Snakehn Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I love the apple mighty mouse overall, just the one thing it bugs me is the scroll ball that gets stuck when dirty. so tonight i was trying hard to clean it and put it upside down and rubbed it really hard against a sheet of paper in a flat surface, BAD idea, i rubbed it so hard that i destroyed the middle button which sits under the scroll ball, now i have a very clean mouse LOL but with the scroll and 2 buttons only. so if anybody have a non working mighty mouse feel free to let me know how much you want. thank you.

bonestonne Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 hate to say it like this, but you've got one hell of a problem on your hands. 1) the only way into a mighty mouse is to break it. tried and tested. personally. 2) there's only one button inside a mighty mouse. want pictures? 3) the assembly for the scroll ball is held onto the upper part of the shell by 3 small screws. you'll likely need just a whole new mouse if those mounts broke off. BTW, there's no button under the scroll wheel. its actually free floating. not to mention apple actually suggests using a lightly damp paper towel or cloth and running it over the scroll ball...not flipping the mouse over (you should see the assembly, its a real piece of work).

Snakehn Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 yeah i know i have to crack open the mouse and already seen plenty of pics, when i rubbed the mouse upside down, i say the little pieces of the little rubber plastic that i assume is the middle button or "only button" inside. i finally found the piece here: http://www.welovemacs.com/mightyrlrball.html even though they are selling the whole rubber ball assembly, is inexpensive anyway.
