My mouse hangs - 7/23/2008 11:00:59 AM

Status: offline 		My mouse hangs. It often does not repond to clicks unless I knock it on the desk. So it is hard to activate buttons and to insert the cursor into text. When I activate a scroll bar the mouse stays connected when I leave that scroll bar, causing the page to move up and down when I move the mouse. It is an optical mouse on a wire. I am considering to buy a new mouse tomorrow as I cannot work in word with this porblem: accidents may inadvertently happen to the text I am writing.
 
I had the same problem about one month ago, but then it went away.
 
*Now to see if I can get the ok button to function to post this.*

Status: offline 		Cleaning the mouse was a disaster. When I finally managed to open it, I rinsed it with water and let it dry, then assembled it again. The cursor did move, but the mouse did not respond to any clicks at all.
 
So this morning I bought a new mouse for five euros. Umm, it did not have a usb plug, so it was useless. So I mounted my bicycle and rode to the center of the city and bought a mouse with the correct plug for eight euros. Two hours later I am now back home. The mouse does function, but the wire that it is on is at least twenty centimetres too short. I tried to plug it into a usb docking station, but that did not function at all. Well, I can work with it, but at the next opportunity I will buy another five euro mouse with the correct plug.

Status: offline 		Why not? It was disconnected from the electricity and corrosion is not to be expected from a short rinse. I dried any water that I could see with some paper tissue and then let it dry for a couple of hours. That ought to be sufficient. There was not much dust anyway, so I do not know what the cause of the problem was.

Status: offline 		the other possibility is the mouse could have just been on it's last legs. i have amouse where the button is a bit worn and gets cranky, and the wheel has been abused. Mice are cheap. Though, I'm certain it shouldn't take 4 tries to get a new one that works properly with your computer. Next time, try stepping on it, it will realign all of the springs and sprockets and it should work fine.

Status: offline 		ugh!  water???  good grief.....

a swab dabbed with alcohol (rubbing not consumable) is more than sufficient.  hope the hint helps next time you need to clean a mouse (the computer type, not the creature).
