Problem with my ball…

// November 21st, 2008 // Random

Over the past few weeks, the little scrolly ball on my Apple Might Mouse has been misbehaving.

It has gradually got to the point it was at today, whereby scrolling up / left / right works, but down doesn’t. Huh.

After reading around on the web I discovered that this is actually quite common, but there are a whole load of weird and wonderful possible solutions suggested. Incredibly, Apple suggest you hold your mouse upside down and roll the wheel around. Unsurprisingly, that alone didn’t work!

So here’s what I did…

- Get a sheet of blank paper

- Wet the ball of the mouse very slightly

- Hold mouse upside down and roll it around firmly and in all different directions on said piece of paper

Chances are you will see small flecks of dirt on the paper. After doing this, all should be well! It worked for me!

:-)

P

PS Probably worth turning the mouse off before you do this, or your machine will probably go a bit crazy…

    I think the defeat to Dutchman, at this World Cup they deserved the victory more than others. I, though not an octopus, but predict a goal Sneijder.
