#1 | | Mighty Mouse - not so mighty! My iMac mighty mouse is fantastic - except - the wheel no longer scrolls and there is NO WAY to clean it as the casing is sealed. Any suggestions? | |

#4 | | Worked with mine therefore it works in all other potential situations :P You sometimes have to roll it quite hard to dislodge the crap. |

#5 | | It's worth googling. People have had this problem since time immemorial. Or, well, since Apple released the Mighty Mouse. Other common solutions involve wet towels or even, for the fearless, sharp knives and sellotape. And sometimes the wretched things just seem to come right on their own! Just whatever you do, don't open it and think you'll be able to put it together again afterwards and have it work. Tried that, can't recommend it. |

#6 | | Sounds like a chance for the dishwasher to work it's magic. Or try soaking it in rubbing alcohol. (warning ideas maybe stupid and/or reckless. Attempt at your own will) | |
