Magic Mouse won't turn on AT ALL.

Thanks Badaloof and Vermonter!

I just pulled my mouse out of storage - it's been hiding at the bottom of a basket (not in its case) for about a year.

I flicked the on/off button - no power - so changed the batteries - and still no power. I began freaking out a bit, thinking something may have been sitting on it, and caused it to break - but then thought to check online.

Hallelujah - I found this feed.

Combining a few tips - I wiped the connector points, put my new batteries in - Energiser Golds - flicked the on/off switch to on and then pressed them down in the middle before replacing the battery cover - BINGO - mouse is working... like MAGIC. It was the tip to press the batteries in the middle that was the trick!

Cheers much!

Thank you man!🙂 i had similar problems and then i did what u said. The green light blinked and the mouse started to work perfectly😁. I have my mine since 2012 and stopped using it after 2014 for such reasons as it would not turn on😟. Now i got back to using my magic mouse and it works flawlessly😮😊.

Another bonus tip: Spray some AB40 spray near the -ve and +ve ends of the mouse. It will prevent these sides to get corroded and removes humidity if any.

I faced same problem yesterday. After reading the last response to this post here, I cleaned up the mouse's battery touch points with a piece of clean cloth and placed the batteries. The mouse started functioning correctly.

Samne problemo here, I have tried every single battery on earth (obviously not) and it doesn't seem to turn on AT ALL!! the indicator lights don't turn on and what's more, the same batteries I used (which used to work) doesn't work any more.

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, help!!!

Make sure the positive button on the battery (nipple) is not short. I just had a rayovac battery not work because the positive part of the battery (nipple) was not tall enough to make a connection in the mouse. I bought a set of energizers and they obviously are a smidgen taller and fit fine.

I've been using the same batteries in my mouse from lidl for months with no problem. Then for a couple of days intermittent disconnection to the problem you're having after replacing the batteries. My intelli Magic Mouse appeared to of died. And replacing the batteries with new similar ones to no avail. An Internet search brought me to this page. I read through the posts then decided to do another internet search where I discovered a similar post on anotheir website giving options on how to fix the Mac mouse that won't work. Apparently when replacing the batteries in the mouse the springs don't always fully lift up. One trick is to put new batteries or ones you know are working in the mouse, then switch it on. This I did and still no green light. You then turn the batteries with a finger. This helps the springs in the mouse to fully extend. Bingo! As soon as I stared to rotate the batteries the green LED came on and stared flashing. One live fully working Magic mouse.

I am so grateful for this post... I was seconds away from buying another one, then I read your post @initial Wesley, Thans fo MUCH!!!!!!

i've tried all advise at here and the result still not working..sometime green light on for 5 second then off and hard to get on again

please help..it's my magic mouse death?

I don't actually know how my magic mouse started working. One fine day when I came back from home, turn on my mac and my mouse, the mouse won't start all all. I subcribed to this post to try out the suggestions but nothing ever worked. Duracells definately didn't work. I took my mouse to the apple store and showed it to them and they suggested that I buy Apple's chargable battery, fortunately and unfortunately I fell short of $5 and couldn't buy the batteries.

I went home and deceided to get it one more try, I took the new kinds of duracells (the one with the power meter) adn plugged them in and voila! It work, not only did my mouse started working, it lasted for nearly 1 and half months. Considering I use my mouse everyday.

Try to get those duracells witht the funky 'power meter' the one your press and it shows you the amount of energy left. I think their slightly bigger and more powerful, so their a perfect match for the mouse.

🙂 Hope this helps. 😉

Hi folks, dead mouse and i noticed a bit of that white corrosion(the enemy) around and on the left negative. But success cleaning all contacts with Isopropyl alcohol... Extra used on left spring loaded negative contact. I had been naughty recharging normal batteries and won't do that again... Very lucky.
