logitech mouse has no power

I got a new logitech mouse mx700 duo. It was working fine and I don't recharge but use duracell batteries. After a few days after a switch the mouse died out (indicated by the red light going off and the mouse isn't working). I tried to switch to new batteries with some hope and it failed. Tried another pair and they weren't the problem. So, now I've got a mouse that would power up for a few seconds after I switched the batteries, and now it has gotten worse as it won't even do that. It is plain dead. Has anyone else has this problem and is there a fixable reason associated with this. Is it just the brand or the mx700 or what?

 

i have mx500 although it is not battery operated i found that if i plugged it into a usb port the mouse would power up ans the freeze. i then plugged into a usb to ps2 adpter reinstalled the mouse software and all was ok.

this worked for me let me know if this helps
