Sent mouse to Siberia 流放西伯利亞的滑鼠

My (sort of new) wireless mouse is acting up these couple days.
It has brand-new battery; so it is not hungry. The courser is at the right spot and the right click works fine. That tells me the optic detection is fine. Just the more frequently used left bottom ignore my request. Oh, yah. I reset the bottom on the blue tooth stick too.
Did a bit of research on the web. Some gigs post instruction on reconfigure the driver and other procedures way too complicated for me. So I give up and ask Kavlen for his advise. Even he told me the mouse is dead.

Before dumping the mouse, I recall the old trick I learned from my working days in electronic component industry. Since the circuit board is layered, the electronic connection might lost contact from heat generated on the surrounding board. It might be connected again by freeze it to create the contact again. I actually revived my old digital camera too.



So I send the injured mouse to Siberia, my freezer. Yes, it works again!
