I bought a Microsoft wireless mouse 4000 a month ago. Yesterday it's receiver died on me. I suspect short circuit. After some research, I've realized that I was not alone with this problem, it could be a serial fault.
Once the question appeared on the forum before (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7hardware/thread/727a8f10-4aaf-4f1e-bea1-3a73f7e62cf9) but the issue was quickly dismissed.
I bought the thing whole on a trip in Europe and can't have it replaced. Thus the question is, whether to trust Microsoft for the second time and buy the same mouse again, or opt for something else? I need a mouse that works on rough surfaces. But as of now, I may need to overcome my liking for the device and opt for Logitech's Anywhere, unless you reassure me that you will have the transceiver replaced soon.

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000
Microsoft Replacement phone#: 800-933-4750. Product ID = D5D-00001. Have your 4000 mouse handy when you call them. They will need the Product ID (PID) from the bottom.
They will replace yours for free . Replacements carry a 3 yr warranty. You must keep the PID of the original mouse for the replacement warranty.
Hi ppl.
I have a simmilar problem. Mine is occasionally just not working. Thought it's another Keyboard/Mouse I'm guessing if one can get a free replacement for a model 4000 one should be available for model 7000 laser, which should have 5yr warranty, or am I wrong there? I'm not from the US though the keyboard was bought and shipped from there (atleast I think). Whom can I contact please?
Thank you all...
I've owned a Microsoft Mobile Wireless Mouse 4000 for 7 months before it turned suicidal. Now when I insert the nano receiver into USB port it initates plug-and-play-with-fire. After a few moments the receiver is hot to the touch. Great product if you want to light a cigarette, but I want to control my mouse pointer. Two thumbs down Microsoft.
Microsoft Mobile Mouse 4000 transceiver failed and HOT, Windows does not recognize USB device.
I'll call for replacement today, but I'll put in another data point. Bought my mouse May 15, 2010, and yesterday (Oct 18) when I plugged it in, I got the error message that the USB device was not recognized. I removed and replaced it, and got the same message. I gave it a few minutes, then removed it to try another USB port. When I did, it was pretty hot...which I'd never experienced with it before. When I tried another port, same message. I removed it immediately to prevent another overheat. When I tried another computer, same experience: Toast!
For what it's worth, I just threw my 3rd Mouse 4000 in the trash. The nano plugin was almost as hot as a cup of McDonalds coffee in the 1990's. Humm, I wonder...?
Well, anyway, three strikes. I'll buy Microsoft mice, but not with the nano receiver. The track record speaks for itself.
