What to do if the mouse doesn't work on my HP Desktop?
- RRyan NunezSep 4, 2025
If your HP Desktop PC mouse isn't working, it might be improperly connected. For PS/2 mice, check that the cable connector pins are straight and ensure the mouse is connected to the mouse port, not the keyboard port. If the pointer doesn’t move, clean the mouse. For optical mice, wipe the light sensor lens. For roller ball mice, remove the ball, clean it with a damp cloth, remove lint from the rollers, and then replace the ball. If the PC has stopped, reset it by holding the power button until it turns off, then turn it back on.
