Mighty Mouse Can't Scroll Down?

I am having trouble with the Wireless Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. For some odd reason the Scroll Ball will no longer scroll Down? Has anyone else had any of these problems? Does anyone know how to fix them? If so please let me know.

You know it will not scroll down in Menus, right?

... and you have seen how Apple expects you to clean it:

Hmm well I have seen the first article...

I just now tried the second article I cleaned it and everything but I am still unable to scroll down...

I do not have Vertical Scrolling Disabled.

Like I said this mouse is a Hand-Me-Down from my Dad and he has gone through about 5 of them because of this problem. ALTHOUGH His doesn't clean his Apple products that much (it gets on my nerves) BUT I tried Cleaning it and I am still unable to scroll down wards...

The retail price for Mighty Mouses are?

$50.00 or $60.00 for the BlueTooth?

and $30.00 for the Wire Mighty Mouses?

I am thinking maybe I should purchase anther one and have it be MY Mighty Mouse and clean it regularly.

I am using the Mighty Mouse now and it works fine except I can scroll down but I would hate to but another because this one works very well.

I am wondering if Apple could "clean" it if I dropped it off at my local Apple store? Although I could just buy another if I did that?

But if anyone has any other ideas or any other help they could give me that would be great.

In all respect to you. I don't really think that is the problem. Because the surface I use is a hard wood table that is brown and the tracking is fine on the Mighty Mouse. I CAN scroll from side to side I just found out. So I can scroll up,left and right but NOT down... I think that maybe something broke inside of the Mouse like the sensor for scrolling down...

Got same problem and none of the solutions mentioned here worked. So I took a vacuum cleaner, adjusted sucking to "lowest" and gave it a go round all cavities. Mighty Mouse now works perfectly.

Warning - be carefull when vacuuming scroll button area, press it down and hold it with your nail, so it doesn't get sucked-up. Didn't happen to me, but i had to find the F3 key fom my PowerBook in the cleaner....
