Magic Mouse won't turn on

[jrose94]

My mouse, which has worked seamlessly since I bought it, was running low on power (but still working perfectly) so I replaced the batteries and now it won't even turn on... I've tried multiple sets of new batteries so I know it's not that; there's something wrong with the mouse. I know there isn't a reset button on the mouse, any way to reset it from the hardware itself without it being connected to a computer? Thanks.

You might verify the batteries are installed with the correct polarity. They both face the same way, which it not how most twin battery devices arrange them.

I have also had the power switch "catch" on the cover which prevents it from fully switching to the on position, at which time you will see the green LED light briefly.

You might try a different "brand" of battery. On some, the positive terminal doesn't protrude enough, or is too large diameter, to fully enter the recessed "+" contact on the mouse.

[doublepost=1527375297][/doublepost]I took alead on the tip you just gave about the positive ends not connecting correctly.
I took a piece of gum wrapper placing it around the positive post. This corrected the problem instantly.
Thanks for the tip.
