I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

I was using the computer this morning when suddenly, the mouse refused to scroll down. I thought shit not again... means the roller spoilt... cos last time already encountered this problem before and i brought the mighty mouse to the apple svc centre and they helped me changed a brand new one. But i think that's because got warranty.

And i don't want to spend time going to get it fixed again. Somemore i've got a gut feeling no more warranty and Apple repair fees are usually exorbitant. A new mighty mouse means spending more money, which i don't want to.

So I looked at the mouse. There's NO visible screw. And now that's the thing about Apple stuff. Sleekness and coolness. Well... i reckon if there's no screw, it's either glue or it's all snap and fix.

And i was thinking... here goes... it's either i fix the scroller problem, or i spoilt the whole damn mouse.

So i first used my fingers to pry open whatever parts i could... and trust me man... this isn't some normal lego toy... everything's like fixed so tightly. But heng i propped open a part and from there i could see more of the inside and how the structure is like.

But the 2nd part i used all my cow strength also cannot open. Ok la not all but i scared i break something. (But something really broke). So i went to get a flat tip screwdriver and seriously man... having a tool helped tremendously... i just slot the tip in and turn a bit then the part came out. Opened until the inside then sia la... got 3 cross-head screws inside. Went to get a cross-tip screwdriver and unscrolled them. Removed all the dirt and shit and fixed back everything. Almost everything.

The 2nd part... that part which i couldn't open with my fingers... that part which i pry open with the screwdriver.. well... the top part broke. It's a plastic piece in the shape of a running track... and that part between the 300m and 400m broke. BUTTTT.... upon examining it, i think that part isn't snapped in one... it's held by glue...

Ahhhhh~~

Anyway, i quickly plug in the mouse minus the part and tried...

IT WORKKKKSSSS~!!!!!!

=)))))))))))

But now it looks like a bottomless mouse.

And i don't know whether to glue the plastic piece back or not because what if it spoils again?
