In reply to Anthony.

Thanks, Anthony. I sincerely hope my effort can encourage more people to try fixing products that have conditions to be maintained. In relation to the quality of the photos, I've used a Sony DSC-H2 camera, that has the useful function Macro, which allows photos to be taken from very small distances (such as 3 to 8 cm), even so keeping good focus. I strongly recommend all to use this resource. Despite the practicality of the cameras embedded in smarphones, they are inefficient at very small distances, as in the case of maintenance reports.

Thought provoking article, because generally people do not think what damage we cause to our nature by just throwing away an equipment because it is cheap instead of repairing and using it.

Great job Henrique ! You may have spent some time repairing a device that could be easily thrown away...but there is no greater reward than the satisfaction of learning from a repair and as you pointed out saving the planet from this kind of waste ! Thank you for sharing because these are the stories that inspire others to try to repair devices which they may also be tempted to just throw away and if that saves more of these from landfill....then you have certainly done your bit for the planet ! Great photos by the way !

Kind Regards

I have had a similar problem with my mouse double clicking and it was microswitch - clean with alcohol fixed problem - I am same as yourself i never throw electrical items out i try to fix them all and have saved £1000's from my cars using obdii to diagnose , plasma tv , washing machine , cooker , oven and more...I am glad my father taught me electronics , plumbing , woodwork etc

Good work I have learned a litle about the rotating contact device I didnt know it could be opened and fixed - thank you Henrique it is a good day when you learn something new as nobody knows everything - NOT EVEN JUSTINE YONG...Lol

About this I like to add the fact that they sell little mouses and parts that are on the outside rubberised to give them a better touch and feel. Those parts become very sticky after some years and are not usable anymore because of this. Today you can even buy spray cans and to rubberise things yourself but I think it is a good thing not to rubberise anything for the reason just mentioned. Don't know about the oil they use but normally Rubber is best used as little 'feet' that keep things from falling from tables. To prevent them from moving and breaking. Or like little Bumpers one uses on Doorstops etc.
