Introduction
If your Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless Mouse (RGP0075) is suspected to be a dead battery, then use this guide to gain the knowledge to replace it.
The battery in the mouse gives it wireless functionality. To make sure, plug your mouse into a micro USB cable, let it charge for a while and see if the Bluetooth or 2.4Ghz single is working. If it still does not work, then continue with this guide.
This mouse uses a battery to hold its power so that it can be useable without a cable, and in rare cases, these batteries can give up and become unusable. This takes away from the wireless ability of the mouse.
Steps 3 and 5 of this guide require you to unplug the circuit board and battery along with taking out the battery. Avoid touching the circuit board to avoid damaging it.
