Even the best, high-quality mice tend to clog up. There are many such small cracks in them, where a needle can barely crawl, but dust and hair are placed there comfortably. And sometimes coffee is spilled on this little device so inappropriately. What to do when the mouse is clogged and the buttons and wheel do not give the desired response? There is only one way out, or rather two: you can simply throw out the mouse, and if this was not part of your plans, you will have to disassemble the mouse.
It is necessary
Small Phillips screwdriver, screw storage container
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the mouse for disassembly. To do this, disconnect it from the computer and place it on the table with the base upside down. Locate the mounting screw on the bottom of the mouse. The cogs are sometimes not immediately visible, as they are often hidden under stickers. In this case, first remove all stickers from the base of the mouse.
Step 2
Unscrew the fixing screws carefully. The screw heads on mice are usually cross-shaped, so you need the same screwdriver. The screws are located in recesses, it will be easier to remove them with a magnetic screwdriver. It is important, after unscrewing, to put the screws in the prepared container, otherwise they will be lost.
Step 3
Open the case. To do this, hold the top and bottom surfaces of the mouse with both hands and pull the cover towards you. Calculate how hard it is so that you do not break off the latch on the lid near the cord. It is best to pull the cover up and slightly to the left. Now you can purge and clean the inside of the mouse from the accumulated debris and dust.
Step 4
Remove the scroll wheel from the base of the mouse. There are different scroller attachment designs. More often it is enough to pull up and the wheel will be removed along with its mount or latch. There is often a lot of hair wrapped around the scroller axis. Remove this hair with a suitable tool.
Step 5
Take out the board or mouse microcircuit. The board is fastened with latches, or screwed on with screws. Bend the latches gently with your fingers. And unscrew the screws and put them with the rest of the details. Pulling the board lightly upward, separate it from the mouse body. That's it, the analysis of the mouse is over.
