Introdução

In this guide we will show you how to safely replace the Motherboard within the mouse.

The motherboard is the main component of any electronic device. Usually, if there is a problem with the motherboard, you should take it to a professional first, unless you know what you are doing. The motherboard tells all other components what to do.

Common disconnections/causes

  • Dropping the mouse
  • Wear and tear
  • Connection issues

In this guide, we will help you take the motherboard off and get to the component you need to get to.
