REASSEMBLY
Step 1 — Sensor
Using a spudger, carefully pry off the stickers to reveal the location of four
screws.
Step 2
Using your Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws.
Step 3
Using a spudger, carefully pry apart the upper and lower
housing
Make sure you are not using too much pressure, as you could warp the plastic.
Step 4
Disconnect the wires from the white crimping headers.
Pull as far up on the wire as possible, but be careful to avoid ripping the wires.
Step 5
Remove the scroll wheel from the motherboard by pulling it to the
left.
This may take some force to remove. Make sure to pull it parallel to the board, instead of perpendicularly..
Step 6
Gently lift the motherboard away from the plastic
housing.
Use an iFixit grounding strap or another antistatic measure to prevent sensitive components from electrostatic discharge during this step.
Step 7
- Desolder the six wires holding the I.C. in place to complete the sensor change.
- Replace the broken sensor with the new sensor and solder back in place.
- Make sure none of your solder connections are bridged as this can cause serious damage to your mouse.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
