I have 2 computers both with mx700 mouse and they have worked great for a few years. All of a sudden, both have stopped charging. The green light blinks to say it is charging when in the cradle but within minutes of taking it off the charger I get a low battery warning and it flashes red. Have tried new rechargeables with no luck and the batteries will charge fine using an external charger

Connect the keyboard to check whether the plug loose, removed, that is, the keyboard is broken, replace a new bar.

Hello, have you tried changing the batteries in your mouse? They are probably dead or dying and that is why it is not working. Also, try restarting the computer. If you cannot even use a regular wired usb mouse, there may be something going on. Try changing the batteries, restarting the computer, and using a regular usb and a regular PS/2 mouse.

Thanks for using FixYa!

First try unplugging the charging base and using a Qtip and a light amount of rubbing alcohol(because it evaporates) to clean both charging surfaces:
The 2 gold colored medal plates on the bottom of the mouse and the 2 prongs that touch them on the base. Wait about 15 minutes to make sure all rubbing alcohol has evaporated. Plug the charging base back in and see if its working. If it didn't seem to help, you can easily change the re-chargable batteries in the mouse as they are just 2 re-chargable AA batteries. Make sure they are replaced only with "re-chargable" batteries only. Replacing them with non-rechargable AA batteries can cause them to explode if placed upon the charging base.

The green LED on this reciever is also a button. Press the LED on the reciever with a small blunt object (pencil will work) and then press the "connect" button on the bottom of the mouse. The green LED should come on, and restore the connection between the reciever and the mouse.

this is a problem with my mx700. you need to constantly clean the two brass coloured connectors at the bottom of the mouse. an eraser works well. even with this you sometimes need to jiggle the mouse a little in the holder to get it to charge. this is not logitech usual standard and very annoying.
hope this helps.

Hi,
ive had the mx700 for two years and im very comfortable with it.
I think you problem lies not with the mouse or the driver, but rather the mousepad.
Since the mx700 is not a lasermouse, but "only" optical, it still needs a decent pad to work flawlessly.
Ive had problems with these kind of mice using blank paper, magazines or tablesurfaces.
Try to get a real mousepad from somewhere (should be really cheap), that should do the trick =)

I upgradet to a razer diamondback later which is a laser mouse (1600dpi, while optical mice (with the red light) have 800dpi). Some ppl say that this is too much, and not needed (you can get even higher specs =) but i felt a world of difference, it just works everywhere! (except for mirrors and glas =)

i don't know this particular brand, but it probably has rechargable (and replacable) batteries, try replacing these, because some don't charge well

-Refurbs usually come barebone, on any refurb product, definately read the terms and agreements of the warranty... No way in $*%# would I take a refurb without SOME sort of defective warranty.

-Try another computer -If it don't work on yours, try it on another one. Ensure its not lose, so wiggle it a little, and if it lights up to charge for a second, there's something interfering with the connection from the mouse to the dock. If all else fails, call the seller, cus it is, a refurb.

-Manuals are downloadable from the manufacturers website. Its a common trend that the manuals are links somewhere around the driver webpage, but a big company like logitech, shouldnt be hard to navigate.

I found the following:

Red light slow blinking: Battery Low, please put mouse in charger and charge;

When in Charger Red light Slow Blinking: No charging, please check and clean Gold Plated contacts in charger and Mouse;

When in Charger green light Blinking: Charging in progress

When in Charger green light Steady: Charging complete

When in Charger Red light Fast Blinking: Mouse detects overvoltage during charging! Please clean Battery contact inside Mouse, or replace rechargable batteries NiMh 1500-2100 mAh only
