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…

    Hey Folks
    I’ve been around here for a while now, and I finally found something worth writing about: I found a great deal on custom Entertainment Centers . These guys have 24/7 call-in service and they installed AND delivered my custom Wall Mount tv Cabinets all for Free!!! I just bought from them, and I’ve never had a more seamless internet buy -they ACTUALLY called me to confirm the order and talk about delivery time… unreal!

    Enjoy

    Пусть будет этот День Весны
    Для Вас особенно чудесным
    И полным ясной глубины
    И пряных запахов древесных.
    Пусть алый цвет и бирюза
    Рождают праздничность и песни,
    Пусть будут яркими глаза,
    И будут радостными вести.

    Май для россиян — это особенный месяц, отмеченный двумя очень важными весенними праздниками. День Победы и Праздник весны и труда — это дни, когда мы в очередной раз благодарим старшее поколение за мир и блага, ради которых они трудились и сражались.
    Спраздничком Вас http://www.paulobrien.net
