)ДЄnyway, if anyone knows about this in detail, whether itвЂ™s really hard firmware, or softer firmware, or firm seeming software or whatever, chime in and tell us about it.ДЇunny, this is exactly what IвЂ™ve been working on for the last few weeks.

( * I say half ergo, because itвЂ™s not quite as extreme/annoying as those full ergo ones. ItвЂ™s an older type, uses PS/2 connectors. ItвЂ™s been languishing in storage, but recently I had an identical dongle turn up in a box of wires that came in from somewhere else.

IвЂ™m slightly more than academically interested, because I had a MS half-ergo* desktop for a desktop machine, where the dongle seemed to fry. Does maybe the dongle pick the number/code when first initialised by driver, does maybe the keyboard have some super low power capacitor backed nvRAM to remember it? So one wonders if leaving the batteries out for long enough would clear the keyboard and/or mouse. However it would also seem to add an extra expense in manufacturing, so one wonders if there was is there is a softer way of doing it going on. I get why this is desirable behaviour if you want to sell offices full of them, donвЂ™t need crosspairing going on if 3 sets of batteries are dead the same morning. Posted in Repair Hacks Tagged reflow, repair, smd soldering, soldering, USB dongle Post navigation You can see the work performed on this tiny dongle after the break. Just because some electronics seem dauntingly elaborate or beyond salvaging, it doesnвЂ™t always mean there isnвЂ™t light at the end of the tunnel. It might not seem extraordinary to some people, but this video is a good example to show that repairs to delicate electronics in such a small scale are feasible, and can serve to reduce the amount of electronic waste we constantly dump out. Once the dongle was confirmed working, a new 3D shell was printed for it, replacing the original which had to be broken off. Then, with an inspection of the severed traces and lifted components, it was simply a matter of reflowing solder a few times to try to make the board whole again.

After sliding out the metal casing for the USB plug and snapping off the plastic housing, discovered that the slightly bent exterior hid a deeply cracked PCB. The wireless adapter in question, which came from one of his clients who accidentally bent it while it was plugged into a laptop, refused to be recognized by a computer under any circumstances. Vertical scrolling (rolling) is great now.Faced with a broken USB dongle for our wireless devices, most of us would likely bin the part and order a replacement, after all the diminutive size of those things probably means hard to impossible repairability, right? Well, took it as a challenge and used the opportunity to practice his microscopic soldering skills just for funsies. The resistance is unchanged, but there's that much less surface to push against horizontally. The only drawback is with the slightly reduced height, it's very minimally more difficult to scroll horizontally (tilt scroll).

And without the extra padding, my index finger now rests 1 or 2 mm lower, which I find a little more comfortable. The scroll wheel is now PERFECTLY smooth - better than it ever was or than ANY other mouse I ever tried. Actually, the rubbery plastic coating on the wheel was shredding and rubbing against the outer casing, so I pried up a section of the coating with a small screwdriver, cut through its width with cuticle scissors, and peeled/rolled it off the wheel completely. After several years, my MLM 5000 scroll wheel became very difficult to turn thought I'd have to disassemble and clean it.

Very thorough, thanks, but would like to offer a simple alternative that may apply.
