Anyone know how to take the A3000 mouse apart? Let me rephrase that. Does anyone know how to remove the top cover from the A3000 mouse such that it can be reinstalled to the condition previous to dissassembly? Thanks James via AutoPilot With Motorola Inside and Intel Outside

James, I've had an Amiga for the last 7 years (A1200 now, but started with A500) and in that time I've been through 2 C= mice a Golden Image optical mouse and a Naksha micro switched mouse. Interestingly the Naksha cost the most and lasted no longer than the others! Buy a new one, they're cheap $15-$20 and throw the other one away! BTW, with EVERY mouse I tried to repair it myself (i know a bit about electronics) but decided that the amount of time I'd have to spend checking for dry solder joints of bad connections/broken cables it'd be cheaper to buy a new one 😉 Kevin Flying AutoPilot from Surry in the UK

Interesting, and to think that I was still using the same mouse, with no problems, that came with my 2000 in 1987 until I replaced it with a trackball about 3 months ago (mouse still works, just prefer trackball). 🙂 //daniel on autopilot in paradise \X/ powered by intel and motorola

Daniel, Perhaps the A2000 has a different mouse, or you use it less or maybe the stateside mice are different from European (I thought they all came from the same plant in the philapeans), as you say, Interesting! Kevin Flying AutoPilot from Surry in the UK
