Check under the label for an additional screw.


Is there one? I'd rather not peel up the label in vain.

There'll always be some doubt, but running your finger over the label will often indicate an indentation to mark the place for the screw.

The doubt comes because you don't feel that indent, and yet you can't
get the unit apart, leaving you wondering if there is still a screw
under the label.

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.
