Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse Not Tracking - Please Help

[Hurd111]

Hello everyone,

My Bluetooth mighty mouse isn't tracking at the moment. Not at all. Everything else (clicking, side buttons, scrolling) works fine, but the other day, for some reason it just stopped tracking. I've never had any problems with it before, so I'm a bit confused.

I've tried everything - Cleaning battery contacts, trying multiple brands of batteries, re-setting it up as a bluetooth device, but nothing seems to work.

I'm really confused and can't find any info on this.


Please help!

Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure what I did, if anything, but I left it on for most of the day, checking occasionally to see if it worked, and for some reason it works now.


Weird.

It's been a few months and it's happened again. Except this time it doesn't do anything at all. No clicking, no tracking, no scrolling, side buttons do not work, but it still is "connected" when I drop down my blutooth menu.

I still need some help.

The no clicking, no scrolling business is not a good sign.

But before giving up on the tracking, turn it over and make certain that there's nothing blocking the laser. I once had a mystifying tracking failure and it turned out that there was a small animal hair in the laser well - very hard to see, but just big enough to disrupt the tracking.

If that doesn't help, then probably you've got a general hardware failure. So far as I know, the bluetooth radio can function properly when everything else isn't.

Have you tried removing the back and cleaning the lenses?
