Some desktops have bad front USB ports. Some really old machines have blown keyboard fuses on the motherboard. Here, we have your post and no machine details.

Check your battery setting & set up properly. Then you set your USB/Normal port to your laptop/desktop PC. Do not set port in running PC. Turn off your PC then set up port. Then on your computer. Hope that solved your problem. If you set the keyboard in running pc you face the problem. In that time you give restart your pc you can solve it.
