Hi chris. If you are sure the batteries are being installed with the
proper polarity, there is not anything else you can do except replace
the mouse.
If you are going to send your laptop away to be repaired, your best bet
is to clone the whole drive, or at least do a backup of any docs you
don't want to lose. I would normally recommend you take the hard drive
completely out, but since you have a sound problem it might be related
to the drivers, which are stored in the hard drive and they will need it
to be able to repair it. But I have heard more than once of people
getting their laptops back only to find that the drive had been
formatted and a fresh copy of Windows had been installed, resulting in a
loss of ALL their data. Most shops are just looking for the fastest way
to solve the problem, and if a fresh install is it, that is what they
do. It takes considerable time and effort to repair a corrupted
operating system properly while saving all the data and applications
already installed.
