Introduction

This guide will show you how to replace a broken or malfunctioning connection strip. Before attempting the process in this guide, be sure to check that your mouse's drivers are up to date, the mouse's buttons are already connected properly and there are no other issues.

There will also be instructions on how to remove and replace a "swollen" or otherwise damaged battery, as the battery will be removed in order to reach the connection strip.

Exercise caution while following the procedure to avoid damaging other components. Additionally, be sure to handle the battery carefully, as a swollen battery is subject to combustion if punctured or subjected to extreme temperatures or other conditions.

  1. KHZl4VUPHKyBdeJp

    • Using a spudger, remove the teflon tape on the bottom of the mouse to reveal four screws.

  2. wdsw1WWWD4AUrRm6

    • Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the four screws.

  3. Z5rMm26lg5EjMi1l

    • Gently pull on the top plastic plate of the device and carefully unplug the white cord from the circuit board.

    • When removing the chassis, carefully unplug the cord connecting to the top mouse buttons.

  4. FIKQJOMLoYZSvTNM

    • Gently pull up on the right plate on the mouse; separating it.

    • Carefully repeat this step for the left side.

    • Be wary of the cable connecting to the twelve mouse buttons located on the left plate. This can be disconnected if needed.

    Reposting from below: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0767K... - for this battery you’ll need to switch the battery leads to match the polarity.

    Also, you should remove the tape, or provide your own for the replacement battery.

    • Plug the cord of the new battery into the socket found in the bottom right of the circuit board.

    • Insert the new battery into the battery socket.

    • Place the foam on the surface of the new battery (reference Step 5).

    • Under the battery, remove the two screws holding the battery mount in place, then remove the battery mount.

  9. WIOUa6tnWyctAPQm

    • You should now be able to access both ends of the connector strip. One connection point is on the plastic plate that has the buttons. The second is beneath where the battery mount was.

    • Gently pull the white connection strip out of both connection ports.

  11. JweNTVBpGrAsjBjC

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Test your mouse to ensure the connection strip is set up correctly; if not, go back and make sure that all of the wires were re-connected successfully.
