Are the devices plugged into the write ports? PS/2 ports are non interchangable. I doub't the ports are fried try another keyboard and or Mouse.

no. it was jus the keyboard and mouse were f*cked. thats why he thought it was the pc because the mouse and keyboard had gone. it hadnt been used for years....but when the new keyboard was pluged in it worked...
