Introdução

If the scroll wheel on your HP 280 Silent Wireless Mouse is not working properly, replacing it can restore functionality. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to disassemble the mouse, remove the old scroll wheel, and install a new one.

Note: If the mouse still does not work after replacing the scroll wheel, the issue may be related to the scroll encoder or a problem with the circuit board. In such cases, further diagnosis or professional repair may be necessary.

Before you begin the repair, make sure that the mouse is turned off.
