What to do if the mouse does not work

A computer without a mouse is equivalent to a non-working computer. Therefore, it is so important to have a good device. Unfortunately, there are times when quite a "live" device simply refuses to cooperate. These cases we will consider in this article. And also tell me how to "revive" the mouse.

Before reading something, you need to know the cause of the breakdown. If the mouse dropped or was treated, the chances for the return of working capacity are small, however they are:

The fall. During the strike, chips are often damaged or the "insides" of the mouse breaks. In this case, unlock the device and check the integrity of the structures. If the wiring or wizard broke off, take the soldering iron and connect the torn ends. Sometimes after an unsuccessful drop in the mouse, a laser sensor shifts. "Treatment" of the device is the same: to promote and put a reader in place.
Water. When the mouse spill a liquid, a short circuit occurs. It will help good drying of all parts of the mouse.

The dealer of the mouse can be the ports on the computer. Old, wired mouses intended for PS / 2 port are sensitive to the removal of the plug from the computer turned on and give failures. Solve the problem will help the usual reboot of the system.

USB mice support "hot" extraction, but USB ports themselves are often broken. Before throwing out the mouse, try inserting the cord into each port. Preferably repeat the same actions with 100% working mouse. If the computer does not perceive any device, you may have picked up the virus, which "eaten" the registry files for the correct operation of the mouse, or the driver has come down. You can check the operating status on the mouse through the device manager. When breakdown near the device there will be an exclamation mark in a yellow or red triangle. There is also a function of updating and removing drivers.

If the computer has been subjected to a viral attack, besides the run of the antivirus program, you need to restore the registry branch responsible for indicating devices. It's not difficult to do it. Download the archive on this link -

Mouse_Reg. And install the attached file to your computer. Restart the system and rejoice in the working mouse.

There are internal Windows failures in which the mouse completely refuses to work or slowly, with rolling, moves around the screen. If this is your case, try to roll back the system (make data recovery from an earlier working time). Step by step instructions for restoring the system you will find here.

Now consider control using the keyboard when the mouse stopped working. To restart the computer or complete the operation, call the Windows 7 system control window and above using the "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" key combination or "Alt + F4". The selection of the string is performed by pressing the arrows on the keyboard and the Enter key - confirmation of the action. Switch to shortcuts on the desktop by the arrows. Calling the "Start" menu by pressing the Windows button.

So, we listed the common types of mouse breakdowns. However, the cause of equipment malfunction may be the interruption of the wire, for example, was transmitted by a table, drawer. Check the cord for the presence of strong chances and gaps of the protective shell. If you did not help any solution, try reinstall Windows Or buy a new mouse.
