Use cntrl + alt + arrow key to turn the screen upside down. Then tape the mouse bottom. Then turn off the computer. Then turn off the monotir ( you have no idea how stupid ppl are when i comes to computer it takes forever for them to figure it out )

You can also use scotch tape not the purely clear stuff, but the foggy stuff. It wont make the cursor not move but it will make it seem glitchy.
HAVE FUN!!

Put something on the sticky note like "LOL" for extra credit.

if they have ball mice just use scotch tape and tape the ball down or take it out

Sep 19, 2009. 5:04 PMpengyduck says:

Or tape it from the inside, so the ball is still there but it doesn't work and there is no evidence! It would also provide some good laughs is your school's tech support decided to replace the mice.

With ball mice, just take the ball.

Mar 23, 2009. 4:20 PMItsTheHobbs says:

haha, me and some friends got introuble for doing that.

This is best if you break in and do it to the school's 200 some computers... :P

Mar 26, 2008. 10:29 PM21GeeOff21 says:

i do this as well as the full screen screen capture image. they think they figure it out when the fix the mouse, but then they cant click anything

Feb 21, 2009. 2:04 PMbug on fire says:

nice going that really good

Apr 21, 2008. 10:30 AMthefunktopus says:

try supergluing some plastic strips over the laser reader thingy or in balled mice superglue the balls into position XD

Oct 9, 2008. 10:44 PMextremegtafan says:

That would cost tax dollars for the schools to replace the mice, because they're too stupid to remove the insides and use paint thinner on 'em. Our tech support wouldn't suggest that, because they want money. But they gave me this computer... Oh. It's 10 years old. About time they retired it.

Oct 24, 2008. 4:29 PMred-king says:

oh well... you can't really blame them for wanting money... lol

Waste of other peoples time...? Uhm, one word. No. You should be helping your class mates, not wasting their time.

Oct 9, 2008. 10:40 PMextremegtafan says:

Around here we love wasting time. That way we don't have to work as much. I wrote a movie during a lecture on paying attention once. If you think I'm joking, you're wrong. This got a chuckle from my friends.

Sep 22, 2008. 9:06 PMnave says:

well your no fun at all!

May 30, 2008. 6:19 PMAmadeos says:

instead, just put some masking tape over the laser. It stays on longer

Sep 22, 2008. 9:06 PMnave says:

nice...

Mar 27, 2008. 7:34 PMwolfmanthe says:

just take the balls out of the mice

Aug 28, 2008. 3:29 PMpyro man says:

lol he said balls!! XD

Jun 19, 2008. 5:07 PMThe Mollusk says:

My school doesn't have any more of the mice with the balls.

you wouldn't beleive how much I'm laughing at that.

Mar 29, 2008. 2:44 PMdavis_brud says:

This is used for laser mice not ball mice

Apr 1, 2008. 9:40 AMCashew772 says:

Ya, my school computer lab upgraded to vista and got the laser mice. Except for the tech teacher. He kept the old computers. But got the laser mice. This will totally work.... :P

Sep 17, 2008. 10:20 PMfishyfish777 says:

Lasermice and mice with balls. Great.

Mar 28, 2008. 5:53 AMLabot2001 says:

Ouch... =]

Apr 29, 2008. 1:34 PMseanman says:

This is terrible. Just hide the balls!!

Mar 30, 2008. 3:28 PMGorillazMiko says:

Haha, cool! Very easy to do too. My teacher doesn't check the bottom of the mouse whenever ours stop working (maybe she does, I don't know, most of the time she doesn't), but I might do this. Nice job!

For this "prank" wouldn't duct tape be even more effective. Especially when computer labs get hot, then the duct tape would adhere even better. I'm dying for someone to test this. :D
