My mouse went from scrolling just fine to nothing overnight. This helped a lot, but sadly its still not 100%. :(

Worked like a charm. Thanks. I really like this mouse and didn't want to have to get used to another one.

Fantastic!!! I've been really reluctant to replace my MX510 mouse -- your teardown of this one (which the internals appear to be identical anyway) was perfect!

My mouse is running like brand new again!
