I have this wireless mouse from a brand name Fuhlen, its model name is A06G Red and it has some issue. Every battery i put in will be drained in a day or less, and a weird liquid comes out of the battery case . I searched online for how long a wireless mouse should lasted and people usually say in few months or a year, but it's not the case here.

Have you left it standing at any point? If you ever leave something that has batteries in for a long period of time the batteries can leak. How long have you had the mouse they should last longer than a day? Could you send it back and try another?
 
A good quality wireless mouse should last for several years, not just "a few months" or just a year. I've had a Microsoft wireless mouse for 6 years now & it's still working good as new.

There's no point trying to fix your mouse anyway if batteries have leaked inside it. It's either poor-quality or you just happened to get a bad one. I'd say it's poor-quality 'cos it's a brand I've never heard of until today.

Throw it away and buy a new, well-known quality brand like Microsoft or Logitech. Use only high-quality batteries in it too, such as Duracell.

Thanks for replying, I had this mouse for around 8 months now, and unfortunately, it's not in the warranty time anymore. When it was new it lasted alot longer but, till recent 1-2 months, it starting to behave like that. I dropped it many times, don't know if that's the cause.

Hmm... Interesting, but i still have to try something, I'm broke.
So I've opened it and cleaned all of the battery's thingy and it's still won't work like before, there are no burnt mark on the PCB or anything.

Yeah... I'm not from the UK but rather Vietnam, and I got it from a retail store.

Have a look at what warranty the store offers and check what the laws on consumers rights are where you live you may be entitled to a refund or a new mouse if you cannot all I can suggest is to get a cheap one off ebay just to keep you going for now then invest in a better one thurther down the line that comes with a warranty in case it breaks. Sorry I can't offer a solution to fix it.
