Use this guide to repair a first-generation Magic Mouse with replaceable batteries when the cursor and left click still work, but right click, scrolling, and touch gestures don't. A fall can loosen the touch-surface ribbon connector or leave its latch partly open. This guide shows how to open the mouse, reseat the connector, renew the adhesive, and test the repair.
