Magic Mouse: Replace with better laser bulb

Sat, 19 Jan 2019 19:03:38 -0700

This is a shot in the dark. I understand that Logitech has developed this new (2009 - jseus fck!) tracking tech that it calls “Darkfield”, so it can track on pretty much any surface, i.e. glossy or clear glass surfaces.

Anyone know if it would be possible to extract the tracking sensors in a logitech mouse and transpose it into a magic mouse?

I want my mouse to match my mac, but the magic mouse tracking sucks, even after the release of magic mouse 2.

Magic Trackpad: How can I put power button back in place?

Mon, 12 Nov 2018 05:42:23 -0700

The batteries inside my magic trackpad suddenly exploded and power button throwed out !

Batteries were duracell non chargable

Anyway, there are these wires that have been cut and hanging both from inside the battery tube and the button

I think if i can connect the wires it can work again

But it's unreachable by hand and too small, also wires are too short

What can i do?

Magic Mouse: Magic mouse looses connection when not moved

Sun, 04 Nov 2018 13:26:58 -0700

Since a few days the mouse is acting weird. When it is not moving the connection will disappear, when the mouse is being moved again it will connect again. Everytime you want to use the mouse it takes a few seconds before it is connected again. Even when you pause 2 secondes to decide where to click on it will loose its connection! This behavior is the same on different MacBooks and Imacs.

Service history & age unknown. Magic Mouse will stop working for no reason. Batteries are new & tested. Try shaking and tapping and that some times works. I have cleaned battery connection points. Problem is intermittent with no pattern.

Magic Trackpad: Magic Trackpad Not Tracking Correctly

Thu, 23 Aug 2018 04:54:31 -0700

I have a Magic Trackpad original. Recently it has stopped tracking accurately - if I move my finger around on the trackpad, the cursor responds intermittently. I have installed new batteries, which the iMac recognises as 100% charged.

Clicking works fine. Dragging and selecting suffer the same problems as tracking (i.e., the trackpad recognises multiple fingers, but the tracking errors persist).

Now the tricky bit. If I lightly touch the aluminium at the top of the trackpad, above the glass trackpad proper, with one finger then the trackpad begins to function properly and track accurately!

It's not the iMac causing the problem - I have connected the trackpad to two other devices (2012 15" MacBook Pro; 2015 13" MacBook Pro) and the symptoms persist. I have also connected a Logictech T651 to all three computers, which works just fine.

I think that it is something to do with earthing. I have rested a small ointment jar on the same place I touch - which is heavy enough to apply similar/greater pressure than I do with my finger - and that makes no difference.

Any clues?

Cheers

Magic Trackpad: battery acid damaged batt-compartment - how to restore?

Sat, 10 Jun 2017 05:37:40 -0700

Hi together,

I own a Apple Magic Trackpad, where the batteries ran out and damaged the battery compartment.

I removed the batteries and cleaned the battery compartment. Now, the batteries have a little bit axial play (2mm?), so I have to put some metal spacer in between. And the Trackpad is only working sporadically, I suggest a bad contact problem.

When I look into the battery compartment, I only see a elastic radial spacer and a (always corroding) center contact.

Does someone has any suggestion, how to resurrect the trackpad? Is there any part missing in the battery compartment? A spring maybe?

Magic Mouse: mouse connected but no pointer showing on iMac monitor

Tue, 04 Oct 2016 15:31:43 -0700

The batteries are in the correct way

The mouse is on

The iMac can discover the magic mouse

The 'on' indicator light does not stay on for long.

I can't see any laser when it is switched on and the indicator light shows that it is on and the iMac is saying its connected.

The magic mouse does not show a pointer on the iMac screen.

Any ideas?

Magic Mouse: Green light turns on, but optical sensor has no light. Need help.

Tue, 26 Jul 2016 10:19:52 -0700

Hi,

My mouse is (partially) not working where it couldn't move the cursor but connects via Bluetooth to my mac.

The green light on my Magic Mouse is turning on when you flick the ON/OFF toggle switch. I tried changing the batteries also but to no avail. The odd thing is all the other functions work fine like scrolling, left+right gestures, clicking and right-clicking!

The product has never been dropped or moved around too much either and no signs of physical damage externally. I checked the sensors for hairs or dirt but nothing.

Can anyone suggest anything else to try and fix it?

Magic Mouse: How to change rechargable batteries

Wed, 06 Jul 2016 12:06:04 -0700

I have used a magic mouse with the rechargeable battery pad for several years. The mouse works fine but the battery life has been dropping significantly. I have let it completely drain then completely charge and saw no improvement.

I saw somewhere that the battery compartment can be opened and inside are two standard size rechargeable batteries that can easily be replaced.

Is this true? Does anybody have experience with this? Where can I find a small hex shaped screw driver to open the compartment?

Magic Mouse 2: Why does my mouse stay on when the switch is off?

Fri, 13 Oct 2023 15:01:45 -0700

My Magic Mouse 2 will sometimes stay off even when I've switched it off. It will still move the cursor on my Mac and is obviously still connected to Bluetooth. It doesn't look like ifixit offers a replacement switch. I suppose I'll open it up and clean it, but any advice would be helpful.

Apple Mighty Mouse: Mouse doesn't turn on after a horrible battery leak.

Sat, 26 Aug 2023 05:05:22 -0700

I have a Mighty Mouse. It suffered from a battery leak when it was in the hands of somebody else. I took it and tried to connect it to my Mac, it kept disconnecting and showed the battery percentage of the mouse wrong. Recently I tried to connect it my iPad and it worked.. but I spoke too soon, and the mouse again stopped working after a week. I opened it and saw there was not much a battery acid damage out there. I tried cleaning the negative contact points but it didn't work. I would like my mouse to be working again.

I saw that one of the screws has been totally covered in acid.

Would this be possible?
