Computer mouse problem
You must read this http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/wgtaylor/FM.pdf . It is a true account of a PC problem that really did turn out to be a mouse problem ....a real mouse inside the PC that is.
Leaving school at sixteen I was employed has a radio and TV appentice service engineer. My first job was reconditioning the old dual standard televisions, tube,,crt,chaninging etc. I placed a dual standard tv on the repair bench and powered it up and it started to Smoke from the valve turret tuner. I took the metal cover of the tuner to find it Packed full of chewed up news paper and mouse dropings. It was the ideal nest nice and warm with the heat from the valves. I cleaned it put and then watched Tom & Jerey whir the boss was not looking.
