My brother's GearHead wireless mouse (Optical 2.4 GHz) worked well on his laptop. But then his laptop crashed and after he rebooted it the mouse cursor doesn't move at all, the buttons won't work either. The mouse was on, he did everything (put in on another USB port, put a pad under, reboot with the mouse plugged in) he could but it still would not move, also his laptop did not recognize it at all.
We tried it on my computer and the mouse worked, the cursor and buttons worked fine but then again we put in on his laptop and it still didn't move. What can he do to fix this before he needs to buy a new one?
