Product: Pavillion Wave
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've got a Pavillion Wave PC. I was told that there's two USB ports hidden inside to put the wireless mouse and keyboard dongles into. Is this true and where are they located?  I don't want to go to the trouble of cracking it open for nothing if this isn't true.

@mikesersig,

I do not find any internal USB headers that you could split power. Suggest the following.

Greetings,

Welcome back to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

Internal motherboard USB headers (if the Wave had additional USB headers) would not directly connect to external USB devices.

@mikesersig,

How about the exact model number?    600-101ng     600-a310   both have 2 back external USB ports visible.

Wireless keyboard/mouse combo only use 1 dongle, not 2.

Sorry, mine's  an HP Pavilion Wave 600-a014. It does have two USB ports in the rear and one in the front. My mouse and keyboard that came with the PC do each have their own  USB dongle. This is why I'm asking about hidden USB ports, I was told that there are two of them. I figured if anyone would know of them it would be HP Support Community members.
