How to Repair your mouse

I bought an optical mouse from Cdr king, it only lasted for about 2 weeks.  After 2 weeks of use the mouse started to malfunction the right click button cannot be pressed.

Tracking Technology:  Optical
Resolution: 800 dpi

Bought from:  CDr king


Things you need

Soldering iron
Lead
Philips screwdriver
Fan
Replacement switch
Gloves
Goggles


Problem
your mouse double click even if you click only once, or the mouse cannot click.  These maybe be cause by the mouse switch gone bad.



Procedure

1.  Open your fan make sure that the air blows on the opposite direction, so the air is suck away from you.
2.  Plug in your soldering Iron.
3.  While your waiting for your soldering iron to get hot unscrew your mouse.



4.  Look for the bottom of the mouse and unsolder the switch that gone bad.
If you do not know what is the switch, its the things that goes click
5.  Replace the broken switch with the new one and solder it again.




6.  Usually the right or left switch clicker goes bad, if this happens and you don't have a replacement switch take the middle switch.  It is the one with the wheel. 

Note:
If you don't know how to use the soldering Iron do not do this tutorial.  Soldering iron can become extremely hot.
