Hello everybody! Looks like someone here is a little bit clumsy: I spilled acetone over my magic mouse. But it's OK! It still works! Though, unfortunately, it's now with a horrible stain and I don't know how to fix it, or if this thing will cause any damage to my mouse. It's horrible!!! Does anyone know if there is anything that can be done? Thank you.
Throw it in the trash and buy a new one.
No way. It's working.
Not for long.
If it is the sensation from touch that is troubling you, you could as a last resort use a paint spray intended for metals. It should adhere and will dry with a smooth surface ... but you'd have to be mighty careful to cover the gap that enables clicking.
The magic mouse is, despite this dreadful accident, on his surface, brand new as its first day (I bought it last month). My concern is if it will affect the "engine". Kappy said it will. Take a look at the picture I posted (please) and you'll find out that it's bright as a new one, and working as if nothing had happened to it. Let's wait and see. Thank you, seventy one!
I would never argue the toss with Kappy, who is one of our most senior contributors. But looking and magnifying the picture, I would say you may get away with it.
But at the end of the day, if you have a problem, that would be the cause. If you don't, you would have got away with it. In either case one of us has turned out to be right ... but no more than that.
Your original question asked how to resolve it. We have both answered that.
"Que sera, sera", as the music says... Thank you both. 🙂
