HP Pavilion p7-1015uk Mouse and keyboard issues

[deadone]

hi all, 

recently got myself the HP Pavilion p7-1015uk and im happy so far.

i do have something thats driving me crazy and thats the mouse and keyboard most of the time are unusable.

they are the wireless version without the button on the dongle.

i have tried everything and it just seems that the signal from dongle is not strong enough.

my tower is not even at arms length from mouse/KB but still the same isues.

also i have another 200gig hdd which i removed from my old system, can i just add this straight into this machine and use it as a storage device.

kind regards

Mick

Hi,

Try replacing the batteries in the mouse and keyboard.  Also try this posted article as it contains a lot of good tips.

Your PC is still under warranty so I would contact HP Support about your mouse and keyboard issue.

HP's support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or online here.  UK,  try here.

If the hard drive is a 3.5" sata hard drive then I don't see an issue.

These HP 'how-to" articles should be helpful.

Lokk around inside the PC for the existing hard drive for a power connector.

thank you big dave for the reply back.

anyway after following the solutions you lined me to and trying them most of the night.

i have still got the same issues.

i telephoned HP this morning and they also went through through the process with me. still no luck so they are going to replace to Mouse and keyboard and i should have it in a few days time.

as for adding my old hdd i have this type of connection
