My mighty mouse will not scroll down. Everything else works. Scrolling up, scrolling left and right, clicking, pushing the scroll button. I've tried unplugging, rebooting. any more ideas?

    Try kicking it against the wall, it's dirty. No actually, unplug it, hold it upside down and press in on the ball firmly with a lint free cloth and rub vigorously. That should do it! Did they ever get the design wrong with this thing



    A simple solution, would be to have a slight depression the same depth as the apple symbol on the mouse, right where the ball is, that could have a sensor embedded under it like the a track-pad that scrolls. Job done!

    I actually looked up some stuff about it and used some compressed air to clean it out. Horrible design flaw. I like the mouse. except for that.
