Mouse unresponsive and red light flickering. you have to click the mouse to make it responsive again.. but if you leave it a little while the same procedure again

1. Make sure the mouse is fully charged. The underside should have a red flickering light if it is working properly. If not you need to change the batteries.

2. Plug the USB dongle into the computer. The blue light should light up and flash rapidly as you move the mouse around. If it still doesn't work you need to re-sync the mouse with the dongle.

Turn the mouse off and back on again. Hold it near the USB dongle.
Push the blue button on the dongle. It should flash steadily. Push the reset button on the bottom of the mouse. The blue light on the dongle should start flashing rapidly and your mouse should now work.

The little red light is likely from the red LED underneath your optical mouse. If the mouse cursor/pointer on the screen is jerky, it may mean the mouse pad is dirty and/or if the mouse is wireless, its battery is low and should be replaced. Most laptops have a touchpad as part of the keyboard. If you want to use that instead of a physical mouse, just put the physical mouse away and use the touchpad. Both should be active unless the touchpad was disabled. If the touchpad is disabled, you can re-enable it by clicking on control panel > mouse > device settings tab > enable button.

Make sure the plug from the base is inseted firmly into the back of the computer.

Also make sure the small plug from the cordless mouse power adapter is fully inserted into the back of the mouse cradle / base.

Make sure the mouse is close enough to the base to connect and there is nothing blocking the light path from the mouse to the cradle's sensor.

Also clean the little led on the bottom of the mouse with a Q-tip to remove any dust.

Good luck and please comment back if this was helpful.

I have been fighting with several of these GE Wireless Mice. Pressing the connect buttons on the mouse and USB receiver would not re-connect the mouse. As some ohere posting have pointed out, that little white circle on the usb plug shows where to squeeze to trigger the receiver to re-connect. When you've squeezed correctly, the red LED in the USB pug starts flashing brightly - not a dim flicker. You are supposed to then press the connect buttom under the mouse. Immediately the flashing LED on the receiver should go off, and your mouse should be ready to go. Each time you move the mouse, the same LED in the USB plug should flicker to show activity.

I have tried all this so many times without luck. Even replaced the mouse batteries several times - from the same pack.

Here is my 'FIX'. I think this mouse is very tight on the voltage it needs from the batteries. You need absolutely brand new, full power, good shape batteries. Bateries that look OK in another device, might not work in this mouse.

If you have a test meter and know how to use it, find a couple of batteries that are giving at least 1.6v each - more if possible. Pop these in, do the connect process above, and there is a good chance it will connect up fine.

Good luck.

Hi Arsenal,

My Logitech cordless occasionally does the same thing. On mine it was caused by a build up of gunk over the optical sensor. Once I cleaned it, it functioned normally.

I know it doesn't make sense as far as the buttons. I'm just sharing what worked for me. Hope it works for you.

Best regards
Mike

Hello friend,
You must either reconnect your mouse or just install the hardware again all together because some how either your signals are being crossed or blocked.

sometimes you have to reset the mouse with the keyboard out of the aera / check the connection to the pc if the keyboard can be read and the mouse can't then the mouse has lost its transmitter

need drivers for my new v220 cordless mouse

What type of mouse do you have, the brand and the model. Sounds like you need a driver for the mouse you have. If im understanding right you have a wireless mouse?

go to control panel and see the configuration in mouse
