Microsoft Laser Mouse 8000 Cradle Problems
I have a Microsoft Laser Mouse 8000 which recharges on a cradle. Actually
have 2 which or having this problem. When placed on cradle for charging it will blink 7 times and then go to a fast blinking red light. According to Microsoft's Web site this is a charging problem (battery, etc.). These are brand new rechargeable batteries and I have tried different ones same problem. I have tried both cradles, plugged the cord in different places, and tried everything I can possibly do. Have checked the web, and it seems other people are having these cradle problems. Any ideas.. PS: Remember these are bluetooth devices and they work just fine, but will not charge on the cradle, but you can manually charge these batteries... |

Microsoft Laser Mouse 8000 Cradle Problems
I have found that if I left click the mouse once or twice when it is in the
cradle and flashing Red that it will stop and recharge normally. "Mark Stonecipher" wrote in message ... I have a Microsoft Laser Mouse 8000 which recharges on a cradle.

Mark Stonecipher;821009 Wrote: Nope, that doesnt work either.. Mark, I found this thread looking for answers for the same problem. The above solution didn't work for me either, so in an atempt to get some charge so I could work I kept picking the mouse up from the cradle each time it started flashing red, on about the 4th or 5th try it never started flashing red. I think the battery supply was so depleted it couldn't get a good start for a charge. I will see if this works later in the day but I must get back to work. Good luck, Lisa -- Lisa Dorn |

I actually did the clicking things and it worked. I think the power switch should be on ON position. Try it and let me know -- etch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ etch's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/etch.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...es/1025883.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Microsoft Laser Mouse 8000 Cradle Problems
I have recently had this probelm after my son start playing with my mouse. I tried replacing the battery but that resulted in the same problem of the red light flashing after a minute or so. I checked the drivers on the keyboard the charger and the mouse and they were not changed. So I decided to re-connect my mouse and keyboard. This seems to have stopped the problem where the mouse would charge for a minute or so and then start to blink red. -- dfoster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dfoster's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/dfoster.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...es/1025883.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Microsoft Laser Mouse 8000 Cradle Problems
The problem with the red light appears to be due to a unchangeable battery
or to the battery not making a good connection within the mouse itself and therefore will not charge. One user has reported that just rolling the battery in the mouse around that it apparently made a better connection and the red light went away. "dfoster" wrote in message ...

Microsoft Laser Mouse 8000 Cradle Problems
Curious That was what I thought was the problem with my mouse. So I rotated it in the battery slot, I tried removing it and rubbing the terminals, I tried replacing it with a different battery to no avail. In the end I just re-connected the wireless connection by resetting the wireless bluetooth connection using the wizard. The problem has now disappered.
