Is an inactive Magic Mouse repairable?
Yesterday my Magic Mouse stopped working. I tried several new batteries and it still won't work. Can it be repaired?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Thats a good sign ;-}
Try using a pencil eraser to clean the corrosion and/or non conductive film that has built up on the contacts.
A cotton swab slightly moist with white vinegar can also clean up any crust from your alkaline batteries. Be sure to wipe down the area afterwards with some cotton swabs moistened with straight water (not to wet) to clean off the vinegar afterwards.

Ta Da! Fixed it with the pencil eraser. Once I read the suggestion I looked, and could clearly see crud on the lower left terminal. Scrub scrub scrub - got my mouse back. Would never have thought that it could get like that, but it did. Thanks.
Worked a treat!! Thx
It worked (toothpick) !!
Thanks
I had to clean the contacts several times with a cue tip and then an eraser ..three times with the eraser .. and then it finally worked. Don't give up !
Brilliant and correct. Fixed mine with the pencil eraser. It was cruddy.
I cleaned it with a cotton swab and vinegar then just water and dried it worked at the first try :D

Worked - incredible! Did try with water and cotton. But water, cotton and vinegar can you fix it! Just happy!
Changing from duracell batteries to energizer is the only difference in making the mouse I have work again.

If you use a nail file gently it should work. Make sure the contact point is smooth and cleaned off. I used the cotton swab at first with alcohol and it didn’t work.

I used 600 grit sandpaper and took my time. I had previously tried a pencil eraser (which is a known fix for cleaning the contacts of electronics) but it did t work this time.
Pencil eraser 3 times worked here as well.

I also discovered that I have some batteries with non-standard plus terminal heights. If the plus terminal heights are too short, they won’t work with the Magic Mouse.

When you turn it the mouse on does the green LED light up just above the on/off switch on the bottom.

There is no green light. I've tried 10 different sets of new batteries.
