| | Problem Laser 8000 Bluetooth Mouse Subject: Problem Laser 8000 Bluetooth Mouse Message: When the mouse is put on the charge pad its green light pulses 8 times slowly. Then a red light flashes continuously and rapidly. The mouse's NIMH battery does not charge except for a few minutes of use. Even when the mouse is left on the pad overnight. This problem started early in August when a Vista update included a prompt to update the mouse driver software with a download from Microsoft. The Microsoft download was run and stopped itself with a note that the driver was not compatible. Thatt is when the mouse stopped charging properly. Then late August another Vista prompt to download the updated driver for the mouse, and this time the driver installed. However, the mouse continues to fail to charge except for less than a minute when it is first placed on the charge pad. The mouse battery charge anly lasts a very short while. If I take a half hour to reseat the mouse on the pad every time the rapid red blinking occurs, I can slowly build up the charge. The slow green pulsing lasts about 30 seconds, so in half an hour the mouse is reseated on the charger pad 60 times. Microsoft can direct me to a safe driver update, please. That would be greatly appreciated. It would be really appropriate if Microsoft would correct the error in its driver update for the Laser 8000 mouse (date of manufature, 2007).

| | Re: Problem Laser 8000 Bluetooth Mouse forgive me, but if i understand correctly you need the driver to charge the mouse, couldn't it be that the battery is not holding it's charge, or a problem with the battery, or is it really the driver not telling the mouse to charge? -- Licensed Boating Capt.

| | Re: Problem Laser 8000 Bluetooth Mouse i hope mark is reading this, my guess is the battery given to him might be defectuous if it's brand new or he had it for a long time, and didn't let his battery die before charging it. this is the worst thing to do to a rechargable battery charge it before it goes dead, what happens is that the battery remembers at what point it was charged and take the energy left and says to it self when i get to this point i need to get charged, so what happen is next time you use your battery when it gets to that point it'll send a dead battery signal when you really had 15 min left of use for example. and over time the battery doesn't work properly anymore and stops working. now this doesn't happen after the first time you charged your battery earlier but with time. the trick is once a month let the battery die completly until the device stops running then charge the battery fully, even when the signal says battery full, it is only 80% full, let on charger at least 2 hours for the remaining 20%. ps this is research information, not something i made up. and applies to all rechargable batteries -- Licensed Boating Capt.

| | Re: Problem Laser 8000 Bluetooth Mouse Honestly, whoever you are, drivers don't charge mice. As it happens I have spent over $20 purchasing batteries, just in case there was a problem with the battery manufacture. I can absolutely affirm that the faulty manufacture came from Microsoft: either the mouse driver is faulty, or by some bizarre fluke the new mouse hardware broke at the very instantr that a Microsoft driver updated Vista.

| | RE: Problem Laser 8000 Bluetooth Mouse All three of you read this carefully. The original battery is ancient history and three new NIMH batteries have dome their best to make the mouse work again. Something in a Vista update slipped malicious code into the mouse through it's bluetooth port. This is 'extremely' a well understood exploit - 15 minute blurb on it on the news last week. The mouse is messed up pretty bad. No more battery talk. Does any tech have any idea how to do a really effective (and safe) low-level hardware reset of Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000? Sensible answers.
