I remove the insides of a dead-ish TrippLite ISOBAR power strip and it’s probably good to fall asleep to.
Mouse Repair – Razer Deathadder Left-Handed Edition Scroll Wheel
I repair the scrollwheel on a Razer Deathadder Left-Handed mouse after dropping a hard drive on it. Check the chapters to skip right to the solution.

Viva 2018.
