If you are trying to convert your Logitech Trackman Marble FX from PS2 to USB so it will work with Windows 7, you can't just convert the port type - you have to get an "adapter" that converts the PS2 signal to a USB signal. See for ATen - UC 100KMA. WEB SIte:
http://www.aten.com/products/KVM/KVM-Modules-&-Accessories/PS2-to-USB-Adapter~UC100KMA.html#.U5sYrCi4NAE.

It allows you to convert a PS2 keyboard and PS2 mouse/trackball with the one device. It's what I use and it works just fine. The regular $2.00 port adapter was useless.

They are on EBAY sometimes for $20 or so. GOOD LUCK. :)

SOURCE: LX7 cordless optical mouse with dongle

Hello,

Had the same problem. But before filling the logitech RMA from to get a replacement, I put new batteries into the mouse and the mouse worked again.
I am using rechargeable batteries, and I seems to me even if the green light on the bottom of the mouse is on, the driver warning for low battery does not come on. May be the volage drops to fast with a older set of batteries.

Try out new batteries. Hope this helps.
I am using the LX7 mouse for more than 2 years with lost of abuse (>10x drops from shoulder hight to hard office floor, sitting dongle in my pocket and dropping my backpack onto the floor with the dongle on the botton in the backpack).

Regards.

SOURCE: my logitech ps2 mouse gets hanged while working

Sounds like the driver has become corrupted. You will have to uninstall then reinstall the drivers. Lets start with that, let me know how it goes and we can take it further.

Please remember to rate me.

SOURCE: my HID usb mouse is not working

This a problem with windows. An error in the registry isresponsible however your standard scanners dont help much. Check the mouse on another pc if it worksyou have several choices. 1. Reinstall/Repair windows on the machine the error has occured on. 2. Attempt to locate what hasgone wrong in the registry many advise t delete the mouse info from the registry and reinstall the generic drivers. I saw this problem CAUSED by a windows update just after SP3. please guys dont tell people there hardware needs replacing without troubleshooting. The site is called fixya.

My computer wont read my mouse or keyboard

Are these wired or wireless, USB or PS2 connections..

PS2 Connectors should only be worked when the computer is Turned Off
USB can be Hot Swapped..

If USB try another USB port ..If PS2 make sure they weren't swapped by accident
Check your BIOS
Try another another Keyboard / Mouse

Gigabyte GM-M5050 not connecting to laptop.

it is only a USB mouse and works on any pC really.
w7 needs no special driver for this mouse ever,
it uses PnP, plug and play and the internet must be active and working for PnP to work is it? not told that.
your failed computer is all messed up with w7 even infected
monza is w7, 2012 made (year)
the usb ports are first not mouse the device manager must show all USB ports have good drivers, and you test them using a USB stick of thumbdrive memory to be sure they do work, and if does good
or use USB keyboard to test usb ports all
if all that works then the mouse is tried. and internet connected and the mouse to when connected must show up in device manager.

Welcome to FixYa!

Here's a quick checklist to resolve your wireless mouse connection.

Solution 1.
1. If the underside of the mouse has an on/off switch, make sure to set the switch to the "On" position.
2. Make sure that the battery of the wireless mouse is placed correctly and is not drained.
3. After checking the first two steps, the optical lens on the underside of your wireless mouse should be flashing once in a while. If not, there is something wrong with the battery, the wireless mouse switch, or the wireless mouse itself is defective.
4. Connect the USB dongle in the USB port and let it install automatically.

Solution 2.
5. Connect the USB dongle in another USB port and let it install automatically.

Solution 3.
6. Restart the computer with the wireless mouse turned on and the USB dongle inserted in the computer.

Solution 4.
7. Download and install the drivers from here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&softwareitem=ob-47909-1

I hope that this will help.
Thank you for using FixYa and keep me posted!

Hey my mouse wont work help

How old is the mouse? Corded or cordless? PS2 or USB?

In general, for USB mice that don't work, check that the USB ports are working by trying the mouse in a different port. Try another (known working device) in the ports and see if that responds. If a PS2 to USB (or USB to PS2) adapter is in use, replace it or just replace the mouse (remember the mouse dongle is not interchangeable with a keyboard type).

Mice are relatively cheap and will fail. Corded mice will get a break in the cord over time - replacing them is simpler than trying to find the break. Cordless mice require checking the batteries and the receiver.

I hope this helps.

HELLO

is your mouse and keyboard plugged into a PS2 connector http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ps-2-ports.jpg
look inside of your case and see if any capacitors are buldging on your motherboard the tops of the capacitors should be level/flat if they're ok, sounds like they are going, look for brown rusty color also around tops of capacitors, might be your outputs are going. If you have your mouse and keyboard plugged into ps2 ports try a USB Mouse and keyboard, borrow one first or buy a usb laser mouse for $12 worth a try even if your ps2 ports are blown, use the usb ports for mouse/keys ;)
