Hey everyone, I finally received my 15'" 2.4Ghz MBP last night and absolutely fell in love with the computer. Though, my excitement was shortlived once I ran into a problem with my brand new MM. I opened the box, popped in the batteries, and turned it on.. Half way through getting it connected with the MBP, it all of a sudden shuts off... now it wont turn back on!!! I tried replacing the batteries but it still wont turn on.. Can anybody help me??
Thanks in advance,
Leke

Welcome to Mac-Forums, Leke.

What type of surface are you using the MM on? I ask because a friend of mine bought a wireless Apple Keyboard and a Mighty Mouse and the surface was some kind of funky pattern that the sensors went haywire on. Once she placed a mouse pad under both of them, all worked perfectly.

Try putting a different surface under your MM and see where that takes you. Report back with the outcome. Good luck!

Ok well you have made doubly sure they are inserted the way they ought to be?

If so, take it back, you obviously have a defective unit and ask for a new one as a replacement.

Mine works very well but people can get lemons once in a while.
