New Mouse

[munson]

So, I LOVE my Mighty Mouse, but, it has finally somewhat kicked the bucket. I've had it since November '07 and it has sustained heavy use. Now, the mouse wheel will not scroll down. At first, I thought this was simply the dirt issue again, but no matter what I do it will not change.

So, there are two ways I could solve this problem:

1. Try to open the ol' mighty mouse and fix it (which, I would love to do)
2. Buy a new one (not something I want to do)

If no one will give me a how-to/point me to one, could you suggest a place to buy a mighty mouse for cheap (wireless) or a 4-button mouse that might perform well that I can get for cheap?

I tried that first, actually, but after a couple pages of search results I gave up. I feel like a lazy bum now. :\ Hopefully someone will help me anyway.

Did you try searching, using the link I gave you? Looks like something appropriate popped up on the first page.

I actually made a tutorial site for cleaning the MM a while ago. I took it off-line though, and Comcast seems to be down so I can't put it back.

I ziped up the files, and uploaded them to RapidShare though: http://rapidshare.com/files/131026630/Mighty_Mouse_Tutorial_Page.zip.html

Just extract them, and open index.html

Hope it helps..

That happens to me all the time. just push the ball down as hard as you can, and spin it in all directions. Usually works..;)
