Still having issues with mouse on my Indigo.

Last night after cleaning, it worked fine for all the 5 hours I spent surfing the 90s porn.

Today.. no joy.. Back to it's random catch the chicken state.

Taking into account, the mouse plugs into the keyboard and the keyboard is standard..

Has anyone plugged a PS/2 Mouse into the keyboard of these machines? I know it's stated you must use the Indigo Keyboard.. but mouse?

I'm not going to do it until I have it confirmed it's ok.. otherwise I'll have to search for a new keyboard and mouse until it's then discovered it's a motherboard issue.

Thanks..

A PS2 mouse would be fried by the high voltages that are present on an Indigo. It might also damage the keyboard or the computer.

It was a bad idea and incorrect.. the problem is defiantly some sort heat related issue, maybe with a capacitator.

Cold boot .. doesn't work.
Leave turned on for an hour.. works perfectly!

Are Indigo Mice hard to find? Wouldn't it be easier to just replace your mouse?

They are not PS/2 mice.
