Mouse cleaning

Hmm, today abit NTBD or perhaps the dirt in my mouse really reach the annoying stage already. XD Hence prepare the tools, a philips screw driver, clothes and thats it. All the tools ready and now we ready to go. First of all, of course we start from the bottom of the mouse.

1. Find the only screw which normally you can found below warranty sticker. XD (Don't torn it if your mouse still under warranty la of course).


2. After get the only screw removed, turn the mouse over. Then slowly pull it, and remember don't use extra force as everything is design in such a way that it can be easily removed through the correct way. XD


3. Now you can see there is a wire attached on the circuit. Remove it with care and remember the rule (DO NOT USE FORCE). This is to prevent the wire damage while you removing the circuit from the base.


4. To remove the scroll from the circuit, this is the hard part here. First use your left hand to lift the circuit from bottom (Start from bottom because the scroll are placed on the top connected with the base). Then use your right hand to lightly press on top of the circuit, and remove the scroll from the clip of the base. Again, do not use force. XD


5. Tadaa.. you have successfully remove the circuit from the base. Let me explain what is the purpose of those things on the board.

1. Right Click Button
2. Middle Click Button
3. Mouse scroll
4. Left click button
5. Wire connector
6. Sensor chip

6. Ok, now put those exploring component activity aside, now get started with cleaning the mouse cover. Before that, remove the 3 screw beneath the cover in order to remove it completely, so that dust beneath it can be cleaned easily.


7. This is the cover that tied by the 3 screws.


8. Start cleaning. XD


9. After cleaning, reverse back the process, connect back what is unconnected, and screw back what is unscrewed, and tadaa... a clean cute mouse. Look like new, except the torn warranty sticker.. (!-.-)


That all for the mouse cleaning story, hahaaha. Now I've to start coding with the TechWarrior Managing System for my clan. Bye.. :P
