Today, this afternoon- about four, I had to buy..... a New Mouse! The one on this Laptop, that I have had for Absolutely 'Yonks' has finally Packed Up! Acutally it's been 'on the blink', for some time- keys getting Stuck/ Locked, and so on.
I just bought a 'wired' one, for about ten pound.... no-one had the 'cheaper' one. Just plugs straight in, which can't be bad. Ok it IS a bit 'fiddly' moving it around the Laptop, especially on my Push Along- 'Nest Of Tables', on wheels, but I'll 'Cope'.
I have 'scoll' wheel, which does make scrolling easier. Anyway I'm 'back'.....

Well done on the mouse I know many people who would have just gone out and bought a new laptop i have a name around here for the person to go to for computer problems and if I tell them that the built in track pad is not repairable "or the part from the maker is half the cost of a new laptop" for around a tenner they can have a mouse but lots say they are not going to bother and I can keep the old one I normaly just get a cheap wirless one and give them away to kids who cannot afford to buy one (after wiping the hard drive of personal data) they are very happy to take a repaired one home, you can get a wireless mouse for £8.00 with next day shipping from amazon ( I go for wireless as I have a personal hate of wires everywhere, I also prefer a trackball as they use less desktop space)
I never got used to the scroll pad on my laptop So I have always preferred a wi fi mouse which I still have. It's so easy. I just have a dinner plate tray under my mouse on the settee arm
