Step 1

Use a spudger or opening tool to remove the top skates from the mouse.
Poke a hole in the middle of the bar code to expose the 3 screws holding the mouse together.

Step 2

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the three 9 mm screws that are holding the mouse together.

Step 3

Open the mouse, and use the Phillips #1 screwdriver remove the two 11 mm screws that are located on the left side of the motherboard.
Also, remove the single 4 mm screw next to the mouse wheel using the Phillips #1 screwdriver.
After you remove all three screws the motherboard should be free.

Using your soldering iron and desoldering pump, desolder the 3 contact points that attach to each button as marked.
Be careful when using a soldering iron, as it can burn you if not used correctly.
