optical mouse malfunction
"VanguardLH" wrote in message ... snip You were right, Paul--it's a broken wire. Unfortunately, the mouse may be TOO well made. There are five wires in a cord or sleeve (not sure what to call it); and at the mouse end, besides their being taped together and to the sleeve, each wire is crimped into a separate hole in a plastic piece. I suspect they'd all have to be carefully taken out of that piece, cut far enough back to get past the break in the one wire, wherever it is, and then recrimped (assuming the plastic piece survives). Moreover, there's a plastic "buffering" piece on the outside of the sleeve at the entryway to the mouse, and it doesn't come off. I'm very tempted to write to the company to ask if it can sell me another cord...

I had a hard time getting close enough with my camera to do a clear shot, but I tried. The result is he http://tinypic.com/r/v418ph/6 Jo-Anne |
