Introduction
In this guide, you will learn how to fix the problem with the front spool of your Tipp-Ex Pocket Mouse. The problem is caused by the spool being too small and not picking up the used tape properly, which leads to the tape tangling. Attention: Tipp-Ex is difficult to remove!
What you need
-
-
Open the red tab at the top of the housing or pull it off.
-
Use a screwdriver to carefully open the housing. Be careful not to use too much force so as not to damage the plastic or the pins.
-
Remove the top of the housing to expose the inner workings of the mouse.
-
-
-
Carefully remove the rubber that ensures the rollers roll up and down smoothly.
-
Make sure that the rollers do not come off.
-
-
-
Take the front, small and probably very full roll and unwind about 5 cm of ribbon.
-
Cut the ribbon.
-
-
-
-
Remove all plastic tape waste from the reel.
-
It is best to roll the waste directly into the waste garbage can.
-
-
-
Cut a 3 mm wide strip of scotch tape.
-
Use it to stick the Tipp-Ex tape back onto the roll.
-
Wind a few turns onto the roll.
-
-
-
Check the belt guide and tension of the belt.
-
Hold the encoder roller firmly and tighten the belt with the waste roller.
-
-
-
Put the mouse back together and press the lid firmly onto it.
-
If plastic parts were ruined when opening, you can glue them shut.
-
Your Tipp-Ex Pocket Mouse is now repaired and can be used again until the tape in the encoder roll is actually empty.
