There is some kind of connection still. My cooling fan runs when I plug it into any USB port but if I try to plug in a mouse, external drive, etc. the computer won't recognize it.

Double check the batteries, although the lights work and the computer sees it, the voltage could drop low enough to stop the sensors.
next, try another USB device in that plug. USB port can go bad.
If the port works, it could be the wireless USB connector starting to fail, if they are bumped to hard sideways it can cause loose connections internally.
then, you might just need to update drivers. Computer update s can conflict with drivers cause devices toss top working.
hi Karnarc.
How do I troubleshoot my Gateway wireless keyboard and mouse?
How do I troubleshoot my wireless keyboard and mouse?
If you are experiencing issues with your wireless keyboard and mouse not working properly, perform the following steps to troubleshoot the wireless keyboard and mouse.
Make sure the USB connector from the receiver is properly plugged into a USB port on the computer. Some systems ship with the receiver already preinstalled in the unit itself. Please check your mouse to see if there is a receiver inside of the battery compartment door.
Make sure wireless keyboard is not on a metallic surface.
Ensure that the receiver is 8-inches from other electrical devices.
Try plugging the receiver into a different USB port to ensure that the USB port is working properly.
Check the batteries in the keyboard and mouse to make sure they are installed correctly.
Test the batteries to ensure that they still have a charge.
Verify the On/Off switch on the keyboard and mouse are switched to On.
Some receivers, keyboards, and mice may have a connect button. If so, follow the steps below:
Plug the USB receiver into a USB port on your computer.
Press the connect button on top of the receiver and the button will blink.
Press the connect button on the bottom of the keyboard to activate the wireless connection.
Press the connect button on top of the receiver and the button will blink.
Press the connect button on the bottom of the mouse to activate the wireless connection.
The problem may be a bent fan blade. It can be hard to see, so look carefully. On my Belkin, something got through the fan grill and bent one blade just enough to stop the fan. By removing the bad blade it continued to run fine.
1. try to connect the usb mouse in the other usb ports to check if it works 2. try another usb mouse.
if the usb mouse works in other ports and not in some of them...USB ports gone bad. if it does not work anywhere, the mouse has gone bad. also to check the usb ports check if keybaord works or not. if yes..its just the mouse. it cost approximately $10. go and get a new one.
see the very first thing is that what u can try is that try and connect the same mouse that u had and that had worked and if works then the prob is with the mouse that u have right now and if that also doesnt work then the usb port on the laptop has gone bad and u need to replace the motherboard of the computer but before replacing the motherboard try and connect some other usb device on the same usb port.........
have you tryed the devices with out the cooling pad? USB ports have a limit on the amout of current they are able to source and it could be that the cooling pad is drawing to much current.
I think you might have a loose cononection for the data ports. Try putting a little bit of force on the usb device. Up, down left right. NOT ALOT. If it starts working when force is used, i tihnk you should try to take it apart and resolder the connections. If it dosen't work, uninstalling the driver and installing.
There is a light/button on the USB plug. After inserting the USB key press that button then immediately press the connect button on the bottom of your mouse.
