Later in the afternoon I will open the mouse to check if I do have +5v on the chip. I can see there are some diodes on the pcb in the cir unit of the mouse and I would like to ask if these get damaged or not. It Is my first mouse bought on 1996.

Hot flashing using uniflash and flash rom. You can easily find then on hirens CD 8,7 and rescuesystemcd 3.3 and please check your floppy discs because usually they are damaged. You can alternatively write the bios roms to a CD.
