hi, do you mean the light underneath the mouse ? the light at the front lights up when i click or move it, but the curser on the screen does not move at all. the light underneath [the laser] will not light up at all. sue.

There was someone on here (who shall remain nameless lol) who put their batteries in upside down ........ !! Saying that, my son has a cordless keyboard and mouse - the keyboard is fantastic but the mouse is rubbish! Sorry that's no help whatsoever, just a bit of sympathy! Mandy :)

Hiya Sue, Make sure firstly,the batteries are fitted correctly and in good order. Check that you have followed instructions to the letter. By that I mean that you have enabled the mouse and keyboard correctly. Finally make sure the small transmitter is plugged in correctly. All I can think of really. Baz. xx

hi, thanks everyone. will go through it all again from scratch. to be honest i love the keyboard so much- i am not that bothered about the mouse. my desk is such a tip i would probably lose it anyway. this one still makes spelling mistakes though! lol sue.

Hi Sue The light should be lit! Did you get instructions with the mouse as you may have to load it onto your PC? John
