Introduction
Use this guide to learn how to readjust a dislodged spring in the Logitech M310 mouse wheel. A dislodged spring can cause the mouse wheel to spin freely without any resistance, rather than the default ratcheting behavior.
If the mouse wheel spins freely, the sensor inside the mouse cannot detect the wheel accurately. Inaccurate detection of the mouse wheel will cause screens or web pages to move up and down randomly. This repair guide will help you take the mouse apart and push the spring back to its correct position. You are not required to have any repair experience. You should not encounter any damage to both yourself or the mouse if you follow the steps in this repair guide.

Great tutorial. I thought I needed to buy another one. With this I managed to fix it under 2 minutes. Thanks! :)
Excellent instructions, I searched the web for days looking for the solution. I could not determine if it was software or hardware, the mouse wheel has always spun free, no clicking. After following your instructions, it clicks when I scroll and the spontaneous jumping is gone. Thanks a million!
Fantastic instructions! I was struggling to find out how the spring should be placed for the proper ratcheting behavior. This walk-through got me there in less than a minute. Thank you very much!
