Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the work surface in such a way as to exclude the loss of small component parts of the mouse, it is best to cover the table with a light-colored cloth. Disconnect the external mounts of the Apple mouse, then pry the bottom of the mouse lightly with a small, flat object, such as a plastic card or a non-sharp knife. Carefully detach the bottom of it, but not completely, as you can damage the cables inside. In case you break them, it will be very difficult to get new ones, most likely you will have to replace your pointing device.
Step 2
Disconnect the cables that connect the mouse to the microcircuit, while carefully holding them by the bases, it is quite difficult to do this the first time, so try not to damage the plugs. Also hold the IC as it is also easy to break when removing the plugs. Unfasten the Apple Mouse Ball Mount and remove it from the mechanism. Do not lose it in any way, but it is best to put it aside in a place specially designated for small parts.
Step 3
Disconnect the IC from the bottom base of the mouse case. Disconnect any remaining mouse elements without using too much effort. The assembly of the device is carried out in reverse order. Use only screwdrivers of the correct size for assembling and disassembling the Apple mouse, since it will be quite difficult to find damaged mounts of the required length and diameter in the future.
Step 4
If you disassemble an Apple mouse for subsequent repair, make sure you have the skills to work with such a technique, it is also advisable to have a special service manual with you, which can be obtained on the Internet. If this is your first time dealing with the repair of pointing devices, contact a specialized service center.
