In my experience, usually when the DePraz mouse behaves like this it can be
corrected by adjusting the quadrature threshold potentiometers (variable
resistors).  As I recall there are four adjustments, two for each axis,
and usually a small tweak will get the tracking working again.
undoubtedly there is a proper way to set these using an oscilloscope etc.
but I've always been able to get by with trial and error.  Make sure you
record exactly how the pots start out and make only small deviations
from that point.
