Couple devices to be fixed

Logitech G500

Alright, I have owned Logitech G500 4 years now and had it warranty changed once. Those who own probably have had problems with it like double clicking (brand new), middle-mouse button doesn't work, wheel doesn't spin, free wheel function doesn't work, cable problems and so on... Recently they admitted firmware problem with ~45ms delay with clicks. 

Anyway so my G500 problem has always been middle mouse button just dies, and it seems to be very cheap switch indeed. With patch of 100 it costs 2 cents each. With Logitech production size most likely cost is below 1 cent. Oh they use these switches even with their highest end G9 mouses aswell. I originally posted quick tutorial how to fix these mouses on Logitech forums but it got deleted right away and my account was set to banned status for a moment.

So logitech doesn't want information how their mouses can be repaired to be shared on their forums, so have to make a good tutorial for it. I am currently still waiting for switches to arrive from China and when I get them I will make full tutorial.

ZTE 931WII Modem

I received this free trough forum. Owner said it fried when plugged into outlet. So far only thing which I have checked is power supply which is dead. I will later get to laboratory and start inspecting PCB what is broken / fried if anything is wrong. Might just be that power supply died and the modem itself is good to go.

Stay tuned.
