I have a friend who had a MS IntelliMouse the system "just froze up" on him. When he powered it back on Win98se couldn't find the mouse. Nothing else seem to be wrong. I went over and noticed the mouse was very hot, we put another plain jane PS/2 mouse in and it is ok.
Any ideas about what happened to the IntelliMouse? Thanks for any suggestions. |

Sounds like the mouse shorted out. I've see that before *once* with an Intellimouse.

I've actually had a series of complaints like that lately. About 5 of them in the past 3 months. The people all complained that the mouse was hot. We exchanged them, but they all appear to work fine, I've yet to have one get hot, but there is a faint burnt smell inside them.

re; hot mouse
Maybe they were overclocked, however when I had mine installed through the PS/2 port using PS/2 rate, it didn't affect this mouse maybe because it was actually a USB mouse. If the FSB or refresh rate is OC'd ... could this be the cause?

The one I had that got hot was a standard PS/2 Intellimouse on a system running 100% stock clocks.
