Mr.Scaleo

Need to give you credit for good explaining. Even tried some swedish.
Ok so I confirmed it's not the bluetooth version the reset button is black.
The mouse was fully loaded when I got it and worked like a charm so I don't really want to unnecessary damage it. At my local store they got a rather cheap universal adapter where you can change the voltage and the plug in adapter so the hole in on the basestation is not an issue. It's actually only the voltage that is the problem. Money back from my seller wont happen. The deal was closed before I discovered it all. Buying a new mouse is nothing that I want since I gave a third of what a new mouse cost.
But I really need to clearly read it...
What does your basestation read and what does your adapter read?

Mr.Scaleo

Are you still there johanna0507?

Mr.Scaleo

Ok next week I'm going back to my local store. This time I want some result and I want to be sure I don't buy crap.
But I still want to compare. That why I would really appreciate if anyone that actually has the mx1000. Please wright what voltage your basestation needs and what voltage your netadapter gives. Think this would almost solve the issue.
To compare my basestation says 13V---500mA
All forum says +8V---500mA on the adapter
What do your stuff say?

johanna0507

Like I said, I have +8V---500mA and this has been working fine for over a year.
I have no idea why your base station says differently. Perhaps youve been given the base station for a different model.

Mr.Scaleo

Thanks again johanna0507. But did you actually look under the basestation and it says 8V or is it only the adapter that says 8V? Or is it both?
I really need to know exactly what the deal is.

johanna0507

It is not mentioned on the base station, there are just some serial numbers on the label, nothing about the voltage. You can assume it takes 8V though, like I've been saying. If the voltage I've been using for a year was wrong, then something would have happened by now.

They're all made in the same factory, no doubt, so your model and mine will be identical.


I'll summarise this one last time: :

1)If you don't have the charger (base station) you are stuffed, and you might as well throw away the mouse becuase you'll never be able to charge it. Each mouse model from Logitech requires it's own charger and the chargers are not sold separately. To buy the exact model and make that you need will take extensive research on auction sites and you are unlikely to find one for sale in Sweden so you'd be paying hefty shipping fees to boot. For the price you'd pay if you found one you might as well buy a new mouse.

2)If you have the charger but lost the adapter or cord, then you need to get some juice into it so it can charge your mouse. In order to do that you need to use an 8V adapter like I've been saying. This is also the plug that goes into the electricity outlet in the wall. Just find any old 8V adapter that you have at home and merge it with the cable for charger. Hopefully it fits into the hole at the back of the charger. If not try to merge together cables until you've got a combination that works. You can also try asking friends what old chargers they have around. Somebody you know is bound to have an 8V charger.

I don't think I can help any more with this!

Mr.Scaleo

Thanks anyway you are pretty clear about this issue now. I just think it's weird your charger doesn't say anything about voltage since mine does and as you say they are made in the same factory. Ok but I don't like cutting stuff but I can buy an universal adapter that fits. I'll hope logitech will answer me to put the last peace in the puzzle. But to comment. They are really bad in answering quick and when you try again, instead of taking the time answering the question they refer back to the old issue. Really bad service.

Mr.Scaleo

Ok hopefully my last update on this matter, trying to put a lid on this issue.
I had good communication with my local store and I went there so we tested the universal adapter. It was a powerking 1200mA adapter, don't know how common it is. Anyway we set the adapter to 7.5 volts starting low in compare to 8V and used a proper connector with plus in the middle. It worked so I bought it. I have now fully loaded the mx1000. The adapter didn't even get hot nor the charger. No weird smell or so. So it's solved. The only thing I can complain on is that there is a glitch between th connector and the charger. You really have to tune the connector to make the charger charge the mouse.
By the way I still haven't got a bep from logitech support. With other words pray you don't get trouble with a logitech product and need to contact them

glad you have it sorted
