Re: Mouse konks out

Either its light goes out or it freezes. Since I can fix it simply by
unplugging and replugging (USB), it sounds like a bad connection, but these
parts never move, so the contacting surfaces can't (?) be shifting. Does
something perhaps need to be cleaned? Never had any problems with it before.
Are there elements of a mouse or a hub that wear out? It's on a hub with a
separate power source. Yes, I tried changing ports. Is there a way to test a
hub? To test its power source? I just plugged it directly into the computer
(without hub) and will see how that works--but meanwhile I am missing the
hardware that shared the hub....:-(...I also tried my spare hub (which does
not have a searate power source). I would like to be able to check my two
hubs, but don't know how one would go about doing that....

Thanks for the help!
