Sometimes the screen cursor >just sits there. Sometimes it moves a little bit. 1. Unplug the mouse and plug it back it in. 2. Clean off the mouse ball and the inside of the mouse (blow into it). 3. Pop the top and use an old toothbrush to scrub between the ADB micro controller pins. This is a little chip between the ROMs and the memory slot that has really close together pins coming out of it on all four sides. At some point in these instructions, your mouse should go back to normal. If not, you are probably stuck with taking it in to have it checked out. Todd Whitesel toddpw @ tybalt.caltech.edu
