Mouse trouble

[Help_43]

Hello,
Recently my mouse has been experiencing issues. It would shut down and stop working without warning. It is a Dell wired mouse and has no visible issues with the cord. The USB ports are all active and funtionally properly. The BIOS indicated the legacy USB ports were indeed fine and I tried using drivers and devices to fine the mouse, however, it cannot detect it.
Please help, thank you.

I have tried a different USB port,but to no avail. As for a new mouse, I guess I could try that, though any solution that doesn't involve spending is nice

is the mouse lite up? can you try the mouse on another computer?

Mouse is dying, it happens. My dell one is flakey too.

It is very common for the mouse cord to become intermittent just where the cord enters the mouse body. I have repaired countless mice by cutting the cable at this point and re-soldering the cable back. You can test this by flexing the cable at this point.
