how to disassemble an apple puck mouse?
I find myself in need of completely disassembling an old Apple puck mouse (I want to repurpose it for something cool) and my google-fu is weak today...all I can find are things like 'with a hammer! nyuck nyuck!' or instructions for a Mighty Mouse. I need to disassemble the entire shell..non-destructively (or at least re-assemblable), and just to be clear, I'm talking about this: http://www.applegazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/puckmouse.jpg -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

However, virtually all Apple mice (mouses?) I have taken apart have one or more screws on the bottom, generally hidden under a label. If you press on the label you should be able to locate the holes. If you want to preserve the label, you can often carefully peel up a corner to access the screws and then stick it back down.

About two minutes after I sent it, I found this: http://www.applefritter.com/node/1881, which is precisely what you said, and right under those were some screws holding the whole thing together. What are you going to do with it? Make it optical? LEDs? Turn it into an FM radio? Our office has a Ace Hardware wireless doorbell, as it's normally locked, and you can't hear someone knocking very well either in our desk areas or back in the server room. The cheap switch wore out, so I'm transplanting the transmitter guts into the body of the mouse, using the mouse clicker switch to replace the broken one, and mounting it on the door.

G4 IBM Deskstar clicking
Hi all, My G4 Sawtooth hard drive, IBM Deskstar 20Gb made a clicking sound and suddenly stopped ie I got a flashing question mark displayed on startup. Presumably system files could not be read. I changed out the drive with a fresh OS (10.4.11) install and am up and running. Of course, I have un-backed-up files on that drive I would like to retrieve. Are there any inexpensive options? I vaguely remember a fix that involved freezing the drive. Any ideas?
