alright sweet! Thanks for the advice

No problem. Hope you get it fixed.

Have you tried all of the ports?

there are only two, and ive tried them both a million times

Do you have a flash drive or some other USB device you can use to test the ports?

nope...

Hmm.....Is it a desktop or a laptop?

laptop

Is your battery low?

Sorry about all the questions but it helps me understand the situation better.

Nope, it's plugged in, in fact. I get this sometimes. It wont work for a while, and later it'll work again. It doesn't seem to want to work again this time though

Do you know how old the computer is?

I bought it less than a year ago

Hmm....Is there another computer you can test the mouse in?

yeah, downstairs pc. Let me check real quick

Alright. Let me know how it goes.

it works down there. God damnit...

So all of your USB ports are having an issue. Sounds like there could be a problem with your motherboard since the USB ports attach directly to it. Do your other ports(headphone, mic, network, etc etc) work? Or are you able to test them?

yeah, headphones work

Has it ever fallen?

It could also just be a quality problem. Like the USB ports weren't connected to the motherboard properly so they come loose sometimes.

They come in and out sometimes. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. They could be loose...

You can try taking it to a technician and having them check it out. Just for a diagnostic it shouldn't take them long nor cost much if anything.

I'm thinking it could be that the solder that holds the connection has come loose and that would be a fairly easy fix.

Okay, sounds good. Where would i go to have it looked at

fidget with it until it works? Not good for the ports but it works for me.

I had this once. The solution is that you throw away your Laptop and buy yourself a High End master race stationary computer.

try blowing in it

i have...
