Any more help is appreciated. Thanks again for the help. Chris, OK. From that, you know the mouse is getting power, one direction works and the software driver is working. If the mouse gets used a lot, it could have a broken wire inside the cable. Wires usually break near the mouse (where the wires get flexed the most). Assuming you don't have another mouse or graphics tablet or paddle to try, you may want to check the mouse in the other port. Run up the test program on the demo disk that came with it. If that works, the problem might be the 4066 chip in the computer. If it's still bad and you have an ohmmeter, you can do a continuity check of the mouse wiring. Pin 5 is used for up and down movement, and pin 9 is for side to side movement... the pin you want to check in this case. It might be open circuit. If so, you might repair it by cutting off the cable ahead of the break and soldering all the wires back into the mouse. If the wiring checks out OK, you need another mouse as a substitute to make sure that one is in fact bad. They do fail like that sometimes. Good hunting! Watch out for the 5 volt line. If accidently shorted to ground, it can kill chips in the computer. If you have a CBM 1351 mouse, the wires are color coded as follows: PORT COLOR FUNCTION ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ 1 BROWN RIGHT BUTTON 2 RED 3 ORANGE 4 YELLOW 5 GREEN VERTICAL MOVEMENT 6 BLUE LEFT BUTTON 7 VIOLET + 5VDC 8 WHITE GROUND (COMMON) 9 BLACK HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT The joyports are wired as follows (facing the computer): _____________ \ 1 2 3 4 5 / \ 6 7 8 9 / ~~~~~~~~~ _________________________________________________________________ view for bookmarking text only mail this message to a friend post reply << prev · next >> subscribe to comp.sys.cbm SPONSORED LINKS Yellow Pages · Save$$ at uBid · Express by Infoseek · Shopping · Free Stuff AutoConnect · Trade with Datek · Auctions & Classifieds · GET IT NOW @ NECX Home · Communities · My Deja News · Power Search · Post About Deja News · Ad Info · Our Advertisers · Deja News Store ____________________________________________________ Copyright © 1995-99 Deja News, Inc.
