Personal computers have long been impossible to imagine without a keyboard and mouse, which are the main intermediaries in the "communication" between the user and technology. Unfortunately, mice break down and start to junk quite often. The computer mouse can be disassembled and cleaned.
Instructions
Step 1
Dirt and dust penetrates ball mice best of all, falling under the roller. The cursor begins to twitch when moving, or it may not move at all in any direction. Therefore, it is very important to use a rug and make sure that no dust accumulates on it.
Step 2
Disconnect the manipulator from the PC, but only with the system unit turned off. The body of the mouse can be cleaned with an ordinary damp cloth and a small amount of liquid soap. But do not try to wash your mouse under running water. True, the case itself after disassembling the optical (namely optical) mouse can be thoroughly rinsed. It's just that mechanical mice also have a microcircuit that cannot always be removed from the case.
Step 3
Take a small Phillips screwdriver and remove the small screw found in the recess on the bottom of the robot arm. Usually the body is in two parts. There may also be a small latch on the side of the screw. Separate the case gently without using too much force.
Step 4
If the mouse is optical, you need to gently wipe the glowing red "eye" in its lower part using a match with a cotton swab or an ear stick. You can also use a can of compressed air. Carefully remove the large IC from the optical mouse case and free the plastic parts from dust, dirt and hair (wool). Remove the rubber-coated ball from the ball mouse and wash it with soap or rubbing alcohol. Pay particular attention to the mouse wheel and its mountings. There, too, dirt often accumulates.
Step 5
For mechanical removal of dirt, it is better not to use a knife or razor, but to take a small plastic scraper. Scrape off dirt thoroughly with it where possible.
Step 6
After removing dust and adhering dirt, remove grease from the rotating parts of the arm. This can be done with a soft, lint-free cloth soaked in alcohol. Also, rub all the insides of the mouse with rubbing alcohol to keep dust from accumulating longer.
Step 7
Now you can assemble the mouse. Put the microcircuit (wheel) back and close the case. See do not pinch the wire. Tighten the screw and consider that the mouse is clean.
