A child who has just started to crawl and study everything around him may accidentally press the power button or restart on the system unit. Of course, the computer can be moved from the floor to the table, but the easier way is to set up the mouse.
Necessary
Computer with PS / 2 mouse
Instructions
Step 1
Since now every second computer is equipped with at least one USB device (mouse or keyboard), it is recommended to look for a PS / 2 mouse. The power on and off function by means of a mouse is configured through the BIOS Setup menu and still does not support USB components (some motherboards do not start with a keyboard with this type of interface).
Step 2
To load the BIOS, you need to restart your computer using the standard Start menu or using the Power button on your keyboard (if available). After the first lines appear on the screen, press the Delete, F2 or Tab key (depending on the hardware). The BIOS Setup menu looks like a blue screen with several function lines.
Step 3
Navigation here is carried out using the arrow keys and function keys. Find the Power Management Setup section in the menu and navigate to it: highlight it and press Enter. In the list that opens, you need to find the line Power on Function or Power On by PS2. The choice of this or that item depends on the model of your motherboard.
Step 4
Then you need to select the power-on method that you prefer. For example, to activate the power on mode using the left mouse button, select the Mouse Left option, respectively, the Mouse Right value will be correct for the right mouse button. It is also possible to set the keyboard as a catalyst: to press any key, you should select Any Key and Hot Key for a certain combination.
Step 5
It remains only to exit the settings editing mode, to do this, press the F10 key and accept the changes by entering Yes from the keyboard. Press Enter to restart your computer. Turn off your computer and try turning it on with your mouse.
