  • Remove the two 0.4 mm #1 Phillips screws underneath the top two skates and the third 0.4mm #1 Phillips screw under the sticker on the mouse.
  • For better access to the screw, you can remove the sticker itself.

It’s difficult to replace the part when the PCB board is still screwed in. When I would disassemble it, I would unscrew the side buttons first then the motherboard (the screws are highlighted in white circles). From there try to remove the broken part at ease (Lift the motherboard and the side button motherboard from the housing). DO NOT try to pry it on step 4. You might broke something for that.

There’s also phone repair toolkits that sells it on a cheaper price I would only use #00 Philips Screwdriver only and a spudger or a flathead screw to put the cables back in place when I disassembled it

On Step 1: You don’t need to remove the skates if you want to rescrew it later. you can unscrew it the screws both sides and cover it later then move to the bottom hole (Don’t forget to put some kind of tape on it). The screws are small and they’re easy to lose them if not careful.

Can one get a replacement wheel somewhere? Does that fix scrolling problems, I’d have thought it was a sensor issue??
