Staples wireless optical mouse model E b250 not working; replaced batteries, but mouse does not move screen icon on computer

Red light on mouse was blinking. I changed batteries, and now optical mouse will not move the screen icon. I can move the icon using my laptop, but cannot get optical mouse to function. I have double checked battery orientation, and that is correct. mouse turns on and off, and the optical blue light on the mouse comes on, so it appears okay. Just cannot get it to move screen icon,as it did before the battery change. any suggestions?

SOURCE: Mouse doesn't work

LOOK FOR A BUTTON TO RESET THE MOUSE AND THE USB CONNECT SHOULD ALSO HAVE A RESET SWITCH ON THE USB CONNECT YOU NEED TO PUSH BOTH AT THE SAME IME SO THE CAN GET INSINK OR THE CHANNEL TO SET. SOME TIMES THE MOUSE HAS TO BE TAKEN APART AND CLEANED JUST LIKE THE OLD MOUSE BALL ONE, AND RESET THE MOUSE SETTING IN CONTROL PANAL, UPDATE DRIVE MAY ALSO HELP IF THERE IS ANY NEW FIXS

PS SOME TIMES THE LEAD TO THE BATTARY CONNECTION NEED THE THE SPRING PULLED OUT A LITTLE OR THE OTHER END WITH METAL TAB ON IT NEEDS PULLED OUT BECAUSE THE PLAY IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT IS LOOSE AND THE CONNECTION IS INTERMITTING A VOLTAGE CHANGE AND CAUSES THE MOUSE TO LOOSE ITS SIGNAL TO THE TRANSMITTER OR SET FREQANCES.

SOURCE: Microsoft wireless notebook optical mouse 1023 - not working!

If you know that the battery is good then try this next. There is a VERY tiny shark-fin shaped spring-loaded button on the bottom of the mouse that is pressed in, when you insert the receiver, while the mouse is not in use, that turns off the mouse to save the batteries. If you haven't used the mouse in a while, it can get stuck in the in position, so that when you pull out the receiver, it doesn't spring out and turn the mouse on (indicated by the red light on the bottom). If you notice that the light isn't coming on. Just try manually pushing in the little shark-fin thing a couple times to make it spring back out. After a couple times, you should be able to get it unstuck and the red light should come on.

How do i use the staples wireless optical mouse with my chromebook?

Wireless mouse and keyboard are supposed to work on chromebook. It is supposed to work just by inserting USB dongel in port. If won't work, test it on a Windows or Mac computer. Wireless mouse and keyboard are supposed to work on chromebook, see customers report at amazon

But, if works on Windows, it simply won't work for chromebook. No way!

How do I change the batteries on my Staples Wireless Optical Mouse?

On mine, you have to lift the top back section up to reveal a compartment. Insert a thumbnail or letter opener at the point and lift up. It's right below where it says "Staples."

Logitech wireless optical mouse won't move computer cursor

Sometimes on wireless mice the contacts get warped or bent, so when you move it or set it down the batteries are not making full contact on both ends and the mouse loses power.

You can try adjusting the contacts or using a conductive material to make the contact (like a staple or paperclip), but you're probably better off spending the $10 or $20 to get a new mouse.

Wireless keyboard and optical mouse

Thanks! I fixed the problem by installing a USB mouse and using fn+f9. That unlocked the mouse so I could use the pointer leaving just the keyboard problem. I then tried reconnecting the wireless keyboard (by using the button on the receiver and under the keyboard) Hey Presto!!

Wireless Mouse a Problem

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
