Re: Mouse stopped working

Try another mouse, it looks like your old one is dead. Borrow one or buy a
cheap one for about £3 UK and test your system, or just go buy a new one.
Try your old mouse in a friends system to make sure but it sounds like it
died. When you confirm your old mouse is dead buy a decent quality one as
cheap mice are fine for testing but no good to use all the time.
