Magic Mouse won't turn on AT ALL.

I have had my Magic Mouse for over a year now. Recently it started saying its batteries were getting low, I usually ignore it because they last quite a while before they actually die, it quit working so I assumed it needed new batteries.

I turned off the power switch, took off the cover, removed the old batteries, installed the new batteries, replaced the cover and turned on the power switch.

The green LED doesn't turn on at all. My computer specs are below, I purchased a USB bluetooth adapter for MacSales and it has always worked fine with my Mighty Mouse and Magic Mouse. I even put the batteries I used to replace the ones in my Magic Mouse in my Mighty Mouse and it works just fine, connects to my G5 just like it should.

I love my Magic Mouse and would like to continue using it but it seems like its dead now.

PowerMac G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8), PowerPC G5 2.3GHz Dual Core, 4.5GB RAM

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.
