my mighty mouse's scroll wheel wont scroll up. it scrolls down, left and right but not up. it happens in every app. i tried turning it on and off. restarting the computer. but nothing helps. can i take it apart to try n fix it myself? can i return it to apple; do these things have a warranty?
Got a tip for us?

They do have a warranty on them. I think it's only 1 year. Here is what apple says to do to clean it. If that doesn't work take it into a retail store and they should replace it.

Just clean the scroll ball that is most likely the problem. If that doesn't work than the only thing to do would take it to an Apple store.
