Don't know about a tutorial, but it basically involves opening the mouse up and cutting off a bit of the wire at the mouse end, as that is where the damage will be. Then with the use of a soldering iron reconnect the wire to the mouse.

Only done it on two diamondbacks, I wouldn't advise you to try it in all honesty considering your age. Ask your dad or something, its not too difficult.

Well what exactly happens? If you keep getting the connection beep when moving it around a bit, and have to plug it back in to get it working a bit, then its a connection problem.

Sorry to generalize but I wouldn't really trust a 14 year old with a soldering iron. Anyway, if you really want to do it then you should be able to do without pictures. You can pretty much see where the wire is connected to the mouse. Carefully remove the wire from the mouse, and cut about 8cms off the wire, although you may have to cut off more. Then take the wire and strip the insulation off it and solder on the wire to the connections you just removed them from.

2 options possible

1) you want to play seriously -> u need money for good mouse

2) you dont want to play seriously-> u dont need money, u can buy cheap mouse


fixing your "expensive" mouse is stupid
