Supa Posted January 28, 2010 Content Count: 1765 Joined: 12/30/09 Status: Offline Share Posted January 28, 2010 So my wireless mouse stopped working yesterday. It's like it just died. I thought maybe it was the batteries, but I put new batteries in and the problem of it not working still occurred. I have a feeling my drunk roommate came into the room and somehow broke it. Not sure how, I'm maybe thinking water damage?? Not sure though. Is there any safe way of opening the mouse and cleaning it to try and get it working. I really don't want to buy a new wireless mouse, but I will if I must. Anyways... any tips would be helpful. Thanks. Link to comment

You changed the batteries, so you're good there. There should be a button on the bottom of the mouse somewhere, and on the usb dongle plugged into your computer. Unplug the usb dongle, plug it back in, in another usb slot, if possible. (If any show up)After windows says it has installed the drivers, hit the button on the dongle, and then on the mouse. You should be connected again. If not, the thing's broken. 1 Link to comment
Supa Posted January 28, 2010 Content Count: 1765 Joined: 12/30/09 Status: Offline Share Posted January 28, 2010 I use a logitech wireless mouse. When I bought my computer from Dell online, I had it come with the computer. It was a package deal (wireless keyboard/mouse), but I will try unplugging the USB into a different port and see if that will fix the problem. I hope it does. I get off in a little less than 3 hours, so I won't know til' then. Thanks for the help guys. Link to comment

As much as I would like the Razor, I do not have $130 to spend on a mouse. I spent $25 as it is and I think that's a lot, haha. But, my mouse is a goner. I think it has water damage. =( It was a shitty mouse anyway! Haha... Link to comment
