The mouse that I have is Logitech g102. This guide is not just for this particular mouse but you can use this guide to repair any of your mouse.

One of the main problem with this mouse is its micro switches. They malfunction within 6 months from purchase. Even tough they are from omron

The problem I had was that left click was malfunctioning. A single click would register as a double click. And the scroll wheel was really choppy and sometime would not work.


So the first thing you need to do is to open the mouse. In my case there were some stickers above the screw holes and if I break the seal the warranty will be void.

 

So to keep the warranty intact you need to use something like a needle to carefully remove the seal from above the screw hole and then remove the screws .

After removing the screw disassemble the mouse and remove the main board away from the mouse place the main board on a tissue paper.



We will use a WD 40 solution to fix this mouse. Wd40 is a multipurpose product used to protect metal from rust and corrosion it also acts as a lubricant. So, if there is any corrosion or moisture inside your mouse switch or potentiometer you can use the solution to fix it.

Now spray wd40 solution on the affected parts in my case it is the left switch as well as the scroll wheel. After spraying press the button multiple time and scroll the scroll wheel so that the solution reaches every component inside the switch and potentiometer 

 

Doing this will fix your mouse switch as well as your potentiometer.

So that's it for this blog. I hope this fixes your mouse.

Creating first IoT project using ESP32-Node MCU

There has been a lot of development in the field of ioT and smart homes. We live in a era where most of our devices are connected to the internet. Raspberry Pi was launched in 2012 and with it there was a rise in several IoT Smart home applications. But the problem was that raspberry pi was a bit costly. Here in India it was available for around 3000 to 4000 rupees. We had Arduino uno before but it lacked Wi-Fi and adding external wifi module was a headache. But in 2015 a new device surfaced in the market with built in wifi. It was the node mcu. It was not as powerful as raspberry pi and it didn’t even run linux os but it was powerful enough to compute and control other devices. It was the perfect cheap alternative to develop iot projects. Later ESP32 was developed with more features and processing power. That’s enough history now let me explain how I managed to develop a smart home project. The goal : We should be able to control the lights using wifi. The Idea : ESP32 / Node...

  Aim : To understand buffer overflow and exploit a c code Things you will need : VM software(Virtual Box / VM Ware) Kali linux 32 bit Procedure : Let me break the procedure for your better understanding (Watch video linked to this tutorial for better understanding): 1.        Write / Copy C program 2.        Compile the program 3.        Execute the program 4.        Testing the program 5.        Disassemble the program 6.        Hack the program Buffer overflow is an anomaly that occurs when software writing data to a buffer overflows the buffer’s capacity, resulting in adjacent memory locations being overwritten. In other words, too much information is being passed into a container that does not have enough space, and that information ends up replacing data in adjacent c...
