Hmmmm... Depends on your exact problem. If it is the cable you will have to
open up the mouse, unsolder it from the contacts and solder a new ( or 
shortened ) cable back. If it is the switches you may be able to fix it by
putting a small piece of cardboard over the broken switch. I don't think
cleaning will help but you never know ( and it can't hurt, unless murpy's law
makes an appearance ). When (if) you open it check the contact area where the
button touches the ( Anyone willing to sell me a dictionary? ) contact area.
If the contact area is damaged you might try inserting a piece of cardboard
in order to make contact.

Gawd, having english as my second language really sucks late at night!!!

Hope these ramblings are understood,  Jorgen
