Therefore, if a mouse + fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a + ball replacement. Because of the delicate nature of this + procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by + properly trained personnel. + + Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining + the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and + harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ + depending upon manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be + replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced + using the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually static + sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden + discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be + used immediately. + + It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls + for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer + missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing + these necessary items. + + To re-order, specify one of the following: + + P/N 33f8462 - Domestic Mouse Balls + P/N 33f8461 - Foreign Mouse Balls + +X-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-X + + Another file downloaded from: NIRVANAnet(tm) + + & the Temple of the Screaming Electron Jeff Hunter 510-935-5845 + Rat Head Ratsnatcher 510-524-3649 + Burn This Flag Zardoz 408-363-9766 + realitycheck Poindexter Fortran 415-567-7043 + Lies Unlimited Mick Freen 415-583-4102 + + Specializing in conversations, obscure information, high explosives, + arcane knowledge, political extremism, diversive sexuality, + insane speculation, and wild rumours.
