oops. fried mouse.

Ok, now I did it.  In my mad quest to add an ADB power LED to my mouse, I 
think I fried it.  I attached the LED to many different points on the 
board, but most of them would end up shorting something out, and freezing 
up the entire ADB chain (keyboard and mouse).  I finally found one that 
worked (One connection on the incoming red wire, and the other connection 
on one of the vertical wheel sensors (the transparent one, LD4, left 
terminal)).  It worked fine for awhile, but the the vertical mouse 
movement began to get jerky.  I figured the connection was shorting 
something out again, and removed it.  Bad news... the vertical movement 
was still jerky... and kept getting worse.  Now, I have no vertical 
movement at all.  The mouse arrow only vibrates about 1 pixel when I try 
to move it.  (Horizontal is fine)  Soooo, Is there something I can do?  
Can I replace the parts?  Exactly which parts need replaced?  Do I have 
to get new mouse guts?  Can anybody tell me if there are even ANY safe 
terminals to solder the LED onto?  It worked on some of the chip 
terminals without messing up anything, but god knows what I'm doing to 
the poor chip.  uhhh, anybody got a standard GS mouse layin around?
heh heh :)
