Mouse dying

[Hemske]

I got this razer pro solutions v1.6 computer mouse.
A thing that has begun to happen is that it suddenly dies, rendering it unusable until I replug it.
Sometimes the lights go out on it, so it looks like it is unplugged, but sometimes the lights are still there, but it is still dead.
In some of the "deaths" I hear the "a usb has been connected/disconnected" windows sound.
I have tried it on other computers, and it works perfectly. Other mouses work on my computer.
It is not the usbports either, I have tried all of them, and it is the same in them all.

Anyone that can help me with this? It is quite damn annoying to be unable to use the mouse every 20 seconds.

Couldn't find anything helpful after some googling.

Thanks.

It could be:

1.The Mouse.
2.The Mouse connection to the computer, not the usb port but the cable.
3.The Mouse Drivers, they might be failing.

Though I Think its number 1.

mouses of the laser types always fail(I have 3 broken ones).

The mouse's usbport may not be compatible to your port, either the computer's usb port is too big(a little, it may not be even noticable in the naked eye) or the mouse's port is too small.

1: Get a new mouse.

or

2: Get a new computer.

There, problem solved.

I doubt it is the mouse or connection, if it works fine on other computers.
I've reinstalled the drivers as well.

And the mouse have worked for 2 (?) years without any problems on the same computer as well. It recently began to fuck up.

That is not a solution I have thought of Lichy, thanks.

 

[Crayons]

mine too. Lichy's first solution is good. Or probably try cleaning your mouse, the ports.

Well, I had the same problem. See, my mouse was dying, so I took it out from USB at behind and out to one at front and thse problems ended, but after some time it happaned again, so then it turned out it's the wire, so it just was immportant to diiscovered where exactly the wirse is damaged and someway fix it.

And it depends from position of your mouse, in one position the contacts may be pokay, while in other it might be more... uncomftable.

So yes it's the wire, you should check and probably fix it or get a new mouse.

 

[Hemske]

That sounds exactly as my scenario Tleno.

Guess so.
Thanks.

Your computer is giving your mouse too less power, it's not the mouse problem, it's the computer problem, you must have run something that uses so much process that it eats up the power and they remove the connection between the mouse and the computer, sometimes, you might even have keyboard problem.

 

[Crayons]

my computer runs only one program at a time and it happens. So. Probably not

Afaik, the main problem lies within your computer and not your mouse, mouse rarely spoils unless torture had been served to it. Dropping it, smashing it etc..

 

[Crayons]

yeah. Elaniel probably mistreated his.

I was always nice to my mouse, and this still happened to me. It's more about wire wearing off.

Could be, sometimes, you have wet hands and you still use your mouse, [honestly speaking, I don't care about it, I still put my hands on the mouse even when my hands are wet.]
Another might be, rats bite it or roaches.

I been through 4 mice all because eithor the buttons broke or the scroll wheele became unusable. Never had the laser or the cable die.

 

[Tleno]

That depends from the fact if there are some places where the wire is bended alot at some place, then it might get damaged.

That makes utterly no sense. If the processor was eating up that much power, the power supply would start making amateur smoke signals that communicate "I'M DEAD" :/


Anyways, check the cable for any cuts, look carefully. I have had that make mouses go wiggy before.

I once had a laser malfunction, fun thing to have your mousepad start melting.

the scenario tleno mentioned from the start seems to be the on that is the right one.

I treat my computer parts as I would treat my wife.

You beat the shit out of it when it doesn't make sandwiches?

This might work on your mouse aswell.
