Introduction
If your Razer Viper Mini cable is damaged or not working properly, or you want to change the cable to a different one, use this guide to replace the mouse cable.
Regularly, a mouse that is connected to a computer or USB enabled device will work without issues. However, over time the mouse cable will go through wear and tear and will become damaged - resulting in a mouse constantly disconnecting or not connecting at all.
It’s important to mention that using a plastic spudger (like in Step 4) to open the device is essential as using metal devices can easily damage your mouse.
Before using this guide, make sure the mouse is unplugged from any device.
-
-
Use the Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the three 2 mm screws from the bottom of the mouse.
-
-
-
Use the plastic spudger to gently lift the backplate in order to access the internal components.
-
Insert the spudger into the bottom front of the mouse and slowly move it around the mouse which will release the backplate.
-
-
-
Use the plastic spudger once again to remove the shell of the mouse.
-
It is exactly like the previous step as you have to dig the plastic spudger gently into the bottom of the mouse and move it inwards to slowly release the shell.
-
You have now successfully removed the top shell of the mouse!
-
-
-
Use your small chain nose pilers to remove the molex power connection cable from the PCB.
-
Remove the PCB from the bottom plate.
-
-
-
Remove the old cable.
-
Route the cable through the previous route that the original cable was in, remembering to press down with your Phillips #0 screwdriver so the PCB can fit nicely on top.
-
-
-
Use the Phillips #0 screwdriver to place the three 2.5mm screws into the bottom plate.
-
Now, once all of the screws are in and the mouse is assembled once again, you are ready to plug it back into your desired USB port and start using the mouse again!
-
Remember to make sure all of the screws are tightly fitted and the molex cable is fitted tightly before you plug the mouse back into the USB source.
