The mouse that scrolled

The victims - 2 trackballs
Gather the necessary tools...
Take the 'click-board' out of the cordless
Comparing the two 'click-boards'
Remove the 'click-board' from the working trackball
Desoldering some stuff...
The 'photo-emitter-detector' pair removed from one and transplanted to the other
The deed is done - I wonder if it'll work?
