    Hi,

    I have Microsoft Wireless Mouse 4000 and it stops responding after about 15 seconds after I plug its USB receiver into my E1505. Tried changing channels, stay away from phones, microwaves, etc, even updated the driver. The last thing I haven't tried is replacing the battery, which is only few days old ... I checked the USB ports and everything seeems to be working fine.

    Did anyone have this kind of problem or maybe someone can guess what it could be. I have Media Center installed on the laptop. Thanks a lot!

    I had similiar problems with my bluetooth mouse. I tried everything and couldn't figure it out. I too had a "new" battery installed in it too. Well turns out the battery wasn't as new as I thought. Changed it and all was fine. Give it a shot.
