The articles here at PWW tend to be a bit more in depth than this, but I thought this might be a good tips that many would benefit from. As you’ve probably figured out by now, both Alex and I are Mac users, and just adore the design of Apple’s products. As a result of this, both Alex and I bought the Wireless Mighty Mouse to use with our laptops. A couple of days ago my Mighty Mouse stopped scrolling up. It was weird, because I could still scroll down and horizontally. Since this was very annoying, it became the first thing on my priority list to fix.
After some googlin’ and reading on a couple of Mac forums, I found the solution. Press down the ‘scroll ball’ hard. This sounds like a weird thing to do, but after checking some other sites that said the same thing, I tried it. After pressing the ‘scroll ball’ down quite hard the scroll feature started working again.

I guess I’ll have to use mine more in order for it to break first :D
Mate, your tip didn’t work for me but I read somewhere else that they can get dust on them so I put my lips to the scroll nipple and blew… 2 seconds later she worked again!! Yay…
Pressing the “scroll ball” down quite hard worked for me too.
Pressing down worked for me! it was driving me crazy!
This solution is absolutely sound crazy! However, it worked for me.
Thanks!
