Try a different USB port.
Still no.
Did it come with a driver disc?
I doubt it. But anyways, since I got it second hand, I didn't get one anyways.
if it did, try to uninstall the software (if any) that it came with, and find the most updated drivers for it on their website.
I'm wary about this. I don't think that they don't software for it anyway.
Unless he switched usb ports or uninstalled the drivers/software then why would it be working perfectly 2 nights ago.
I doubt that it is the software. I don't even think that it has software (then again, I don't really have a clear what software is)
hmmm, if it is wireless, recon the signal could be getting interrupted by something?
-S
This is interesting. What sort of signals could interfere with it? Is it right to assume only wireless things like cell phones would?
But then again, this happened at 3 AM ish, when people are asleep. I have used the wireless receiver at my home for about a month, and this hasn't happened before.
USB ports can malfunction, and drivers can become corrupt somehow. I've seen NIC drivers
What is this?
do it before. Fixed my friend's laptop b/c his WLAN
his what?
wasn't working, and he hadn't used it in a few months. Somehow the drivers
Be patient with me. I know very little about technology. What is a driver?
were corrupt, so I uninstalled 'em, then reinstalled 'em. Worked fine.
I'm hesitant about uninstalling and reinstalling this. I wouldn't even know how to.
My keyboard still works, and my mouse is still defective.
The reciever is still at F.
Basically my reciever has 3 light diodes under A, 1 and F. It looks like this:
A----1-----F
[]----[]----[]
When fully functional, the diode under 1 lights up. Yesterday, 1 and F were lit up, and then only F. Now F is still the only one lit up. I hve no idea what these letters (and number) mean.
The reciever has a button at the bottom of it. If I press it, the diodes light up A, 1, F, 1, A, 1, F, etc, like it's searching, which it is.
Now, when it is in this state of search, if I press a small button on the bottom of the mouse, or the bottom of the keyboard, the searching stops. I assume that this tells the receiver which wireless mouse or keyboard to listen to.
When I start the search, it stops when I press the button on the keyboard, but it doesn't stop when I press the button on my mouse.
This means that the problem is either in the mouse or the reciever, and not the software in the computer (if there is any). But it is unlikely the mouse, because yesterday the mouse was wrking and the keyboard was broken.
So basically, I need the diode under 1 to light up, and the one under F to un-light up.
I don't know if this has helped anyone.
