dead mouse acer aspire 5517 LT

Tue Dec 28 04:33:36 GMT 2010

Mike, I was able to log off and log back on using the external mouse but not
the inbuilt mouse. reception is off and on via unassisted wireless and my
keyboard works without prodding the F5 which had been the crude means I used
to get wireless to indicate it would cooperate and restore the keyboard.
will get out of here and handle my job for a bit and turn in for the night.
