Red light doesn't come on ~ Microsoft optical notebook mouse 3000

Have you syncronized it with the receiver?
Normally you press a button on receiver then press another button on underside of mouse to sync it.

On the adapter there is a small red button. This button must be pushed, then the red button on the bottom of the mouse must be pushed. The mouse light should blink and you should be able to use it.

YOur mouse needs to be paired with the transceiver. THere is normally a button on the part which goes inot the laptop. Press it once then flip the mouse and press its button once. It will then work hopefully :)

Have you tried changing the port in which the USB wireless receiver is plugged?

Or is the receiver internal to the notebook?

If the receiver is internal, try updating the drivers for your machine by navigating to the manufacturer's support site.

If you plug a wired mouse into the machine what happens? If you get the same result, it may indicate a problem with the USB settings on your machine. I would, again, suggest updating the drivers for your machine.

If that's the case, try plugging another USB device into the machine and see if it works properly.

If none of those options provide results, I recommend you return the mouse for a refund or a replacement, especially if you have the receipt.

I hope I was able to help you. Good luck!

you may need a new mouse, its gotta be the only problem. hope this helps

I would try taking the usb and puting into and diffrent usb port and also if you have another computer try it on the other computer

I had the same problem.
Press the button on the underside of the USB, the green light will flash. Now press the reset button on the underside of the mouse. Your mouse should now work.

Most devices last a long time. Have you tried re-installing the software for the keyboard & Mouse> Also go to microsoft download center and get the latest drivers for you setup. Make sure when you do, choose the right Operating System driver for your Keyboard & Mouse. Hope this helps. Bud
