*Resolved* MX700 Question

[JustAnAverageGuy]

What does it mean when the light blinks red really fast when you put it in the charger?

I'm not talking about a low battery alert either.

Hard to explain, perhaps a video works better?

It just started doing that yesterday.

I would assume that the rechargable batteries are dead and need replacing.

yes....

however, when this happened to me, i just opened up my mouse, switched the location of the two batteries, and it worked! i've been on it for six months...

but that is correct - if it flashes red on the base, most likely it is saying the rechargeable nimh batteries need to be replaced.

batteries are dying (red flashing light). Its not on the charger properly. When on the charger and charging its always green.
