I am using a USB, laser mouse (Genius, MODEL :GM-04004A) with my Toshiba (Satellite) laptop and it stops working all the time (with the light coming off and the PC making sounds).
My touch pad keeps working. Once I pull it out for some time and let it 'rest' it seems to come back when I put it back in (doesn't come back if pull out and back in right away). A restart of the PC also gets it back for sometime before it goes off again, but this is not good for gaming).
And I am not the only one having this problem, I have googled and found many with the exact same problem. But not with a solution. And these are people with different laptops and mouses which urges me to say that naming my mouse my not help (maybe even naming the laptop my not help). Because the mouse I used before this one (my new mouse is not even a month old) did the exact same thing.
So I am hoping someone else who also had this problem may offer me the same solution.
