So yesterday night I took apart my Mighty Mouse
My scroll thingy hasn't worked for ages, probably about a year. So I was fishing around on the Apple site and quite a few people seemed to be having the same problem. I'd gotten over it a long time ago but seeing all the posts kind of infuriated me into action.
I spent about 2 hours last night (at least) getting my scroll to work! GAH.
I'm sure many of you have them so here's what you should do:
1. Clean it with a wet cloth
2. Stick a pin/toothpick inside around the rim and get all the gunk outta there
3. Turn your mouse upside down and roll it on a clean sheet of paper (this one's really good)
4. Try cleaning it with a bit of alcohol but NOT Windex
And if all else fails... open up the damn thing.
That's what I ended up doing. Now, that thing is not meant to open! It's superglued together. But it's pretty cool once you do, and now it works fine! I wasn't bothered to glue it back together, so now my mouse is being held together with sticky tape.
So yes. You'll need a thin knife, a small screwdriver and some sticky tape. Fun fun!
OH I watched the new Indiana Jones movie on the day it came out, and despite what the critics say, I really enjoyed it! It was a good movie. All of it. Including the ending. Go watch it, it's a fun afternoon. It didn't exactly have much substance or make me think particularly hard, but that's kind of to be expected.
