Introduction

This simple guide will show you how to change the cable in a Rapoo N1600 mouse. This guide does require disassembling, so try not to lose any parts! One thing to note in Step 2 is that the screw may be difficult to remove, so there's a chance you might have to pry it open. Don't worry; you won't need to screw it back since the mouse runs smoothly without the screw.

    • Place your index finger under the motherboard and lift your index finger so the motherboard pops up.

    • Ensure the bottom of the motherboard is held flat in your hand so the pieces don't fall out.

    • Remove the old mouse cable.

    • Place the matching cross from the new mouse cable on the cross outline.

    • Keep the cable away from the scroll wheel area. Make sure the cable stays to the side.

    • Make sure the mouse sensor stays in place. If it falls out, set it back in place.

    • Match the middle part of the mouse with the bottom and slide it from top to bottom.

    • Once the middle part is attached, add the top shell of the mouse. Follow the pattern of the holes as they will help you.
