Difficulty

Easy

Steps

Time Required

4 - 5 minutes

Introduction

HP Pavilion Wave comes with a pair of built-in mouse and keyboard. This guide shows you how to replace them without using any additional USB-port for your mouse and keyboard.

Tools

Parts

Wireless keyboard and mouse

Step 1

Turn over the computer and remove the rubber feet.
Remove the 8mm Philips screws indicated in red circles with a Philips #0 screwdriver.
Use a pry tool and lift the lid.

Step 2

Pry open the casing from the back of the IO panel, as shown in the pictures.

Step 3

Finally, remove the two cables circled in red from the front IO panel.

Step 4

Locate a blue USB adapter on the left side of the hard disk compartment.

Step 5

Take off the USB with gentle but firm pressure.
This is a single USB adapter for both mouse and keyboard, so you must get a wireless mouse and keyboard pair, or you will have to use the extra USB for the other one.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Seems like there might be enough room for a usb 2 port hub/splitter (such as Onvian USB Splitter Cable Male to 2 Female Adapter USB) to add an additional usb dongle (such an RF or Insteon USB)? Can you confirm how much room there are?

Since it's a year old project, I forgot most of the dimensions, but from my memory, it would be possible since it's located in a little groove that can probably fit a wire or two. (You can see it in step one picture)

Can i purchase this dongle anywhere? Is there any documentation on how to pair?

I want to use my keyboard/mouse combo on a different computer. Can I just move the dongle from the Wave to the new computer? Why do I have to remove the red wires?

Thank you!
