Q: What would stop a Magic Mouse from working?
I have an original Magic Mouse. It has new batteries, but clicking it or pressing the mouse does nothing. The green light doesn't blink or come on. What would make it stop working like that? Any ideas or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

The shaking was meant to determine if the batteries rattled. But we are getting a result anyway. What is now confirmed is the batteries were not properly connecting. The constant green light is OK. The question is, is it now functioning fully.
I think it is down to wear and tear. Sit down and make up som thicker pads for the contact points using tin foil, then slip extra packing in the form of a cardboard pad across the of the batteries. Try again. You may get an old mouse style mouse, new via Amazon. Thanks for the help star.
