The mouse does not work, what is the reason?

As a rule, situations when the mouse does not work, happen suddenly. For example, after the next turn on the computer. There can be many reasons for this. In order to call correct, it is necessary to find out the nature of the failure. This will help to eliminate it or at least make sure that it's time for the owner to purchase a new mouse. But do not panic at once. Perhaps it's not the mouse itself. In most cases, when the device does not respond immediately after switching on, the operating system crashes. Also for the reasons it is necessary to carry similar problems with drivers or any programs on the computer. In any such case, the system reboots again. Practice shows that this method works very often.

There are other kinds of malfunctions when the mouse strangely reacts to movement or simply badly works. The problems that arise are in no way connected with the device manufacturer, but can depend on its technical device. Most of the situations that occur are very similar, so the recommendations for solving the problem are divided into several general types. So, why does not the mouse work on the computer?

Briefly about the reasons

The first thing to do when there are any problems is to try to connect the device to another computer. If the mouse does not respond well or does not work at all, then it's really in it. The nature of the failure can be of several types: breaks in the wire, malfunctions with the incoming connector, burned electronics.

Another case, when the mouse does not work, refers to problems with individual buttons. This includes problems with the wheel. After all, this alone is enough to lose half of the important functions, and therefore, consider the device non-working. In such cases, the cause is most often mechanical damage. Less often - the special viruses that the computer picked up on some unreliable page. It is recommended to remember if there have been such risky travel on the Internet recently before the breakdown.

It happens that the mouse does not work in any mode of using the computer, but only when the game is turned on. Here everything is in the options of the game itself. You can solve this problem by appropriately setting up the device.

Problems with the wheel

Problems when the device does not work scrolling, occur quite often. This is possible if the owner does not bother to install special drivers that usually come with the mouse. If the computer is running Windows 7, and also 64-bit, then very often it does not find drivers for the mouse. Usually this system itself searches for the software, but in this case the problem is solved manually. The user will either need to either look for the appropriate driver or install an operating system with a lower bit capacity. It is possible that the wheel simply broke from impact or other mechanical damage. It does not hurt to go into the general settings of the computer and check the correctness of its settings in the "Mouse" section.

USB Problems

In such cases, the first thing to do is to pay attention to the LED. It is located next to the device switch. If it is lit and thus indicates the correct connection, then the problems that arise can be written off to the computer system. But if the LED goes out and the device itself is also "dead", the mouse probably does not work because of the port to which it is connected. Fortunately, in modern computers such USB-ports are not one. The easiest way is to reconnect the device to the next connector. Sometimes in a similar manner (the LED signal does not light), the mice respond with a large number of additional functions or buttons. Here again, the drivers are not to blame.

One of the buttons broke

No less frequent reason, when the mouse does not work, is a break of the left or right button. Sometimes the culprit becomes a virus, and the solution here is to test the system with a good antivirus program. But the main share of such failures are various mechanical damages. The fact is that inside the computer mouse is a small button that transmits signals when pressed. Not it has a big load, why the part breaks. If you want, you can disassemble the device and fix it, but it will be much easier to buy a new one.
