Okay
Could you specify if you see any indications that the mouse is working? Maybe you see the indicator lights, etc.

Customer Replay

Green indicator light came on, then went off. Sell off
I meant still off

Try to switch it off and switch it back on. Check if the lights are on

Customer Replay

Did that. Light came on for maybe 5 seconds. Then off

Could you please try to change the batteries and perform the same steps?

Customer Replay

I did change once.. But I'll try again. Same thing. Light on for a few seconds. Then off

Okay, got it
*****, do you see the USB adapter inserted into your MacBook? The one that connects your mouse to the laptop

Customer Replay

Yeah

Please try to turn off your mouse, change the batteries to the new ones. remove the USB adapter, turn on the mouse, and insert the USB adapter back into the laptop

Customer Replay

Here I go

Inform me about the result, please

Customer Replay

I think it worked. The mouse is connected
