USB power while PC is off

<< < (2/5) > >>

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!
