Thank you, Vanguard! I thought this kind of mouse didn't collect

inside (the opening is tiny), but I'll check it out.


Don't waste your time listening to that nutter. He hasn't seen an
optical mouse yet.

There is nothing you can do except to get a new one.

Obviously Tester hasn't bothered to ever turn over an optical mouse to
notice the sensor is INSIDE the case, not attached outside the case.
The sensor is also not hermetically sealed inside the case. There is a
gap and that's where lint and hair get inside. Looks like Tester thinks
an optical mouse is sealed and will never have anything get inside. He
obviously has never worked on this hardware and probably anything else.

Consider Tester's "advice" the same as Dan C's who always responds with
"format your hard disk" to anyone asking for help. Tester isn't here to
help you.


And of course the obvious response, Vanguard, is that I followed your
suggestion, and it worked. As I mentioned earlier, I had no idea there was
an opening in the mouse. Now I do, thanks to you.
