You are a life savior, wife dropped our logitec M170, after that scroll and buttons were working but cursor was not moving, luckly the issue was the optical sensor that had detached. Really appreciate it mate, you saved me a couple bucks :D.
was just looking for tips for opening the top part to clean, wasn't expecting to find a full disassembly and part list as detailed as you made.. great one! thanks !
Thank you. I just received one of these I had ordered and had no idea where the receiver was. My previous mouse, a larger Logitech but I don't know the model number has been having issues with its right button the past week so I need a replacement. Edit: Oh the older one was an M510.
I don't know why but the Logitech website says that M170 has an optic scroll wheel, but in your video it is equiped with a potentiometer sensor. They lied 😢
Do it carefully step by step. Remove the cover and the battery. After that take a moment to identify the 3 clips. After that pull them outward/away from the center as show in the video (this is the tricky and annoying part of the teardown as you may break a clip if you pull hard).
Have the same mouse for the same use, suddenly it started to act like the battery is dying few time a week even when I put a new battery, it still acted that way, I dissasebled it, found a loose metal part that holds a battery, it di-soldered from the board, so I soldered it back, checked every other component, all is fine, but it still acted weird the same way for a week and then stopped working at all. Have no idea what else to check, can't find any video, any guides, if you can, please help. Used it since 2020, never even dropped it once.
It sounds like you did a good troubleshooting. This probably can be caused by various different reasons, including communication problems. Btw is the USB transmitter still properly detected by the OS on the computer?
@@LeonAnavi Thank you for your response!! Seems like the Device manager detecting USB, also disassembled the mouse, looked closely, and found some patina on the metal contacts on all buttons of the mouse, not sure if it has something to do with it working or not and the infrared optic LED does not show any light when I look at through camera lens, I remember it showed it once before but I haven't recorded it on video. I recorded a video of the board close up, maybe it will help, if link does not work, it is the last video on my channel uploads: ruclips.net/video/qfQcPYbSH-c/видео.htmlsi=kJFgst4X0agpx43f
@@cry2love I see patina on some of the solder joints on the PCB of the mouse in your video. This is a bad sign. Are any of the buttons of the mouse working?
@@LeonAnavi No, nothing is working, no life whatsoever. But it worked great, every 3 buttons (left right & middle mouse) until one day it started acting weird, turning off, like the batteries are dying and then went bye bye at all. My idea is to resolder, clear the contacts, and solder buttons back with new clean tin.
@@cry2love you can give it a try but considering the visible patina and the low-cost of the mouse it might not worth it. Btw a few months ago a button broke on my B170 and I had to remove it and solder a brand new one but the rest of the PCB components work great.
Im using g502 hero as my main mouse , I will get mx master 3s for the pc I use for 3D modeling but , I got the M170 for two years and it just stopped showing a mouse crosshair at all and not working it just happened in one day , so what can I do to fix it or how can I know what is the problem with it , and can I make it wired ?
Estoy interesado en el sensor de ángulo que usa la rueda del scroll para saber lo que se ha girado. Podría alguien decirme cual es el que se usa en este ratón o en similares? Muchas gracias
I don't speak Spanish so I am not sure I understand the question. As you can see in the video M170 is with Nordic Semiconductor NRF 31502F chip and Capella 005 VB010411optical sensor.
hello i need help i dropped the m170 and it doesnt work anymore i have connected it properly and tried changing the batteries but still scroll and the buttons dont work and the mouse is on btw Please help
is the mouse detected by the computer as a USB device at all? If you are running a Linux distro you can open a terminal and execute lsusb to see the list of all detected USB devices.
double check that the drivers are ok and the mouse is detected by the OS of the computer. If it not also check the USB dongle and of course inspect the m170 for hardware issues after it has been dropped.
You are welcome. I am happy to hear that the video has helped you. In general the buttons can be fixed if there is a hardware problem but this requires removing the old and soldering new.
@@LeonAnavi like this mice came on the mk235 kit. The keyboard stopped working the T and Y keys. The mice I was able to fix it just by opening and cleaning inside with isopropyl thanks to your video.

Well done! I am happy to see the video has helped you :)
same situation, my mom dropped her M170, and it stopped working. Its simply fixed with this help unmouting
I repaired my mouse's scroll thanks to you. thanks bro
Great 👍 Well done! I glad the video is helpful.
Needed to disassemble the mouse in order to fix its wheel, and it worked. Thanks!
I'm glad the video helped! Well done for fixing the wheel!
how did you fix the wheel, please tell, my wheel suddenly became loose randomly and now it doesn't scroll

Great to hear the video is useful :)
Trochę nie wierzyłem, że to pomoże ale pomogło. Dzięki!

Glad I could help! Eventually if you like soldering, you can consider replacing the right button on your old mouse to fix the right button issue.
I like your background image. Been there a few weeks ago 😁
hehe, thanks :) I had some fun this weekend. Was your teardown out of curiosity or because of a repair?
@@LeonAnavi I actually meant the place that your Desktop background shows at about 4:24 😅
@@stefanmisch5272 oh! Looks like an awesome place to visit. I've never been there although I am using this image for several years as a background :)

well... I don't know about their website but you see what's inside of the particular model/version in my video :)
great!!, thanks you friend, you save my mouse
Glad to hear that :) You are welcome.
great video
keep it up
:)
Thanks, will do or at least try :)
how do you remove the cover so easily
Do it carefully step by step. Remove the cover and the battery. After that take a moment to identify the 3 clips. After that pull them outward/away from the center as show in the video (this is the tricky and annoying part of the teardown as you may break a clip if you pull hard).
hi. do you have any idea for problem with the led not working hence the cursor won't move on the screen. ? clicking n scrolling are working.
Sounds as a problem with the optical sensor. Have a look at the chapter of the video with the teardown to see it on the printed circuit board.
@@LeonAnavi ok thank you sir
Muchas gracias. Con ayuda de este vídeo pude reparar mi mouse🙏
I am happy to hear the video is useful and you have successfully repaired your mouse :)

mx master 3s is a nice model. Converting m170 isn't something trivial. Is the problem in the mouse or in the usb wireless dongle you plug in the pc?
@@LeonAnavi the mouse it self , it came with a keyboard the keyboard is still working but the mouse is not.
@@BriZ3l21 if the mouse itself is totally dead it will be hard to resurrect it without spare parts.
@@LeonAnavi heating the board with a heat gun can help ?
@@BriZ3l21 yes, it might help if a solder joint is damaged and not making a good contact.

what about type of wheel encoder ?
I am not sure what is the exact wheel encoder model. Probably you can source a spare and/or the wheel mechanism from aliexpress or ebay.
god thankyou i dissassembled the mouse to only find out the battery was drained
Well, things like this happen. You have cleared it along the way for the disassembly and practiced your skills so it wasn't a wasted effort :)
I need help
What kind of help do you need for this Logitech mouse?
its b170
No, this one is grey black color and it is M170 as shown at 2:53. b170 is the same but entirely black. I also have B170.

Idk what happened.
