How come my mouse only works in the vertical(or horizontal) direction, how do I repair it?

	how do I repair it?


	Check the rotation of the PAD. Turn it 90 degrees and see if it
	works any better. The mouse will only work properly
	if the mouse pad is oriented properly. Make sure that the long 
	side of the pad along the horizontal and the short side
	the vertical.

	Also, check to make sure that you have the right mouse pad. The
	newer the mouse the smaller the pad. 

	Finally, if that does not work one of the LEDs on the under
 	side of the mouse has probably "burnt" out.  Do not fooled
	by the fact that one of them is an infrared led (light that 
	is invisable to naked eye) and the other visible. 

	You can probably repair it yourself(if you can get a replacement 
	LED and you know how to use a Soldering Iron) by following
	a set of directions available from

	Note: This discussion only applys to Type 4 optical mice and not
	      the newer Type 5 mice.
