Each time I got the no-charge red flashing light I called Logitec - Useless!! So, I bought replacement mice on e-bay and used my old cradle and dongle. Worked fine each time for a year - 18 mo.

Guess I was too soft. Anyway, opened up the mouse, and reseated the battery. Works. It seems when you are slam the mouse you actually move the battery inside in its internal craddle.

If the mouse is turned off it will not charge If the switch is not making a good connection it will cause the red light to flash to notify you of an error and that the charging has been halted to protect your device.

You slam it down like you would if you picked it up off your desk. Don't slam the button-side down, slam the bottom side that regularly sits on your desk. Mouse is currently charging perfectly!
