How do you remove the cover on the original Intellimouse Explorer--the dark grey and red one with the thumb buttons. The wire is frayed(sp?) and I want to try and fix it so I can use it for this laptop...People have also removed it for painting.
I painted mine black, and disassembly was a bit tricky, so take your time. There are screws under the feet. Be careful with the feet, so that they have enough glue to stick back when you are finished. I lifted mine up with an Exact-o knife. After that, it snaps apart. You'll get it if you are careful.
