When the keyboard/mouse won't work

With wireless equipment, all sorts of things can stop or impair the working thereof - for example, people or furniture between keyboard and receiver, distance and direction, although these vary from one room to another!

When the mouse or keyboard stops working altogether:

• take the batteries out, warm them in your hands and put them back
• move people, furniture etc
• re-introduce the kit (mouse or keyboard) to the wireless gizmo by pressing the black oval button on the top of the gizmo and at the same time pushing the small grey connect button on the bottom of the kit - you will need a pen or a small child to do this.

When all else fails, just hitch up a steam-driven old-fashioned cable-connected keyboard to the purple port on the back of the PC.
