Logitech wireless mouse started producing double-clicks with a single
press, so I took out the batteries, and gave it a good shake and a lot
of "grit" fell out.

That didn't totally cure the intermittent "click", so I gave it a good
flush with denatured alcohol.

Two hours of drying later, it wouldn't come alive.

Four hours later it's now working, but wants to turn itself off at
random :-(

Oh, well.

Jim, it takes a while for a mouse to sober up... And it will have one
hell of a headache in the morning, too.


Maybe blow it out with compressed air?


Seems to be working now.
