My remote mouse stopped working.
Tried new battery. Nothing.
Stopped after I plugged in battery recharger.
Any suggestions?

Roll or check the battery terminals. They can get corroded.

(28,833 posts)If you're using USB ports, power is limited and can be shared by multiple ports. This can cause device issues and slowdowns if the devices aren't getting enough power.
Try different ports, if you have others available, or get a powered USB hub. A powered hub will ensure that the devices all get enough power.

I have a Bluetooth keyboard that balked until I hit some magic incantation. Happy ever after now.
