How to fix optical PCBs for Happs Trackball
(1/1)
fredster:
Does anyone know how to actually fix the optical pcb's?
Where to get the special optical transistors and parts to fix a happs cheap?
Not a mouse hack, but actually fix one that's fried?
JODY:
Happs sells parts. Bob Roberts has them too.
fredster:
I know you can by the entire optical PCB, but I was talking about just the optical transistor.
I can't find the source for those.
See, the optical PCB's cost about $12 ea. I think those transistors cost about $0.50
Anybody ever Fix the optical pcb and have tips?
Popcorrin:
You can make one fairly easy. Check out Oscar's website, or maybe it was ultimarc, I know one of them has a tutorial on how to make one.
fredster:
It depends on the optics of the trackball to work.
Mostly people just replace them when the go bad, but man, it has to be easy to fix it.
I coudn't find a schematic parts list for the board.
