Once screws are removed, the top comes off, but be careful not to pull too hard because of the attached wires.

OKay. Thank you for this information.

Tool is being used to pry the battery contact away from the black plastic tab. (please excuse the rough looking tool i used). Once the contact is pried away then take a pair of needle nose pliers and pull the battery contact straight up. You may have to wiggle the pliers some as you pull up.

Oh, bless. You enabled me to revive my M305! Its mouse wheel had ceased to scroll reliably. Following your instructions, I was able to clean out all the accumulated dust and hair and lint that was getting in the way, and now it works like new.
I would add just one more step: There is a screw towards the front of the mouse which holds the wheel down. Remove that, lift out the entire wheel unit, and then you can get at any built-up yuck that was trapped between the wheel and the board.
Ok thank you. I will look into that.

I am so glad that this project helped you so much. I will add that next step and thank you for telling me about it. I am planning on adding more in the future. If there is something that you would like to see on here, just comment here and I will see if I can do it or have the item here.
Thanks again.
I've found the answer! How to separate out the on-off switch:
The circuit board is fixed to the base/bottom of the mouse by one silver screw in the center--you can see the screw clearly in the last photo Darren posted. Remove that screw, and lift out the circuit board. Since the on-off switch is just sandwiched between the circuit board and the mouse's base, it will fall out freely as you do this.

one additional thing that's nifty is to get rid of the spin wheel "click." to do this, once it's guts are exposed, take off the wheel mount, remove the wheel from the mount, and stick a small flat head screw driver in the open side to pry out the spinning part. a small ball bearing will fall out - that's what creates the friction and the "click" when you spin the wheel. now put everything back together and presto! smooth wheeling!
But but but I *like* the click! 0.0 Seriously, though, it's really cool that even *that* is user-serviceable. It's amazing how accessible this piece of equipment is.
(I wandered back here today because the left button had gotten suddenly unreliable, and I needed to remind myself how to take the mouse apart. Once again, cleaned out the dust and everything was fine. Must remember not to leave mouse in the same room where sawdust is flying...)
While I'm commenting: Darren (or anyone), do you have any tips on separating out the on-off switch? The raised "crossbar" texture has gotten so worn down that I can no longer switch mouse on or off with a fingertip; I have to dig a fingernail in there, or the tip of a tool. I'd like to give that switch a couple coats of nail lacquer or polycrylic or similar, to build the texture up so that the switch is fingertip-operable again. But I don't want to try it while the switch is in its little oval recess and risk gumming up the works.
...I really hope that made sense.

Thanks for the guide!
I had a problem with my left mouse button clicking. I ended up having to open up the teal click box and adjust the shape of the metal that makes the contact. Over time the shape took away the click's proper action. A little metal bending and it's clicking like new.
Also, to make working on the board easier, you can remove the connection from the battery to the logic board. That way you can get a good look at the guts of it.
Thank you very much for your suggestion.

How do you separate the left right buttons from the main mouse body. Im starting to think it is in the manufacturing process that just makes it impossible with breaking the parts to get there. Nobody has shown how to do this on Youtube or anywhere else. Got any ideas.
There seems to be a locking tab on each button. I have tried to remove them gently, but for fear of destroying the buttons, i have not went any further. If you or anyone see how it can be done please share this with us.
Thank you.

Useful. My left mouse button works reliably again. Thanks.
You are very welcome. I am blessed that it has helped you and others.

Just did the middle wheel click remove. WOW. Pulled this guy outta the closet of a friend’s place. Seems the cause of illness is a failed left click button. The Logitech forums have enough postings to tell you it is/was common. I took it apart and you can just tell it’s slightly worn more and the click box area or whatever is not giving the resistance back to raise the tiny moving part. Half of all M305 users could benefit from this.
I’m a lefty so i will enjoy the one good button and insanely smooth, quiet wheel until I give it a 2 sided button death that shall forever ban this little guy. He’ll give a full life of servitude to the right AND left hands of his admirers.
Take that, Logitech!
Awesome, I am glad you were able to use the mouse.

Could you please add how to change the spring which connects the battery? Mine working because it can't draw power from the battery due to a rusty spring. Also, where can I get a spring from to fix it? Any ideas and assistance welcome. :)
Sandra M, I hope the three images I added and the description with those images are a help to you. However if you need more assistance, feel free to contact me here. Concerning the battery contacts, you may be able to clean them once you have removed them from the plastic battery contact holder. Maybe some sandpaper (but not rough) or even steel wool, i have used 0000 steel wool and it works great. I have looked on EBay and Amazon and I do not see any battery contacts. If you have or know of an electronic part store near you or just online you could contact them. I am looking forward to hearing how the repair went.
