's nothing wrong with using the British spelling of words.

Let's keep this on topic please. If you have a bone to pick with another user, please PM them about it.

Rude and undeserved. Either you are under 12 yourself and/or you are just a jerk.

And for your information, with some computers/keyboards, you can hotplug a PS/2 keyboard and there is no problem at all.

Nothing wrong. That would have been his only excuse for his rude post.

Yup.  Some people haven't used PS/2 anything in a while either.  I haven't actively used PS/2 is something like 10 or 15 years, so it's not something I'd hold onto memory wise either.
