floor-dropped wireless mouse

I dropped my new wireless mouse on the floor and it stopped working -- no red light underneath. Naturally, this isn't covered under warranty or AppleCare, so my question now is if this is do-it-yourself fixable. I've taken the cover off the mouse but can see nothing loose or obviously out of place. Is there any hope for this thing or is the only solution to purchase a new one (I've hooked up an old faithful USB mouse for now)?

Thanks.

I suppose not, but the deed's been done. Anyway, I don't think it's really worth lying about. Surely my mouse wasn't the first to fall off a table, and I naively assumed that Apple had built them to hold up to such occurrences and would replace/repair it, especially since it was practically still new. So much for naive assumptions. I don't think I'll get another of these mice unless Apple can show me that they'll survive at least a couple of falls.

I'm not sure if this sort of advice is frowned upon here, but if there's no physical signs of the mouse being dropped do you really have to say it to AppleCare? Just wondering. 😉
