Raspberry Pi 4 not detecting my Keyboard or Mouse
October 3, 2024, 17:16
Hey everyone
so i bought a Raspberry Pi 4 a few days ago, and today i decided to hop on and start learning about it even more, however i tried to plug my keyboard and mouse, none of them worked
I reinstalled PiOS, again neither worked, my mouse gets a dim light which indicates its getting power but no response on the Raspberry Pi
i really need your help, thank you very much!
forgot to mention, I plugged the ethernet cable, it does work so my USB Ports aren't broken or anything
they just stopped working randomly
are you using a reliable power supply
i used 4 different ones
a 45w(which did work but im guessing it was overpower so i changed it)
a 25w
a 10w
and my pc port
yeah don't use your pc port
what's the voltage and amps
for which one?
45 or 25 or 10?
the 10w is 5v 2a
Raspberry Pi 4 power supply spec:

Some data about power consumption:
https://discord.com/channels/818384379197784084/1196069993331310702
thing is, power consumption was doing good for me
it used to work, all ports worked but for some reason it stopped working
my mouse gets power as mentioned but it isn't working nor lighting up completely
I just wanted you to have correct info about power supply/consumption.
Does the green LED flicker/blink?
The green LED = Activity, the red LED = Power
I get both
Can you connect to the Pi from another computer via SSH ?
i don't know how to do that, and i formatted the SD card and reinstalled the OS
so i am still on the setup screen
If you use Raspberry Pi Imager you have a chooise for SSH, WiFi, User name and such.
And install the "Lite" version to test first
so i install the lite version before i choose my SSH and what not
if it doesn't work then i go to the 64 and choose the SSH?
And do you have a second mouse/keyboard to try with?
well my main keyboard and mouse but i can use those
64?
yes
What is 64? Your language is quite cryptic.
ah sorry
i meant x64, os version
okay, done that for the lite version keyboard and mouse still do not work
And SSH?
done that too but im getting a no host found error
Try with the IP
my public ip or my raspberry ip?
Raspberry Pi
how do i get that cause i cannot control my raspberry pi
As thats the device you are SSHing to
Your router or a IP scanner should reveal that
ill use an ip scanner but the raspberry pi is connected via lan through my phone, will the ip scanner still detect it?
"ethernet cable" through the phone?
yeah, because my router is quite far and i only have 1 extra short eth cable, i use a usb-c dock which comes with an eth port to share the eth from the dock to the Pi
i think i found its IP, cause i have one named "localhost" so im guessing thats the one?
i unplugged and replugged the eth cable, and on the raspberry pi it showed me an IP, is that the one?
<@796000224690307072> this may sound stupid but
if i plugged a 45w charger to the pi, would that fry the usb ports? if so, how comes HDMI still works and i was able to use it before?
If you have a 1L glass of water and start drinking it, will you drown then?
The same about watt, the watt on a PSU is what the PSU can deliver to the consumer, So the consumer can consume up to what the PSU can deliver.
And all electronic consist of a lot of components and a MCU consists of millions pf transistor, resistors and other components and each of them fan fail.
