Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 3600 not working

Post by KevinM87 »

I'm having a similar issue as this topic viewtopic.php?f=49&t=229361. I can't get Linux Mint 18 to find my Microsoft 3600 mouse.

For me the solution in the other thread did not work. I could pair/trust/connect multiple times and still mouse wouldn't work.
To fix I just needed to do run modprobe uhid. Found the solution here - https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtop ... 0#p1041452

Dumb question:

Have you replaced the Battery with a fresh one at the full 1.5 volts?

Been there, dun that.

Maybe the bluetuith app will work for you:
viewtopic.php?p=2241180#p2241180

Or, turn power management off in Terminal:
sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/*
