Default optical mouse malfunction

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...
