Einleitung

If your Razer Viper Mini cable is damaged or not working properly, or you want to change the cable to a different one, use this guide to replace the mouse cable.

Regularly, a mouse that is connected to a computer or USB enabled device will work without issues. However, over time the mouse cable will go through wear and tear and will become damaged - resulting in a mouse constantly disconnecting or not connecting at all.

It’s important to mention that using a plastic spudger (like in Step 4) to open the device is essential as using metal devices can easily damage your mouse.

Before using this guide, make sure the mouse is unplugged from any device.

    • Use the plastic spudger to gently lift the backplate in order to access the internal components.

    • Insert the spudger into the bottom front of the mouse and slowly move it around the mouse which will release the backplate.

    • Do not try to jab the mouse with the plastic spudger with a large amount of force, this can damage the plating of your mouse.

    • Use the plastic spudger once again to remove the shell of the mouse.

    • It is exactly like the previous step as you have to dig the plastic spudger gently into the bottom of the mouse and move it inwards to slowly release the shell.

    • You have now successfully removed the top shell of the mouse!

    • Remove the old cable.

    • Make sure your new mouse cable has a 5-pin molex connector that is compatible with the Razer Viper's PCB.

    • Route the cable through the previous route that the original cable was in, remembering to press down with your Phillips #0 screwdriver so the PCB can fit nicely on top.

    • Lastly, plug the molex power connector of the new cable back into the PCB of the Razer Viper Mini and make sure it is tightly fitted.

    • Start from the top of the mouse and make sure it is securely fitted by the sound of the clicks before you start pushing the bottom.

    • Once the top shell is back on securely, you can put the backplate back on. Make sure it clicks when you put it back on.

Remember to make sure all of the screws are tightly fitted and the molex cable is fitted tightly before you plug the mouse back into the USB source.
