The Mouse Repair

The mouse that I use for work was on the blink. It developed a clack-clack-clack on the left button, and this sound (and feel) was most disturbing. At first I thought that it was time to go mouse shopping, but I really like this particular mouse.

Today, the mouse was behaving in the same manner. So I poked and prodded, cleaned it, tried everything.

Still the same clack-clack-clack noise.

I resorted to the final straw. I disconnected the mouse and whacked it on my carpeted floor a few times.

Mouse is now fixed.

Not the most technical way of handling things, but it seems to have worked.

My dad used to fix our television like that "back in the old days." He'd bang on it several times and presto...it went back to working properly again for a while. He'd always repeat the process when it started acting up again.
