Laptop USB mouse stopped working, and I'm clueless[FIXED]
Hi, this problem started a few days back, when I installed the USB drivers for a LG C105 mobile phone(maybe unrelated) on a Sony Vaio NS230E, after the installation, my USB mouse stopped working, I installed the same drivers on my desktop too without any problems. Note that the Touchpad still work, so does the USB, detects flash drivers and my phone (Google Nexus S).
I took these steps before becoming completely clueless, here they follow:
1. tried other USB ports.
2. Other mouse.
3. reboot.
4. Uninstalled the driver stated above.
5. System restore to 2 days back.
6. Installed the drivers for my mice.
7. My windows wasn't up to date so I installed all the important updates and some bug fix optional updates.
8. Tried Microsoft Fixit. Note: I had 2 mice that have already been connected to this laptop, when I connect them, they light up, but they don't work, and they do not show in device manager. But when I connect my desktop's mouse (which I've never used on this laptop) Windows shows an "Unrecognized Device" dialog. And I see an unrecognized device under the USB section in device manager. I ran Microsoft Fixit in this situation but obviously it did nothing.
9. Today I inserted a Windows 7 disc and had the PC boot from it. Was hoping that maybe repair or complete re-installation may fix it, but apparently, it won't because the USB mouse still doesn't work in Windows installation wizard. I'm completely clueless now.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.:)
UPDATE: The problem has been fixed by itself.
