Introduction
This guide will help assist replacing the scroll wheel in you Logitech G700s.
Tools
Parts
-
-
Remove the batteries from the mouse.
-
Use a plastic opening tool to peel up the four mouse feet.
-
-
-
Pull the top of the mouse off of the bottom half.
-
Unplug the programmable buttons from the motherboard.
-
-
-
Remove the black pin that holds the scroll wheel to the motherboard.
-
The protrusion on the bottom side of the pin clicks into the dimple on the base.
-
I find the easiest way to remove the pin is to use the pointy end of the spudger to push on this end of the pin.
-
-
-
First, lift the assembly from the back (green arrow), while keeping the front clear plastic part resting on the springs (red circle).
-
Then, while pulling it toward the back very slightly, carefully lift the front part off the springs.
-
The clear front part has a hole that attaches onto a clear nibble just below the bracket (blue arrow in second picture) for the scrollwheel to pivot left and right for the left and right scroll function.
-
Though the pivot point isn't attached too deeply. When reassembling, align the circular marks in the front to the springs, then press the back side down into the holder and it will self align.
-
Remove the springs and keep them safe.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
One comment
Very good guide! The replacement scroll wheel I got on eBay did not have the black plastic part that sits on top, so I had to remove it from the original one. I did that by pulling the clear plastic part away slightly and removing it (do one side first and then the other side).
