PS/2 mice and keyboards used their own cables for USB and VGA, and only used standard VGA cables with no USB connection for a shared keyboard and mouse. stops responding a few minutes after switching on. The LEDs remain lit when there is no AC power when using a USB/VGA combo cable. The device may be drawing too much current from the AC and USB inputs.
