mx518%

by Sungi • 7 Mar 2009, 08:26 • Journals
Mm so my roccat is so homo that it broke its wheel after 2 months of use I need to fix my MX518. The mouse is losing connection and I think its because of the broken cable (the fiercer moves I make the more it happens -> cable might be detached).

Anyone know how to get the cable out and back in without damaging the mouse badly?

roccat still has warranty? and for the mx518, open it and see if theres something wrong
maybe cut the wire a bit from the mouse side and replace it in its place
i had some problem with mx518's wheel and i opened it, i pulled the wheel away and there was some broken quill and i took it off.. now the wheel is working but it doesnt have the wheeling sound or the "wheeling steps"

Buy a new one or unscrew the base, it's easy enough to open

open mouse, deisolate main wire till you notice a break and then connect them somehow back. can try explaining it in detail, but only if i am force to do so :>

worked with just a SWISS (ftw) ARMY KNIFE and without a MacGyver

EDIT: MacGyvers had fullspawn!
