i have an old Intellimouse Explorer...no it's not the Intellimouse Explorer 3.0, it's the old original Intellimouse Explorer, the body is somewhat the same but the difference is still quite significant. it's not even used much, feels like new, buttons etc. work fine but i take it out to use it one day and the sensor just won't track. the mouse connects/installs/powers fine and the buttons respond but the sensor just won't move well unless used very slowly. i move the mouse at a bit higher speed than standard desktop usage speed at the tracking goes bonkers (cursor jumps all over, or doesn't move at all). if someone knows how to fix this then please help. i've tried everything but i just don't get what's wrong. i am using Win XP btw.

i also have an old beaten-up WMO, the buttons scroll and body shell are pretty fucked up now, it's now in a state where playing with it will mess your game. the sensor itself is pretty ok though.

so i was planning on a mouse mod and i want to take the sensor internals of the WMO and put them into the IME-O. i opened both to take a look and i don't think it is possible, but i would still like to give it a shot.

can anyone here help?
TIA
