Working mouse suddenly not working...

November 9, 2007 2:51 PM

So I just got myself a 3M ergonomic mouse yesterday. Plugged it in, worked fine, no drivers required. Now today, it's not working so good.

Started the computer today, the mouse was working fine for a few hours. Suddenly, it just stopped responding - after unplugging it and plugging it in again, it started working. Then a bit later...kaput. Now Windows won't recognize the device. When I unplug it and re-plug it in, it usually won't recognize it. Sometimes it does, and works for 30-90 minutes, then stops working again. Any insight? I'm using the USB port, but USB vs. PS2 doesn't seem to matter.

Sounds like it's faulty. Take it back.

Unplug it, plug it back in. If that doesn't fix it, follow SCDB's suggestion and return it.
