Logitech Illuminated Keyboard Not Working After PC Hibernation—USB Port Issue?

285 9

Best answers

Why does my Logitech illuminated USB keyboard stop working after the PC resumes from hibernation until I unplug and reconnect it?

The issue is more likely Windows/USB wake handling than a USB port needing a “kick-start”; the PC may not be re-scanning the keyboard properly when it comes out of hibernation [#21678436] Check Device Manager for the USB keyboard and make sure the Power Management option “Allow this device to wake computer” is enabled [#21678440] Also verify that “Allow computer to turn off this device to save power” is unticked, or left greyed out as on some systems [#21678440] One suggested workaround was trying the keyboard through a powered USB hub, but the thread’s main technical advice was to review the keyboard’s wake/power settings rather than assume the port lacks current [#21678439][#21678440]

Am I right in thinking that a USB port has to be kick-started into action with an initial high(er) load before it operates? My Logitech illuminated keyboard won't work again once my PC hibernates, I have to unplug and reconnect it. I suspected that the USB port fails to trigger into operation again when the PC resumes.
The number of times I've started typing blindly only to find the keyboard isn't connected... Others have suggested a powered USB hub might do the trick.

Was your keyboard illuminated when you "started typing blindly only to find the keyboard isn't connected"? If so, the problem isn't USB power, but rather your PC not re-scanning (or whatever the correct term is) for USB devices upon coming out of hibernation.

@ Peter, that's a good question -- I'll find the answer next time it stops working and report back.

It just happened again - the (illuminated Logitech) USB keyboard isn't illuminated when the PC wakes up, I have to unconnect and reconnect it. For bus powered USB peripherals I thought the port needed to deliver up to 100mA before it finished configuring. Maybe it's a power supply issue.

So the USB power to your keyboard is not coming back on when your PC comes out of hibernation. How do you trigger your PC to come out of hibernation? A USB mouse, perhaps?
For bus-powered USB, the host port on the PC can deliver up to 500 mA at 5 V, and each port on a hub can deliver up to 100 mA.

Alan,
Goto device manager, select the USB keyboard, right click and select properties. From the properties menu, look for the 'Power Management' tab. The 'Allow this device to wake computer' should be ticked. Also check the 'Allow computer to turn off this device to save power' option is unticked or as on my PC greyed out.I'm assuming you use Windows.

Ian, thanks, I've looked at that (Windows 7) and Allow device etc is ticked and Allow computer etc is in fact greyed out like yours. Elsewhere I'm reading how some users of Logitech illuminated keyboards are having the same problem, one suggestion is to try through a powered hub, or untick Allow device to wake computer instead, which I'll do next.

Go to device managerSelect the USB keyboard,Right click and select propertiesFrom the properties menuLook for the Power Management tabif you are stuck and not getting any option you can also take the important instruction from the and it will be useful.The Allow this device to wake computer should be ticked. Also check the Allow computer to turn off this device to save power option is un-ticked or as on my PC grayed out.

Topic summary

A Logitech illuminated USB keyboard fails to reconnect automatically after a PC resumes from hibernation, requiring manual unplugging and re-plugging. The issue may stem from the USB port not reinitializing power or failing to rescan USB devices upon wake. Bus-powered USB ports typically supply up to 500 mA at 5 V, with hubs delivering up to 100 mA per port, which may affect device power-up. Windows device manager settings under the Power Management tab are critical: enabling "Allow this device to wake the computer" and disabling or ensuring "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is unticked or greyed out can influence device behavior. Some users report that connecting the keyboard through a powered USB hub can resolve the problem. The problem appears common among Logitech illuminated keyboard users, suggesting a combination of USB power management and device wake settings as the root cause.
