My Usb Keyboard Turning 360 Magically On
« on: January 26, 2007, 06:40:00 PM »
Hi everyone...

Didn't know where to put this, so I leave it in hardware...


Well, this happened already twice, today at morning and evening, my USB keyboard, a Perfect Choice (not to good but for 360 only) is turning my 360 On After several hours of being shuted down (leaving the keyb attached), I don't know what's happening....


Someone explain this to me please.


I'll de-attach the controller and see what happens, and I'll try to take timing this takes.



.::Edit::. Forgot to say, repaired this keyb with aluminium Paper because there wasn't conductive ink in stores, but I don't think that's the problem, I know what I did (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)!

you seem to have a short or something somehow turning on the xbox.. But it shoudnt turn on the xbox. Does it turn it off when  you ahve it on for a few hours?

Six hours are to much for a wait. but now, there isn't any shortage, triple checked, and no traces, will do the same with another 360 and a PC

for some freaky reason your keyboard might have something with it that makes the xbox turn itself on.. A verry easy cure if to unplu it after play (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

all i know is when i have a USB keyboards hooked up to my 360, is that if i touch a key it will turn on.

woah - just checked - mine doesent do that anymore - one of the the upgrades?

woah!  it only does that with one of my USB keyboards! - My Compaq internet keyboard.

the other 2 keyboards i tried are a Micro Innovations keyboard and a Logitech Playstation2 Gaming keyboard - those dont turn on the 360 when their keys are pressed.

i figure you have a keyboard that allows it to turn on the 360 and that it has a keep-alive function that is causing your 360 to come out of standby. (as it is never really off unlesss it's unplugged)

you may be right....


The Auto-power on event takes about 6 to 7 hours. I know that Unplugging the keyboard will stop this, but that was curiosity to find an answer....

yeah if I press a button on my keyboard it turns on my 360. It took me a while to figure out why it was on every now and then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
