Is my Magic Mouse Dead?

Thanks Phuphan.

Quite obvious once I took a closer look.

Thanks again

I just changed to Energizers and mouse now works a treat! Thank you from not making me throw the mouse out the window, was getting very very........well you get it.

How did you open the Magic Mouse? Did you pry off the top or something?

I've watched an youtube clip about how to do this.Here you have it.

Good luck!

Thanks IB Retired it worked for me. You saved me £59 thank you!

Sounds like it might be that the Mini's bluetooth might be off. I'd try turning the Bluetooth off and then back on again.

I found that the kind of batteries used to replace the "old" ones (weren't that old, I thought) made the difference. These standard Energizer batteries made everything light up and work--continually.

I think this problem is related to Mountain Lion, because I was using the same mouse with an iMac running Lion, and this problem began when I connected it to a Mini Mac with Mountain Lion.

Perhaps the problem with rechargeable batteries is that each cell is 1.25 volts, and the regular alkalines are 1.5 volts each.

Same problem here.

I have tried different Duracell types and nothing 😟

OMG!!! I had a pair of used Energizer batteries and IMMEDIATELY our Mighty Mouse started to work!!! 😀➕

It also solved my problem now too !!! 🙂 Thanks for your helpful tip !!! ➕

Apple just replaced the mouse. And guess what? it disconnects with duracell battery, on a good note it doesn't with other brand energizer, so I planned to keep it and just use energizer.

That may be the case but if the green light won't come on, no system software will help.
