Hi to all.
I am a new switcher here and however very pleased with my 'old
generation' MacBook Pro.
I have a problem with my built in bluetooth adapter and the MightyMouse
Wireless. Since a week, the BT works fine for about 15min then, the
mouse is no longer detected (the BT icon looks like when nothing is
connected). It can work badly for a few minutes -only clicks- then goes
completely off.
It is sometimes possible to re-connect the mouse, and, generally, it is
syncronized again when the computer starts from cold.
The mouse is brand new and has been changed because it was suspected...
Probably a wrong diagnostic now..
Hardly ever, as well the BT icon goes gray and says 'blueooth : not
available' or so.
What is sure, when I plug my little USB BT dongle I had from my last
PC, the mouse is then detected and *always* work fine.
OS is 10.4.8, self updated.

Any hint ? Any chance to reset the drivers (bad PC habit ?), call for a
new MacBook ? Mine is only 2 month old ?

Oddly enough I had that problem with a no-name mouse -- when I switched from
regular batteries to rechargeable, the problem went away. In a similar vein,
we have a Canon camera that won't work with a crap with regular batteris, but
works great with rechargeable.

In addition to what I said, I have the same problem with Windows running
through Bootcamp...
Looks like a physical problem due to overheating ?
