microsoft mouse receiver stuck in hp usb port
The wireless mouse's nano receiver is stuck in the left-side USB port of the HP laptop. And this is probably why: read jong81's post on reddit . The picture he shared below explained it well enough. It's an old post but if HP still installs that kind of USB port in their machines... it'll be bad. Mine's a Microsoft 3500 mouse and not his Logitech VX Nano so, there must be side-holes on the Microsoft mouse too. Took out my other MS 3500 and checked. There's no hole on this side... But on this side... there's a hole. One hole. So it must really be stuck. Dammit. I'll be checking USBs for holes now... Wonderful. *December 2016, update: I told my sister it's stuck... but then she just pulled it right out! Geez - I'm such a weakling LOL!
