Mouse Mod - Reassembly


First slide the bottom LED into the LED housing. Bend the LED and housing forward onto the PCB seating it into the holes. Then bend the second LED so it lays on top of the LED housing.



Next you can add more hot glue to the back of the housing to secure the junction of the two leads. You don't want glue behind the LED housing as it gets in the way of the cover. If it starts to ooze, wet your finger and push it back into the housing.



Now you need to put the PCB back into the bottom half of the mouse case. This can be a pain as the tabs and plastic posts need to be lined up just right.



Also note that the blue tabs sit on top of the LED housing. If you didn't use the housing, drop more hot glue here to help hold the PCB down. (Use the housing!)



Next you need to put the wheel back on. Line it up with it's spring and slide it on it's post. Then wrap the mouse cord through it's tunnel.



Put the top half of the cover back on. Remember it needs to hinge... put the end near the cord on first. Lastly, put the bottom screw back on.


Done!!!

Personal

Empire had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a bunch of Muppets.
