USB power while PC is off
paigeoliver:
I would consider lit trackball while the machine is off to be a bonus, not a problem.
Sephroth57:
yeah lit trackball looks cool, and its not like you need to worry about it burning out not like its a normal lightbulb or something
RayB:
This is a known problem. I used to have my mouse plugged into a USB port, and I had the same problem with the LED in it staying lit. The solution is to get one of those little USB to PS/2 adapters and use that. The PS2 port does NOT stay powered.
krick:
2600 is correct. most newer motherboards either have the USB standby power as an option in the BIOS or as a jumper on the motherboard (I think this is more common).
Post the motherboard model number and we'll try to help
Javaman:
Did you guys buy a ready built USB LED or build it yourself? I read that it's as simple as splitting off the 5v and ground and hooking both up to a 5volt led (with the correct polarity obviously) Do you guys see any potential problems with this? Thx!
