Logitech G502 Hero Feet Replacement
ID: 170666
Description: Use this guide to replace worn-out or damaged...
Steps:
- Before starting your repair, unplug the mouse.
- Throughout your repair, it may be helpful to lay your mouse on a soft cloth to stabilize it and prevent damage while you work.
- The feet are secured to the bottom of the mouse with adhesive. In order to cleanly remove them, the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated.
- Heat an iOpener and lay it on the mouse feet for one minute to heat the adhesive.
- Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer on the Low heat setting to soften the adhesive.
- If you're using a hair dryer, only heat the feet a few seconds at a time or you may warp the plastic shell.
- The feet have two layers—a rubberized one and an adhesive pad underneath.
- If you're reusing the feet, be very careful not to separate the two layers or damage the feet.
- Carefully slide the point of a spudger under the large foot near the front of the mouse, making sure it goes under both the foot and its adhesive pad.
- The foot recesses have a small notch that makes it easier to slide your spudger under.
- Gently slide the spudger farther under the foot and lift until you can grip the pad with your fingers.
- Peel up and remove the foot.
- If the rubber layer separates from its adhesive pad, use the same process to remove the pad.
- Repeat the last three steps to remove the remaining feet.
- If you're just removing the feet to open the mouse, you don't need to remove the two angled ones near the sensor or the larger one on the outer edge.
- To install a new foot:
- If any of the feet got damaged during removal or separated from their adhesive pads, replace them.
- Use a spudger to carefully scrape up and remove any remaining adhesive bits.
- Use isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth to thoroughly clean all adhesive residue from the foot recesses. Allow the surface to completely dry.
- Remove the feet from their backing and firmly press them into place.
