[comp.sys.atari.st] Dying ST mouse

willi@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu (Gary A Williams) (04/07/89)

Due to overzealous Arkanoid playing by a few friends, the left mouse button
on my ST is becoming increasingly difficult to engage.  If I press it very
hard a few times, I do get a response.  What options do I have for fixing the
little bugger without paying Atari $50 for a new one.  It would be a shame to
have to trash the whole mouse as everything else works fine.  Help!!!

Please send responses to cmm1@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu as I am only posting this
message for a friend.  His name is Chris.  Thank you.

All you need to do is to replace the mouse switch.  Best Electronics
sells them for $1.50 each.  They are quite easy to put in.  Just
desolder the old one and solder in the new one.
