Mouse
The mouse does not work
• Make sure that the mouse cable is plugged in correctly.
• Shut down and restart your computer.
• Remove all extension cables and switch boxes.
• Try a mouse you know is working to make sure that the
mouse port works.
The mouse works erratically
• If the mouse pointer begins moving erratically across
the computer display or becomes difficult to control
precisely, cleaning the mouse will likely improve its
accuracy.
• Clean the mouse by wiping the bottom with a clean,
damp cloth. Make sure that the optical sensor is clean
and free of debris.
• The mouse pad may have a printed or fabric pattern on
it that interferes with your mouse. Try a different mouse
pad.
