Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

My mouse seems to have bit the dust for reasons beyond my comprehension... It's worked fine since the day I got it but today I changed the batteries per the "Critically Low" battery warning. But after I changed the batteries it no longer works...
It's never been dropped or mishandeled...
I simply changed the batteries...
I ran the setup wizard numerous times...
Re-Installed the Intellimouse software etc...
The mouse's laser seems to function and respond to movement and everything but the computer can't find it...
The Bluetooth keyboard still works fine... so it must not be the tranciever...
I even uninstalled the keyboard software and tried just using the mouse...

Did the mouse simply die?
If so, would Microsoft replace it? It can't be more than 2 months old... I can't remember the warranty info off hand.

Thanks for any help in advance. ^^

BT isn't yet as robust as it should be & I would suspect the connection
is fuzzed out rather than the hardware. Try re-pairing your mouse 1st
(presuming the Microsoft BT stack works in a similar way to my Belkin
(Widcomm stack)) for my BT dongle. I did this recently when my phone
stopped sync'ing with my PC.
