Wire just twisted whne using for long period?
I bought a mouse like 2 or 3 months ago and after that the wire begin to twist, is it because using it too long period and it gets hot and make the wire twist? And the wire that connect to the usb head, dunno what it called but the wire got out from it. I remember one of my old iphone charger the wire comes out, its like they got too hot and burn out the thing that cover the wire? Could you explain how this happens and how to prevent it nexst time?
If the wires get pulled on or twisted, the wire insulation can be damaged, exposing the wires inside the mouse cable. The cable carries 5 volts, ground, and pair of data wires. If the 5 volts and ground short together, then the cable gets hot. You can sometimes take the mouse apart, cut out the damaged section of cord, and carefully solder the good section of wires to the mouse. Or it might be easier to spend $10.00 and get a new mouse.
Shadow, it could be simple to fix. Once a week unplug the mouse from the computer an allow the wire to straighten itself or give it a little help if needed. Even though you think that you are not turning the mouse in the same direction all the time you probably are. By unplugging it you allow the wire to unwind itself. A wireless mouse will eliminate this problem or a wireless keyboard/mouse set, just don't lose the receiver.
Good Luck, keep your chin up and remember summer will be here sooner than you think.
- Where can I buy thin, stiff wire? I'm looking for the thinnest possible wire that is pliable and can hold its shape while standing vertically, possibly while holding a hollow, iPhone-sized, cardboard box.Am I able to find this anywhere? And am I more likely to find something like this at an arts and crafts store or a hardware store?
- Verizon iPhone Disabled for a long period of time? I have the iPhone 5. I recently changed my password, but something wrong must have happened when I first typed it in. Once I set my password and used my phone, I locked my phone. When I needed to use it again I tried putting my new password in and it would not work. I ended up disabling my phone for an hour. The next time I tried to unlock my phone it disabled again. It's been disabled for about two days now.
