What's wrong with my Logitech Wireless Mouse?

Question

I put in 2 new batteries and the indicator is red, and the cursor starts shaking all over the screen. Also, the problem began when I pulled out 2 very, slippery batteries, could the batteries have caused it?

I looked at the little sensor, and there is nothing in the way.

It's getting kinda hot by the lid release switch, and i also see this red light through the hole at the bottom.

Answer 1

Slippery batteries is a sign they were leaking fluid. If thats made its way inside the mouse itself then yes, it could be the problem. Battery acid is corrosive, so it may have eaten through something such as wire insulation.

Answer 2

Have you checked the battery terminals for dirt,corrosion or damage? Has the mouse been dropped? Is the mouse optical or trackball? If it is a trackball type,unscrew the disk at the bottom of the mouse (see the indents on the ring to unscrew).Clean the ball and use an artists brush to carefully clean the mechanism.Disconnect from the computer first. If it is an optical type,there may be a loose connection to the LED.This would be a rare fault. If it is a battery problem then consult Logitech. I use a Logitech wired optical mouse that does not require any installation.I think it is a good idea for all computer users to keep on of these in the house.If there is trouble with your computer or the battery you will always have a reliable mouse ready to use in an emergency.It will give you time to sort any problem out. It cost me about £15.00.I would never buy a trackball mouse.They are mechanical and far less reliable than an optical mouse.A recent development is the Laser mouse.It is more accurate but may use more power.

Answer 3

u need to calibrate the mouse
same thing happened to me

usually, the mouse comes with a calibrating software which gets rid of the problem
if no software came with it, go to control panel and click mouse thingy and calibrate it there

another thing u can do is look for another mouse frequency by clicking the usb receiver and then the mouse to get on a new channel

hope this works

Answer 4

yes and no it probably could have caused permanent damage to your mouse or their might be another problem like a hair or some thing else caught in the sensor in the bottom of the mouse.
