When cleaning a mouse, it is important to know that the internal mechanism of both optical and laser models is a fragile and complex mechanism, which must be interacted with carefully and step by step. By following a few simple steps, you can clean the mouse from grease and dust in a quality manner without damaging the mechanism itself.
Necessary
brush, vacuum cleaner, screwdriver
Instructions
Step 1
Clean the USB cable of the mouse. If the reason for carrying out these procedures was the computer ignoring the device, then it is quite possible that either the usb-input on the mouse or computer is simply clogged. Bring the hose from the vacuum cleaner to the adapter or computer panel, and using a brush, gently sweep out the accumulated dust in the adapter. If you do not want to connect a vacuum cleaner to this procedure, you can blow through the mechanism yourself.
Step 2
Unscrew the fasteners from the back of the mouse. If some of the buttons on the mouse body are stuck or not responding, then the problem is most likely in the mouse itself. Therefore, the first step is to dismantle the case and clean the "insides". Be careful with the screws and bolts that you removed from the mouse. They are often lost, it is best to remove them before the procedures in a small sachet or simply away from the place of cleaning.
Step 3
Use cotton swabs to clean the cavity of the mouse. The main epicenters of the accumulation of dirt will be visible to you as soon as you disassemble it. These are interlayers between buttons, flaps and small cracks in the case, which have been accumulating dirt all this time.
Step 4
Use a soldering iron if necessary. If this or that contact has departed from a strong blow or for other reasons, you just need to return it to its place. The soldering machine is perfect for these needs, however, if it is not there, it is not worth spending money on it. In most cases, it will be cheaper to buy a new mouse.
