İmleç donup duruyordu, ama fareyi yeniden bağlayınca sorun düzeldi.

Donup duruyordu is a common Turkish way of saying that something kept freezing or was just sitting there frozen.

It is made of:

• donup = from donmak (to freeze), here in a linking form
• duruyordu = from durmak (to stand / stay / keep doing), in the past continuous

Together, this structure often gives the sense of:

• kept doing X
• continued to be in X state
• was stuck doing X

So İmleç donup duruyordu means something like:

• The cursor kept freezing
• The cursor was constantly freezing
• The cursor would just freeze and stay that way

Because -Ip / -up / -üp / -ıp can link one verb to another, and in this kind of pattern it adds a nuance that English often expresses with kept, went and, or stayed.

Compare:

• donuyordu = it was freezing
• donup duruyordu = it kept freezing / it would freeze and stay frozen

So donup duruyordu is stronger and more descriptive than plain donuyordu. It suggests repeated or annoying persistence.

The -up form here follows vowel harmony:

• from don- → donup

Here duruyordu does not simply mean was standing in a physical sense. With another verb before it, durmak often works as an auxiliary-like verb that adds the idea of:

• continuation
• persistence
• staying in a state
• repetition in an irritating way

So in this sentence, duruyordu helps convey that the cursor was not just freezing once; it was repeatedly or persistently doing so.

This is a very natural Turkish pattern:

• ağlayıp durdu = he/she kept crying
• söylenip duruyor = he/she keeps complaining
• donup duruyordu = it kept freezing

Duruyordu contains:

• duruyor = is staying / keeps doing
• -du = past

So duruyordu means was doing / kept doing in the past.

That fits the sentence because it describes an ongoing problem in the past:

• first, the cursor was freezing repeatedly
• then, after reconnecting the mouse, the issue got fixed

So the past continuous is natural because it sets up a background situation that was happening before the resolution.

Bağlayınca comes from:

• bağlamak = to connect / attach / tie
• bağlayınca = when (someone) connects / after connecting

The ending -yınca / -yince means something like:

• when
• once
• after

So:

• fareyi yeniden bağlayınca = when/after reconnecting the mouse

The y appears because the verb stem ends in a vowel in this form and Turkish uses a buffer consonant.

This structure is very common:

• gelince = when he/she comes
• bitirince = when he/she finishes
• bağlayınca = when he/she connects

Turkish often leaves the subject unstated when it is obvious or unimportant.

So fareyi yeniden bağlayınca literally means:

• when reconnecting the mouse
• when [someone] reconnected the mouse

The subject could be:

• I
• you
• we
• someone

The sentence does not specify, because the important point is the sequence of events, not who did it.

In natural English, depending on context, you might translate it as:

• when I reconnected the mouse
• when we reconnected the mouse
• after reconnecting the mouse

Because fare is the direct object of bağlamak here, and it is a specific mouse: the mouse.

Turkish often marks definite/specific direct objects with the accusative ending:

• fare = a mouse / mouse in a more general sense
• fareyi = the mouse / that mouse as a specific object

So:

• fare bağlayınca would sound odd here
• fareyi bağlayınca = when [someone] connected the mouse

This is a very important Turkish pattern:

• kitap okudum = I read a book / I did book-reading
• kitabı okudum = I read the book

Yeniden means again or anew. In this sentence it is best understood as re- or again:

• fareyi yeniden bağlayınca = when reconnecting the mouse

It is often similar to tekrar, and in many contexts both can mean again.

Very roughly:

• yeniden can sound a little more like anew / once more / re-
• tekrar often just means again / another time

In this sentence, yeniden fits especially well because reconnecting something is naturally a re-connection.

Yes, more or less.

• sorun = problem
• düzeldi = got fixed / improved / became corrected

This comes from düzelmek, which is usually intransitive:

• düzelmek = to get better / to be fixed / to become corrected
• düzeltmek = to fix / to correct something

So:

• Sorun düzeldi = The problem got fixed / The issue was resolved
• Sorunu düzelttim = I fixed the problem

Turkish often prefers this kind of wording where English might use either:

• the problem was fixed or
• the problem went away

Because sorun is the subject of düzeldi, not the object.

• sorun düzeldi = the problem got fixed
• sorunu düzeltti = he/she fixed the problem

This is the key contrast:

• düzelmek = intransitive → no direct object
• düzeltmek = transitive → takes a direct object

So in the sentence, the problem is the thing that changed state, which is why it stays in the plain nominative form sorun.

Yes. That would be perfectly natural.

Compare:

• fareyi yeniden bağlayınca sorun düzeldi
• fareyi yeniden bağladıktan sonra sorun düzeldi

Both can mean after reconnecting the mouse, the problem was fixed.

The difference is mainly one of style and nuance:

• -yınca / -yince often means when / once / after
• -dıktan sonra is more explicitly after doing

So bağlayınca is a bit shorter and lighter, while bağladıktan sonra is slightly more explicit.

Ama simply means but.

Here it connects the problem and the solution:

• İmleç donup duruyordu = the problem
• ama fareyi yeniden bağlayınca sorun düzeldi = but after reconnecting the mouse, it got fixed

Turkish usually places ama at the beginning of the contrasting clause, just like English often does with but.

So the structure is very straightforward:

• statement 1
• ama
• contrasting statement 2

İmleç usually means cursor or pointer, especially in computing.

Depending on context, English might say:

• cursor
• mouse pointer
• sometimes caret in text-editing contexts, though that is more specific

In this sentence, because the next part talks about fare (mouse), imleç is most naturally understood as the on-screen cursor/pointer.

The given order is very natural, but Turkish word order is fairly flexible.

The sentence:

• İmleç donup duruyordu, ama fareyi yeniden bağlayınca sorun düzeldi.

is neutral and natural.

You could rearrange parts for emphasis, for example:

• Fareyi yeniden bağlayınca sorun düzeldi, ama imleç donup duruyordu.

But that changes the focus and sounds less natural for the intended meaning, because now it sounds like the fixing happened first in the discourse.

In Turkish, the default tendency is:

• background or context first
• result or main point later

So the original sentence flows well:

1. there was a problem
2. then a contrast
3. then the problem got resolved

It is mostly neutral everyday Turkish.

Nothing in it is especially slangy or literary. It sounds like something a person might naturally say when describing a computer issue.

A few notes:

• donup duruyordu is vivid and conversational, but still normal standard Turkish
• yeniden bağlayınca is natural and neutral
• sorun düzeldi is very common and standard

So this is a good example of ordinary spoken or written Turkish about a technical problem.
