The scroll wheel on my mouse has stopped working.
You wouldnt believe how many times a day you use it.

Google "mouse scroll not working", you never know, one of the suggestions might lead to a possible fix?

I had to fix mine a couple of weeks back.
Whether yours is a rotary switch like mine or an optical one it can usually be sorted by opening the mouse up, cleaning all the accumulated crap out and, if it's a rotary switch, squirting a bit of contact cleaner into it.

Same thing happened to me last week at work.  Took me 4 new mice to find one I liked, it's amazing how annoying a different mouse is when you've been used to the same one for years haha

Your catching them in a trap, that's what causes the problem, because it breaks them. Catch them in a cage, that way they stay fully functional  :lol :lol :lol

That'll be OK as long as there's an answer in the first 5 items.  He won't be able to see past those  :rollin
