- Try plugging the USB connector into a different USB port on your computer.
- Restart your computer with the adapter and devices connected.
- Verify that your PS/2 keyboard and mouse are functional when connected directly to a PS/2 port (if available) or with another adapter.
- Intermitterende funktionalitet:
- Check for loose connections at all points (PS/2 devices to adapter, adapter to USB port).
- Ensure the USB port provides sufficient power. While bus-powered, some older or unpowered USB hubs might not provide enough power for both devices. Try connecting directly to a computer's USB port.
- No Drivers Found:
The Adesso ADP-PU21 is designed to be plug-and-play and does not require specific software drivers. If your operating system prompts for drivers, it may indicate an issue with the adapter itself or the USB port. Try the steps for "Devices Not Recognized."
