that the retainer 1 and ball 2 drop
out.
5. Wash the ball in warm, soapy water;
then dry it with a clean cloth. Blow
carefully into the ball-cage
4
to
dislodge dust and lint.
6. Look for a build-up of dirt on the
plastic rollers

inside the ball-cage.
This build-up usually appears as a
stripe running around the middle of the
rollers.
7. If dirty, clean the rollers by using a
cotton swab soaked in isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol. Turn the rollers
with your finger and repeat the process
until all deposits are removed. After
cleaning, make sure the rollers are still
centered in their channels.
8. Make sure that fluff from the swab is
not left on the rollers.
9. Replace the ball and retainer ring.
Lock the retainer in place by turning it
in the opposite direction of the arrows.
10. Connect the mouse cable to the
computer. Turn your computer back
on.
