A little while ago it appeared that my Logitech MX Revolution had stopped charging. It didn't seem to recognize that it was placed on the charger. After almost giving up it occurred to me to check the contacts were clear on the underside of the mouse. I just scrapped them with my finger nail which seemed to shine them up a bit. It actually only seemed that the one on the right needed any cleaning, possibly something to do with it being positive or negative.

Anyway, this fixed the problem and it now charges fine. I wouldn't have considered writing about this except for the fact that a friend of mine was also complaining about a Logitech mouse not charging and this fixed the problem for him too.

  1. I did some research and found out the are more people having the same problem. There are even multiple videos on YouTube an Google Video about this problem. I tried cleaning first....... didn't seam to work, than I rocked and quickly put it in and out of its cradle and that fixed it! So its just a simple case of smudged contacts which I apparently clean by rubbing the contacts against each other! To everyone with the same problem:............. Clean the contacts with alcohol and/or scraping the dirt of. http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=owZ7cJIA57I

  2. Nice work. Anyhow, i would like to have a fix for the mouse since it really wierd sometimes. Feels like its not reading the surface as it's supposed to. Know a fix for this? I really wish that some good programmer could make a 3rd party application so you would'nt have to use that shitty SetPoint...
