Mouse wandering to corner (and bouncing)

[blutach]

Can anybody assist on this one please?

The problem with wandering corners has been solved - magnificnet work guys and thanks BUT:

The wheel is giving me the "irrites". I can roll the wheel down no probs. Even quickly and it just stops at the bottom of the screen. HOWEVER, rolling up is entirely different. Sometime, a notch rolling up is ignored, other times, (particularly at the top of the scrollbar, although this just might be noticeable because it's the end of a longish scroll), it "bounces" and goes back down! The ignored notch up is a definitely an "up" followed by a bounce down.

So, I have a bouncing upwards mouse.

Is there a way to perhaps clean it or whatever? It is a M$ Wireless Optical Mouse (and appears to be a sealed unit)

HELP PLEASE! My mouse is driving me crazy.

Knowing blu he's probably got 5 or 6 thousand posts on that mouse.

take a cue tip and clean the laser cover and pickup with mild solvent
if you can't pry off the covers around the wheel take air compressor and try to dislodge anything around wheel or vacuum.

Carefull there Anonimez... I suggested that earlier and got bad rep for it....

@ blu

I know that it's getting to you (this mouse thing) buddy, but this is why my short reply earlier on...

@Floppy - thank you for your advice. I don't care if your reply was short - I am open to all suggestions (would like, if at all possible, to keep this mouse as I have the matching keyboard which gives no trouble at all, despite my constant pounding on it).

you could buy a new one take it apart and tranfer the innerds to your mouse shell...

Or buy the same keyboard and mouse again put the old one in box and take it back and say it dont work...

Trouble is the shell seems to be moulded together - it's all one piece, so taking it apart means breaking it Thanks for the idea though

I don't think that is me, nor do I think any shop would fall for it.

Blu,
So you don't think its a lint/dirt issue?

[blutach]

It might be chewy, but only in the up direction? And how would I get it out of a sealed unit anyway? With an air-blower?
