For the do it yourselfer... I noticed this forum an hour ago and after looking and searching the web decided I had nothing to lose by trying it myself. I used an exacto to remove the battery compartment door (glued on). Found 3 AAA nickel metal hydride batteries to replace the ones in the unit with. Made the solder connections. Wasn't enough room to replace the battery compartment cover, so used hot glue to keep from rattling. Replaced the battery pack on mouse and looks/works like new. Will post pics and tutorial on instructibles dot com once my taxes are done. : )
This is what I read on the net. May help you too/
"Gyration Wireless Keyboard and MouseFor a few months now I've been happily using a Gyration Wireless Keyboard and Mouse for my Windows Media Center. I've been extremely happy with this combo. The mouse can be used without needing a table or surface (you just wave it in the air). It takes a while to get used to this, but once you do then you are free to walk around etc while you control the mouse. The mouse comes with a charging station and also has an optical sensor so that I can be used as a regular mouse. They keyboard is very small, and is running on it's original set of batteries. It's perfect for MCE as I can easily hide it. Another bonus is that the keyboard requires no drivers and works on the BIOS screen in case you need to make any tweaks etc. A few weeks ago, my mouse flaked out though. On Monday I finally got around to calling them. The support experience was fantastic. I got a human on the first ring and he told me to send it back to them (no need to find my receipt or anything). Today I got my replacement (total of 4 day turnaround). Now that's great service!"
Try using it. It really may not require a CD to install. Just plug it in and off you go. All the best.
The audible noise is an indication that the internal Gyro has failed. There is no field fix for this problem. If the mouse is still under warranty have Gyration exchange the defective device for you.
So, someone above posted that you can rebuild the batteries...I took the mouse to my local Batteries Plus store, and they have a tech sitting there that can rebuild them...I bought a pack of 4 rechargeable batteries, and the tech there rebuilt the pack with new batteries...you just have to pop the cover off of the battery pack, and let the tech do the rest...cost me $15
