Clean the console mouse
Clean the console's PS/2 wheel mouse when its movement becomes abnormal: open the ball holder, wipe the ball and its 3 internal rollers, reassemble, and verify. This is one of the three Operation-section components alongside the monitor and the keyboard and control PWB (see Related) — use this page specifically for mouse cleaning/replacement; for the monitor or keyboard, go to their own reference

Safety
Hazard: Using liquids such as detergents to clean the ball and the 3 rollers inside the mouse
Consequence: Not stated explicitly in source (equipment-quality concern only — FSELIB assigns NOTICE, not CAUTION, per the platform's ANSI Z535 property-damage tier)
Avoidance: Do not use liquids such as detergents on the ball/rollers. Remove only dirt and dust, and take care to prevent dust from remaining inside the mouse.
Hazard: Wiping the mouse's outer surface with alcohol or organic solvents
Consequence: Not stated explicitly in source (equipment-quality concern only — FSELIB assigns NOTICE, not CAUTION)
Avoidance: Wipe the outer surface only with a soft cloth that is moistened with neutral detergent and wrung out. Do not use alcohol or organic solvents.
Hazard: Connecting a mouse other than the one provided in the standard configuration, or one approved by Nasu Operations
Consequence: Not stated in source (no injury or equipment-damage outcome is given; treat as an approved-hardware compatibility requirement)
Avoidance: The mouse must be the one provided in the standard configuration, or one that has been approved by Nasu Operations. Do not connect any other mouse to the system.
