when I was working hardware repair a few years ago the shop I was in had 5-10 machines a month (within the first year warranty) that would show up with the complaint "keyboard/mouse will not work). The usual fix was to replace the fuse for the keyboard (soldered onto the MLB). hot plugging your keyboard/mouse can cost you!
