Hi,

My Mighty Mouse doesn't scroll down anymore, only up, the buttons all
work. How can I open the darn thing and have a look? Or should I just
forget about scrolling down and get a PC mouse? I'm using Tiger on a
MDD Dual 1.25.

TIA for your input.

Best regards, Jörg.



I've tried the usual ideas with isopropyl alcohol etc., but the most effective 
thing for me was holding the mouse upside down with the scroll ball resting on 
a clean sheet of A4 copier paper, and running it up & down, side to side, and 
round & round for 10 - 20 seconds.

That's generally cured it. OK, the problem might come back in a couple of 
weeks, but another upside down rub still clears it.

That's at work.

At home, I bought a Magic Mouse. Problem over.

Ted
