A friend of mine just gave his mouse a static shock treatment.  His
right mouse button will not work anymore.  Can anyone offer some
suggestions on how to fix his amiga 1000?

Some technical details might help out so here goes.  The mouse it self seems
to be ok.  Its got to be the POT0Y line that got frazzled.  This line
goes through a resistor and shares a capacitor before going into Paula
as pin #33.  A quick test of the POT0DAT register (address DFF012) indicates
that the up or down of the button is sensed, but holding down the button
does not change the register as it should.

All other functions seem to be ok.

Could Paula have been damaged?  If it is the capacitor, how can it be checked?
Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
