Apple Mighty Mouse: Mouse doesn't turn on after a horrible battery leak.

Sat, 26 Aug 2023 05:05:22 -0700

I have a Mighty Mouse. It suffered from a battery leak when it was in the hands of somebody else. I took it and tried to connect it to my Mac, it kept disconnecting and showed the battery percentage of the mouse wrong. Recently I tried to connect it my iPad and it worked.. but I spoke too soon, and the mouse again stopped working after a week. I opened it and saw there was not much a battery acid damage out there. I tried cleaning the negative contact points but it didn't work. I would like my mouse to be working again.

I saw that one of the screws has been totally covered in acid.

Apple Mighty Mouse: Fixing a MAC USB mouse

Has anyone fixed such a device. I find the magic mouse doesn’t always work reliably. I have an old USB mouse which clearly has a cable problem. Is there a way to disassemble it and reconnect for full function?

Apple Mighty Mouse: Fixing the major keys?

Thu, 14 Mar 2019 04:34:13 -0700

Recenty I bought a Bluetooth MightyMouse from eBay - but, as it turned out, its functionality is only 50%.

What does not work:

the left (primary) key
the right (secondary) key
the middle key

What does work:

the mouse pointer resp. the laser electronics
the scrollball
the two keys on the side

Now it would be shame to throw the mouse away.

BTW: The innards of a BT Mighty Mouse are imho quite different from those of a USB cable Mighty Mouse.

Is there any way to fix it?

Thank you!
