Green power light does not illuminate despite new batteries

After confirming that new batteries are well seated in my Magic Mouse and are, of course, correctly oriented, the green-colored, pin-sized light on the mouse's bottom side still does not illuminate; thus, it will not connect via Bluetooth. For sure I have snapped the battery cover plate back in correctly and have also tried a second set of new batteries as well. In fact, both sets of batteries, if put into my Bluetooth-enabled keyboard, report being at 100% capacity within Apple's Bluetooth menu system, and a different Magic Mouse has no problems connecting to this computer, leading me to believe that the issue is clearly with the problem mouse itself. The mouse in question has been a faithful, well-working mouse for quite a long time, but it's only 2.5 years old, and has been well cared for the whole time. It has never been dropped and its exterior (top and bottom sides) is regularly wiped down with commercial disinfectant 'baby' wipes. There is no visible buildup of grime, dust, or dirt anywhere.

Update -- and solution: A posting within a discussion board that is located on a different site suggested that the interior end of the Magic Mouse's battery cavity can occassionally oxidize, which requires said ends to be carefully 'scraped clean.' I checked into that possibility and found no such oxidization. But there was a tiny bit of dust on both of the surfaces to which the top of the batteries make contact (not the pins, which the bottom of the batteries connect with). I cleaned that little bit of dust off with a cotton swab which had first been moistened with a disinfectant wipe, then reinserted the batteries and the cover plate, and then turned the mouse on.
