logitech mx510 trouble
My mx510 (which I've had for a couple of weeks now) has started to cause me
some trouble It freezes occasionally when I play games (and -once- it's frozen in windows (windows xp pro sp2)) for a couple of seconds, then it works for a few minutes, and freezes again (when it's dead I notice there's no red light coming from the LED). I've tried different USB ports, which doesn't solve the problem. Also, I've used different drivers, both microsft standard and logitech (mouseware 9.80). I really someone could help me fix this Feel free to email me about this at any time ) /Erik |

Since power to the mouse is suspect, try to isolate where the fault lies. Might be in the cord - examine cord and wiggle it around. Check the USB plug contacts. See if other USB devices exhibit similar problems. Try setting the USB jumpers on the motherboard to use 5V, not 5VSB. If the jumper looks questionable, try a different jumper- although it's rare, I've seen defective jumpers. Try the mouse on PS2 port. Try another mouse. |

Well, it still freezes when I use the PS/2 port and other mice don't
(Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse Usb+PS/2 and Microsoft Wheel Mouse (Ball)). I think the problem is the mx510... I'll check the cord like you said. "kony" skrev i meddelandet ...

Would it have this effect if the USB port power setting was set to power down rather than stay permanently on? |

That could also happen if the led was going out (losing power or loose). No
light, no perceived movement. I would not think the light would go out if there were some type of conflict. I have one of those and no problems. Clark |

Sure, if/when a motherboard can power off the USB ports, the mouse when then be "off" in every way. Most (all?) board I've dealt with don't power down the USB ports though, unless in a higher power managment state (like completely "off")... or by permanently on did you mean simply that it's set by having the motherboard jumper set to 5VSB? |

Problem solved
The cord was actually damaged where it goes into the mouse (image: http://web.telia.com/~u44110566/mx510.gif) When I wiggled it around the LED went out. I just went back to the local computer store where I bought it, showed the receipt and they gave me a new one. Thx alot for the help I got here |
