Hello how do I fix a mouse that has a lost prong on the inside?

- Ok maybe I wasn't clear enough I tried to plug the mouse into my computer and I accidently bent one of the prongs on the connector/ male part of the PS2 connector that fits into the computer. I tried to bend it back but broke it off and now the mouse does not work. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Thanks
Nicole

-   I used a fingernail file to open the hole that was blocked because it was still bent on my mouse since I didn't have tweezers. It worked!!! Thanks for the tip.

If the ps2 port on the main board is broken you will need to replace the board. If this is the case and your computer has usb ports on it just go out and buy a usb mouse.

 

If the part that is broken is from the mouse by using tweezers try to gently remove the broken part from the board. if unsuccessful use the usb port with a usb mouse.
