The scroll wheel on my mouse is squeaky?

Question

so i bought a new computer a few weeks ago. and the mouse that it came with started squeaking. but i really like the computer so i dont wanna return it. i their any way to fix the squeaky mouse? would Hp replace it under warranty if i called them?

Answer 1

Have you ever cleaned your mouse? the bottom comes off and you can buy a mouse cleaning kit or use alcohol and a q tip to clean it and it should stop squeaking.

Answer 2

They might replace it but you'd doubtless have to pay shipping both ways as it isn't actually defective. I'd just buy a mouse you like, and keep this one for a spare.

Answer 3

Buy a new mouse.

Answer 4

The manufacturer offered to replace my mouse for it's squeaky wheel, but they needed me to mail it back and pay for return shipping.

In my case it was cheaper to just buy a new mouse. You can get decent computer mice for under $10.

Answer 5

It may be considered a defect, so it would be covered under a warranty. I suggest just buying a new mouse rather than dealing with that hassle. You’d probably have to pay shipping both ways, all for a cheap mouse that isn’t even worth it.

I don’t see why you’d even consider returning a computer because of a mouse, you do know any mouse will work right?

Answer 6

They might.
