Introduction

Whether your Elite M1-131 cord is broken and not responding or you simply want a new style, this guide will show you how to replace your mouse cord step-by-step. Over time the mouse cable will become worn out, resulting in the mouse getting discounted randomly and the cable itself not providing its smooth lightweight feeling anymore.

Before using this guide, try plugging your mouse into a different USB port on your computer along with removing any dust or debris that could be in the way. If the issue is still at hand, follow this guide and make sure the mouse is unplugged.
