The Insignia™ NS-PNC5001 keyboard and USB optical mouse use a wired USB connection and should work with Windows without requiring additional drivers. If either device stops responding or is not recognized, try the following troubleshooting steps.
- Check the USB connections: Disconnect the keyboard and mouse, then reconnect them to different USB ports on your computer.
- Try another USB port: If possible, connect both devices directly to the computer rather than through a USB hub.
- Restart Windows: Restart the computer with the keyboard and mouse connected.
- Check Device Manager: Right-click Start, select Device Manager, and look for warning symbols under Keyboards and Mice and other pointing devices.
- Test on another computer: Connect the keyboard and mouse to another PC to determine whether the problem is with the peripherals or the original computer.
- Check for physical damage: Inspect the USB cables and connectors for visible damage, loose connections, or bent pins.
- Check Windows updates: Install available Windows updates, particularly if the devices stopped working after a recent system change.
Note: If both devices stop working at the same time, the problem may be related to the computer's USB ports, USB controller, or chipset drivers rather than the keyboard and mouse themselves.
