Milk-like drink spilled on mouse, wheel not scrolling properly- fix guide?(G303)

Snir · May 2, 2017

Hi,
as title says, can you guys help my little brother with his mouse problem? Not scrolling properly(scrolling works only if i scroll repeatedly and only for once) but clicking is working.
maybe disassembling it will do, do you have a good guide for us?
Thank you.

IMO try some contact cleaner(like wd-40 specialist series) first before opening the mouse. Spray the scroll wheel enough on the sides and where there is a gap and then scroll up and down so the cleaner will reach the dirt, maybe it will work.

Was this drink sticky by chance?

He blasted his sticky milk all over the mouse and forgot to clean up ;(

But as kackbratze posted, watch that video, disassemble, and clean the problem area.

The pure fact he said "milk-like drink" w/o going into any further detail is suspect af.

If actually milk: just scroll it a lot, it'll "clean" itself

If something salty or sugary: disassemble ASAP or that wheel is gonna be DEAD.

I would suggest just putting "logitech g303 disassembly" into a searchengine.

OP has 1 post.

Maybe it was a shake?

Regardless, disassemble and flush with isopropyl alchool.

Regardless of the great "milk" jokes: milk has sugar too, so I don't think that would clean itself, right? Unless lactose has different corrosive effects than fructose or sucrose.

not sure if serious...
g303 uses an optical encoder. just disassemble, wash with water carefully, and dry. dont get water in the switches or sensor

judging by op's writing I believe the mouse WILL end up badly put together , and the mouse feet will be ruined, I would just buy a new mouse, maybe another g303 since they are cheap, and try not to eat on the computer, electronics dont like food.
