TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Penguin (wired version)
- Make sure your Penguin is firmly plugged into your computer’s USB port
- Try using a different USB port. If possible plug it directly into the computer i.e. not through any monitors/keyboards/hubs etc.
- Although your Penguin is plug & play, make sure your computer is up to date with the latest drivers/operating software for pointing devices
- Check that the sensor on the underside of the Penguin isn’t covered and has a clear line of sight to the surface below. Also check that your Penguin has not been dropped which could dislodge the laser.
- Try using the Penguin on a mouse mat / non-reflective surface
- Close your computer down and reboot
