Mice and Pointing Devices

[Kivisisalik]

Hi,

I really hope I will get some reasonable advice as I have now spent hours on trying to make my V470 bluetooth mouse work with my new Dell Latitude E4310. The mouse worked quite Ok with my old Fujitsu Siemens laptop. I have installed, uninstaller reinstalled, etc, the SetPoint, restarted the computer, the bluetooth, the mouse. Connection assistant says it has detected the mouse, the blue light on mouse is blinking and the connection assistant continues working without any results. When I press on "Connect Utility" I get an error message that says "Please connect your Logitech cordless mouse MiniReceiver in a USB port and restart this program" Well, you can not connect a bluetooth mouse to an USB port, can you? I have read a lot of forum posts, checked that my laptop is allowed to link to bluetooth devices, etc. Absolutely no results. Anything else I could do? The mouse also shows up under Devices and printers.

go to device manager, right click the bluetooth device, then properties, update driver, try to disable the bluetooth device first then enable again, to reset the bluetooth device.

1. turn off the bluetooth mouse, then turn on (change battery if needed)

2. try to delete all the previous connected device like cellphone or mouse. ( if they can find it)

Hi, I am using V470 bluetooth on my HP envy 14. The light on the mouse is flashing but the mouse doesn't work. When I try to add it on devices menu, it keeps asking me the passcode. What is the passcode or how can I make my mouse work? Thank you.

On an HP ENVY dv6 notebook PC with Windows8, I attempted to follow the same procedures... was able to change the startup bluetooth support service from manual to automatic, the mouse was found and device added as 'Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Bluetooth', but still doesn't work... just below it shows 'Offline'. Any ideas?
