Out of the blue my mouse quit working. I replaced the batteries, tried resetting it, and even moved the usb and still nothing. What do I do?

Ok don't worry. Sounds like you need to Unplug the mouse for a sec then re-plug it back in to reset it. If the mouse is wireless then try replacing the batteries. Cause a wireless mouse can still turn on if batteries are weak but won't have enough power to connect to the receiver connect to the desktop/laptop. Try doing so and let me know if this solves your issue.

The USB dongle may have failed. This NOT a blue tooth mouse so if the dongle has failed, time for a new mouse.

The first thing I would try is replacing batteries. Even if you think your mouse batteries are good, still try to replace them with the new ones.
If that does not work, try to reconnect your mouse by pressing the "Connect button"
Trying different USB port for the base - would be another option.

Most wireless mice does not have a reset button. They usually have a "Connect" button.

Since you have tried replacing the batteries, try holding down the connect button on the USB receiver and on the mouse at the same time for five (5) seconds and release them. See if that would work.

If not, try connecting the USB receiver into another computer to isolate the problem.

Good luck and have a good evening!

I have a miscrosoft wireless laser mouse 6000, and it also stopped working on my laptop. I changed the battery, still not working. I tested the battery in another device, and it was good. I moved the mouse to another computer, and it did not work. The light on the usb connector was lit. [No changes at all to my laptop.]. It seemed like there was no power to the mouse, and I looked at the contacts inside the mouse. The contact just inside the battery opening appeared to be bent down away from the contact on the battery tray. So, I pulled it up a little so it would connect when the battery drawer closed, and (after tweaking it a couple of times), it finally worked!

First make sure your mouse is installed properly. Go to Device Manager and see if it lists the mouse and has no conflicts. Also, try a different USB port, especially if it doesn't show up. If your receiver and mouse have reset or connect buttons on them you'll need to push those also. try alternate batteries. if none of these suggestions can solve your problem you may be looking at a defective mouse.

I would suggest investing in a USB mouse. They never have this problem and are very cheap to buy. I have found that wireless mice are prone to problems. I would say there is a problem in the connection between your mouse and the laptop but this sort of problem is quite hard to find. As I said, you are better off with USB mouse.

You need to sync the mouse with the USB receiver. They'll be a similar button on the receiver. Push both at the same time.

Look in device mgr and make sure port is "always on"...accordianman
