Another place for screws, in general, is inside battery compartments, so
it's always possible (but I suspect unlikely) for a screw to be in the
compartment where the mouse ball is. It's accessible since there is
usually a "door" that can be removed so you can get the ball out to
clean.
This is the thing I don't understand here. If the original poster is
just wanting to clean the mouse, why not just pop the ball out, clean
the rollers through the hole the ball was in, clean the ball and put it
back in? No need to open the shell of the mouse at all unless the
cleaning involves a retrobrite bath for the shell to deal with yellowing
but I don't think that is the case.
It is, but I'm not using chemicals. I just want to scrub the hand grime off
of the top half of the shell without getting the internals wet.
