Happy New Year to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi: Further examination revealed two more screws under the other two glide pads. Four screws in all. After removal of the other screws it snapped appart easily. I repaired two broken wires in the cable and the mouse now works good as new. Thanks to all for the advice.
