wireless mighty mouse stops working

I'd like to know this as well, as it also happens to me from time to time. I'm not sure why. The mouse is only 5 days old.

 

Got any other computers to try the mighty mouse on to see if the same issue occurs? Do you have a wireless keyboard, does that have the same issue?

 

Same issue here, it's been mentioned in a few threads.

Bloody annoying

 

Remind me to stay clear of you when there is a thunderstorm!

 

I have a wireless mighty mouse, worked fine until I knocked it off my desk, after that it worked intermittently until it stopped altogether. Did a few google searches to find out how to take it apart, basically involves breaking the glued on seal to get in.

Once I'd got it apart the PCB inside is only seated on 4 plastic posts, not screwed down or clipped in. Mine had shifted a couple of mm up the posts because it must have landed upside down. This small movement was preventing the sliding switch from the battery cover engaging with the PCB. If I'd have known this before I may have not needed to take it apart, a few hard taps on a padded but firm surface may well have re-seated the PCB. Once I seated the board back into place and re-assembled it has worked perfectly ever since.

Not sure if this will apply to any of you because I know some are only a few days old but they may have had a knock in transportation? Anyway just thought I'd share my experience because I was having a hard time disposing of a £40+ mouse.

 

My issue with them is the too easy horizontal scrolling when I don't want to.

 

Why I ain't surprised??

 

I wonder if this is related to the bluetooth issues others are reporting...

I have the same problem with my mighty mouse. Your "solution" of a few hard taps.....wouldnt it make a difference which part of the mouse was tapped in order to reseat the PCB? Seems that taps in the wrong place could exascerbate the problem? I can get the green light to come on if I press down very hard on the bottom of the mouse. Obviously, it will not stay on without keeping the pressure on. Mouse is older than one year old and hate to toss it. Any other ideas? Thanks
