How to Restore the Magnetic Functionality of the Microsoft Surface Mobile Mouse
소개
The Microsoft Surface Mobile Mouse has a magnetic battery cover that conceals the battery compartment. I noticed that the magnetic strength of the cover deteriorates over time, especially after a fall from a table height. If the mouse takes a hard fall, the magnets inside the mouse get misaligned, and eventually causes the battery cover to not stay in place. The purpose of the repair is to show people how to restore the functionality of the magnetic battery cover.
Using a plastic spudger, make your way to the back of the mouse. There are two hidden tabs that you can push outwards, and you can feel them once your spudger is in the center of the mouse. Apply pressure outwards on the hidden tabs in order to remove the top plate.
Notice how the top plate is separated from the mouse once successfully removed.
Place a magnet with the marked pole facing up into each of the 6 slots.
Use the battery cover to your advantage by placing it into the battery compartment. That way, the magnets stay in place when they are placed in their slots.
