| 1147653 | 2010-10-26 00:47:00 | Anyone know where I can get mouse parts? like replacement teflon pads, USB cables etc? I have a Logitech with a faulty cable, and its not too cheap to replace... | Deimos (5715) | ||

A cabled mouse that is dead = sounds like it might not be worthwhile replacing the individual parts of the input device? My 2 cents :) |

| 1147660 | 2010-10-26 04:51:00 | Have you pulled the mouse apart? A common problem I have found with a lot of mice is the USB cable pulling away from the circuit board. Usually resoldering it back in place properly is a good fix :) | SoniKalien (792) | ||

Usually resoldering it back in place properly is a good fix :) Yeah I pulled it apart and there was nothing obviously wrong with it, but after I stripped away the braided outer, and then the rubber insulation after that I found that the shield/earth wire (which completely incases the other cables) had almost completely broken and another wire had semi broken and was shorting with the shield/earth wire Stop using sandpaper for a mouse mat. That would be the only way to wear out teflon pads surely. The process of pulling my mouse apart left my teflon pads a little worse for wear, I managed to get it back on with some double sided tape to rectify the situation, but I'm still left with one dead (expensive) mouse. pricespy.co.nz G9X - Cabled and not exactly cheap. There are relatively expensive cabled mice still readily available. I have 2 G5s a classic G5 and the 2007 refresh, I ended up sacrificing the older G5 to fix the newer one (IDK how the older one outlasted the newer one, and I fixed the "design flaw" that caused the newer one to fail) niether was cheap, over $100 each, I'm thinking about removing the internal plug and just soldier the wire on directly, and double sided tape to re-attach the teflon, but I would still like to know if it would be possible to just buy the parts, it seems like a waste of time having to desoldier a plug etc. Now I'm seriously considering upgrading my now fixed G5 2007 with a G500, I can then use the G5 2007 to replace the classic G5. |
