Troubleshooting a PC Mouse
The humble and simple PC mouse revolutionized computer use. This remarkable device is simple and easily serviced by the user, whether in a maintenance situation or when trouble arises. Except for the newer wireless and optical computer mice, a computer mouse is also very cheaply replaced. A decent mouse can be had for under $10 in many areas. Like your keyboard, it's one of those components you can spend very little for but use constantly and one where most of the damage comes from our abuse.
