I tested the replacement batteries before I put them in there, and they were 1.4v, so they were good enough. I have an older MS wireless keyboard/mouse combo (Wireless 7000), and didn't even realize the LED that is on it is also a switch. Never had a problem with it (but used it so much the letters wore off the keys! Good thing I can touch-type :-) Anyway, there is no such button on the new one I have, the Wireless 5000. It's really beyond me how it's working now. It wasn't a case of putting the batteries in upside-down, or low batteries, but problem resolved. Thanks everyone!

Since your computer is still detecting the receiver you have a hardware issue and not a Linux issue. Are you sure the "new" battery is actually good? Replace it again and see if the problem goes away. My Microsoft wireless mouse(s) (I have several) have a button on top of the receiver and on the bottom of the mouse. Pressing those apparently resets the connection in some way. I have found that when my mouse battery dies I get no warning at all. The cursor just suddenly stops moving on the screen. The first few times it happened I assumed that the computer had locked up in some way, in fact, particularly because the little red light on the bottom of the mouse was still on as normal. But all it takes to get it going again is to put a new battery into the mouse and generally it's not necessary to push the reset buttons on the mouse and the receiver. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
Wireless mouse not detected
Hi, I have a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse, and the battery died in the mouse, so I replaced it. Now the mouse doesn't work at all. All the instructions that I've found online are for use with Windows. Any idea if I have to somehow reset the mouse, or how do go about troubleshooting this? generic-usb 0003:045E:0745.0009: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft® 2.4GHz Transceiver v6.0] on usb-:00:13.0-3/input1 It detects the mouse and keyboard, but the mouse doesn't function. The keyboard works just fine. It's a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000, model 1387. There is a small momentary switch on the bottom of the mouse, but it doesn't appear to do anything, and can't find any reference to it online either. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
