I recently bought my wife a wireless mouse for christmas for her to use on the laptop instead of the finger pad thingo. My 20 month old sonlikes it too and played with it, took the battery out and now it wont work. The USB side is fine, the actualmouse doesnt even light up anymore. I changed the battery for a new one bu this didnt help either. Is there a way to get it working or is it a lost cause?
The mouse is a Microsoft Notebook wireless mouse 4000 or something like that.
Yes I havve been asked that quite a few times, and the answer is the same, yes I have the battery in right, not sude what my son did though, he may have put it in the wrong way.
Once you've taken the batteries out, wireless mice need to be "connected" to the receiver by pressing the "connect" button on the receiver and the little button (using a pen/pin) under the mouse.
Okay I rechecked what was going on and found that the little tab that the battery and main boards connect to was not making proper contact. I fiddled with it and now it is working properly.
I didnt need to reconnect the mouse either worked straight off.
