I use a generic USB mouse on a Toshiba Satellite C655. The touchpad mouse stopped working long ago. Now I am having a problem with the USB mouse. Although it still "acts" plugged in in the sense that the red light on the bottom is on, it also stops working and gives an error message when I try plugging it into all USB ports. Basically, the idea is that it says on the computer that the device is malfunctioned and the mouse cursor doesn't move no matter how much I move the mouse. Another funny thing I noticed is that when I sit with the laptop elevated on my knee, it gives me no trouble at all.
Other devices have this effect more or less, too. My phone recently "plug/unplugged" when I tried plugging it in with a charger, though I don't think it gave me the error message. My 3ds didn't react at all. It acted normal.
I checked my drivers and everything seems up to date except for Microsoft Teredo Tunneling Adapter, but I don't think that's really related. I'm no expert though, which is why I'm coming here. I've seen similar threads, I just wanted to post my own specific occurrence in case it was something else entirely.
Update: Forgot to mention, the mouse is wired, not wireless. It's HP brand if it helps any.
