    Hi, I’m having a problem with my USB mouse: It keeps disconnecting and then I have to pull it out and reconnect it. Sometimes if I’m lucky, It works but when I’m not, it will take a couple frustrating tries, bangs, and a blow of air in the plug to work. I tried downloading the drivers but when I looked it up, I couldn’t find the right one. By the way, the mouse is a Dell mouse. And in case you can provide me with a link for a driver that corresponds with my computer’s model, my computer’s service tag is: H21WLB1 .

    Thank You
