how do you change the mouse in a small wireless optical mouse

hi, try to perform the steps in the article below from HP.. http://tinyurl.com/y8ek43e and also try to perform a diagnostic test on mouse. if its a HP computer to do so.. go to Start -- All Programs -- PC Help and Tools -- Diagnostic Tool..
once the tool is open go to Communication.. and run a test on mouse.. if ur unable to use it there.. then if ur system is under warranty.. call HP and get the mouse replaced..
let me know if this was useful to u regards, guru

Reinstall drivers for the mouse.

It will go to sleep by itself, just walk away after shutting down the PC.

I just figured this out. I was having the same problem. The light on the plug-in USB wouldn't stay on. Then I realized that the light on the USB is also a button. You have to press this button as well as the 'connect' button on the bottom of the mouse at the same time. Wait until they sync up and then let go.

Hope this helps. It worked for me!

Make sure your batteries are good and then, Normal 0 Turn the mouse over and find the small rest/connect button on the bottom of the mouse and press it. This should connect the mouse to the receiver and work properly. If not, try pressing the receiver button and then press the button on the mouse. This should be done whenever you change batteries or glitch. Hope this helps you. Bud

Just curious did you change the battery on the mouse?
