Cannot Open Shell for Logitech M570 Trackball

Cannot Open Shell for Logitech M570 Trackball I have an old M570 Trackball Mouse that no longer works. I'm just getting into repair and I thought it would be good for practice. However I'm having a lot of trouble getting it open.

Peel up the label in the battery compartment to reveal screw number five.

"I used a small bended tweezers and I just pressed when I found the recess and by pressing and move around the closed tweezers I dug a perfect round hole in the label to show the screw.

Thanks for the tip!"

Don’t take the thing apart! Just take a pen or pencil or something like that stick it in the hole in the bottom of the mouse and lightly bang the end of the pencil on a table. The ball will pop right out of the socket. Clean it, put the ball back and your curser doesn’t stick anymore.

Thanks so much Paul! I was having trouble with my mouse sticking. Came across your post and it confirmed my thought there was that fifth screw under the label. I’ve been down this road before and “snapped” some things by forcing them apart. This time it worked out great. Cleaned the inside of the mouse and it works great. You lose Logitech I won’t have to run out and buy a new mouse anytime soon! Peg
