Might Mouse - Cleaning Inside?

[HelixOmnimedia]

Hey,

I have a wireless Might Mouse and over the last four months the scrolling began to deteriorate, and today it has completely gone.
I have cleaned the ball every month, but it just kept getting worse. I've tried everything today, but its still not working.

Is there anyway for getting inside of it to remove the ball and clean it and parts inside.

Thanks for any information

What I would recommend is to call AppleCare if your mouse is less than 1 year old otherwise here is how to take it apart to clean the ball http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/dissect.ars

Mouse goes downhill again!

Thanks, Omni - it really works! Use a dry clean cloth (the kind for drying glasses) and do it vigorously for a while, and even blow into the ball socket from time to time. Don't give up when it first starts to scroll again - keep going a bit longer. Bingo!

I had a mouse replaced by Apple under warranty for this problem, then it happened to the new one. A lot of people out there probably need to know this tip.
