Hi all,wellcome to my 1st and only mouse cleaning and moding day.
After seeing Ianho's MX-510 turn out to be very neat and clean.So,i think that i need to transform my old G3 that i bought from a forumer.
When it arrived at my hand,the G3 looks so dirty and like an early 80's mouse.

I didn't manage to snap all the pictures while i am taking off all the screws.
I think most of you know already how to take off all those screws.

I hope the one who sold to me his G3 will look at this thread.
IMO,this G3 is more than a year old.

Here's the original pictures of the G3 when it arrive on my hand.Looks so dirty.
I don't have much of the original pictures as i was so disappointed by the look of the G3.


Lets get things start:

All parts are to be cleaned with a detergent.


As you can see,the ugly parts.





The boards we're cleaned first as it is very dusty.


Will upload more pictures of the outcome later.

Nope,its the grey paint wear off,so its exposing the black.

Updates after installing all parts together.

It looks like new.
This shot was taken after polishing.

All i did was remove all those gray paint that makes the mouse looks so dull by using a plastic ruler.





Will try to add a LED inside it later.

I am not that good la,i did this since there's no more warranty for this G3.

Want to try to put some LED's into your G3?

Thanx man.
I tried to put up a blue LED this morning inside the mouse,but ended up with wasting my time.
There no point for me just to put a LED because theres no light coming out the mouse after a installed the parts.

Well,i am not gonna give as i am still thinking on how to mod it.
Gonna get some tips from others later.

So still want to wait for the warranty to get void?
3 months is a loooooooong time dude.
Im not poisoning you.

Can you tell me more about it???
I am really eager to see my G3 have a light inside of it but till now no ideas.

Haha.nevermind bro.I will do it later if i have some ideas to mod it.

Thanx bro for the support.At first i wanted to sell it,but now thinking of to keep it.
Thank you bro.

Well,just need time and ideas.
Hoping you can share some ideas with me bro.
