Cleaning a Trust Predator

I have a Trust GM-4200 Predator optical mouse. It's pretty good, but I have some problems with it.
The wheel is starting to get clogged with dirt, and sometimes it goes crazy and jumps randomly while scrolling. It's very tiring to get it working properly...
I can't open the damn thing. It only has a visible screw (covered with a "breaking voids guarantee" seal), but it must have some kind of or latch inside.
I contacted Trust support, but they smartest thing they told me was "clean it with a wet cloth

".

I can't buy a decent mouse right now, and i wont buy a crappy one for two bucks.
Anyone has an idea of how can I open this f*cker?

Here's a picture of this factory sealed "send-it-to-us-and-we-will-repair-it-for-100$" piece of crap:

I live in Spain. The technical support for all this stuff is on the other side of the Atlantic, and shipping costs may be high, and I mean HIGH...
