Yesterday I was trying to use my computer. It was evening. I turned it on, I tried to open Chrome. It didn't respond to anything I did. I tried again and again. I turned it off and restarted it again and again. I became a little panicked thinking that I should take it to service and I would lose my information. And I changed the mouse. It finally worked. I changed the battery recently because it's a wireless mouse. I think the mouse is failing. It was a very cheap mouse. I am glad that I didn't have to take it to a repair shop.

I'm glad you didn't either. They charge an arm and a leg. And typically the problem is a simple fix.

@dya80dya Yeah, I know. Lucky for me, I can do my own troubleshooting.

@dya80dya I agree, it is good you didn't have repair costs.

I hope this was the problem. But I will tell you something weird. I tried to use another mouse with my laptop and it stopped working too. So I have two kinds of mice that stopped working even if I didn't use them so often. I think the batteries need to be replaced.

@dya80dya No;I have not.I used it for 9 years and then it stopped functioning.I took it to a computer mechanic.He checked it thoroughly and then suggested me they I should dump it and buy a new desktop.I then preferred to buy a tab.Now the tab has permanently stopped working and I'm accessing Internet with my phone.
