    Hi,

    What is the model of the Bluetooth mouse?

    When connecting, does it ask for a PIN?

    Thanks

    If your Bluetooth mouse is showing up in the Bluetooth settings but won't connect, you can try the following steps:

    1. Ensure the Mouse is Discoverable: Make sure your mouse is turned on and in pairing mode. Check the manufacturer's instructions on how to make it discoverable.
    2. Remove and Re-Pair the Device: Go to your Bluetooth settings, remove the mouse from the list of paired devices, and then try to pair it again.
    3. Check for Interference: Ensure there are no other devices causing interference. Move the mouse closer to the laptop and try connecting again.
    4. Update Bluetooth Drivers: Make sure your Bluetooth drivers are up to date. You can check for updates in the Device Manager.
    5. Restart Bluetooth Services: Sometimes, restarting the Bluetooth service can resolve connection issues. You can do this by going to the Services app and restarting the Bluetooth Support Service.
    6. Check Battery Level: If your mouse uses batteries, ensure they are charged or replace them if necessary.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may want to consult the manufacturer's support for further assistance.
