    I have a Retail Plus BT309 Bluetooth mouse with my Windows 8 laptop. It connects and works fine, however as soon as it times out and sleeps, I cannot make it work again without removing the device from Bluetooth and re-pairing. Pressing the pair button at the bottom of my mouse just makes the optical laser flash momentarily, and then nothing happens. Any advice?
