I know the procedure worked for me and a lot of people, but honestly I switched mice this year to a standard-batter (i.e., non-rechargeable) type that I really like... a Logitech M510. I was sick of the recharging on the old MS mouse, and the fact is this new mouse batteries last what seems like Mike Eberharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410014970702142362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28009703.post-8628828860806927942012-12-07T18:14:21.388-05:002012-12-07T18:14:21.388-05:00should the mouse be on while charging? and a newly...should the mouse be on while charging? and a newly bought one should show a green light? tried the paper trick and its still blinking red<br />beepbeep29https://www.blogger.com/profile/03069872216081805255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28009703.post-63339136062624335542012-11-05T09:22:28.432-05:002012-11-05T09:22:28.432-05:00Thanks A lot!!

The solution was to use a tweezer and bend that piece of metal back straight. After that, it works without the need for tape.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03767644151951059647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28009703.post-48748907869322236012009-03-14T20:34:00.000-04:002009-03-14T20:34:00.000-04:00had the red light problem after receiving this mic...had the red light problem after receiving this mice brand new from Amazon today.

Too bad MS didn't figure out the problem pre-production, as I consider this all unacceptable.
