Hello,

I have a regular Dell laser mouse that has been working with the mousepad that I have, but all of a sudden doesn't work any longer

I moved my computer to another part of the house, and now the mouse won't work on the mouse pad that it worked on before the move. I can use the mouse only on the surface of my table.

I've already cleaned the laser with alcohol. The only change is that I've moved the computer to my bedroom. :confused:

Any experience and solutions with this?
 
I think cleans the lens with alcohol may have been a bad call. i would not do. i use like a eye glass wipe. as far as it not working with the pad i can only suggest changing the battery. not much else to do that i know of. it may be the battery is just getting weak and not working with the mouse pad.

Its probably a wired mouse, so it wont have battery.

Does it still work on the table after cleaning the surface?

Yes, it is a wired mouse, so no batteries. And it does work on the surface after I cleaned the lens.

I just did a System Restore, and that didn't help any.
