To take the back off your Apple mouse, you can follow these steps:
1. Hold the mouse upside down to have a clear view of the bottom panel. You should see a small black rectangle towards the bottom of the mouse, near where the green light is located.
2. Use your finger or thumb nail to flick the small black rectangle in a downwards direction, away from the green light. Apply a bit of pressure, but be careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the mouse.
3. By flicking the black rectangle downwards, you will loosen the cover of the mouse. You should feel it move slightly. If it doesn’t move, try flicking it a few more times until you feel some give.
4. Once the cover is loosened, you can proceed to pull it away from the base of the mouse. Start by inserting your fingernail or a small tool, like a guitar pick or a small flathead screwdriver, into the gap between the cover and the base.
5. Gently pry the cover away from the base, working your way around the edges. Take your time and be cautious not to apply too much force, as you don’t want to break any of the delicate components inside.
6. As you continue to pry the cover off, you may encounter some resistance. This is normal, as there might be small clips or tabs holding the cover in place. Just be patient and keep working your way around until the cover is completely detached.
7. Once the cover is removed, you will have access to the internal components of the mouse. Be mindful of any cables or connectors that may be attached, and avoid pulling on them forcefully.
8. If you need to clean or repair any specific parts of the mouse, now is the time to do so. Just remember to handle everything with care and avoid causing any damage.
9. When you’re finished with your task, simply align the cover back onto the base of the mouse. Press it firmly to ensure it snaps back into place and is securely attached.
10. flip the mouse back over, and you’re good to go! Your Apple mouse is now ready to be used again.
Remember, if you’re unsure or uncomfortable with taking apart your Apple mouse, it’s always a good idea to seek professional assistance or contact Apple support for guidance.
