Hi, my mouse yesterday stopped working, suddenly. When I plug it in my PC, the PC detects it, but then it does not, and then it comes back, and so on. I've tried everything I know: different ports, computers... and the same thing in all of them.
1. Is this a hardware problem? I'm pretty sure, but who knows.
2. How can I fix it? I've recently purchased a soldering iron, a multi-meter and I want to start fixing electronic devices.
3. How can I check if an USB is working? I know it has pins, but it's almost impossible to touch one pin of one side and another pin of the other and see if there's low resistance (ohm).
I also have a USB cable that stopped working, and I wanna know what's the problem. I think it must be a defective pin, but I don't know how to test it.
Thanks!
EDIT:
I managed to solve it!
