I was at a concert the other night. I was trying to type a mms message and the phone would just send the message fragment in the middle of typing for some reason. Now the trackball doesn't work easy as a button. I have to press upwards and really hard to get it to work. Any ideas? I'd had to exchange my BB for a refurb unit under warranty if I don't have to.
also, try and press hard while the phone is locked, and roll the trackball while pushing downward, usually between these 3 methods you can get it working again!!!
I had the same problem. Replacing the trackball didn't work for me, I had to get a replacement phone. You might try starting with cleaning or replacing the trackball though, maybe you'll have better luck.
I tried pulling the battery with the unit on. I cleaned the trackball per the instructions. I tried depressing and rolling the ball as well. It clicks very easily. But to get it to recognize the pressing, you have to press really hard.
Darn it. Can i get a trackball easily somewhere? Any other ideas?
It's probably not the trackball mechanism but the switch below the trackball, the one that senses the click that is defective. Changing the trackball will not help.
I bought a new trackball + metal ring for less than $5 on ebay, free shipping also. You might give that a try, if all else fails, you end up with a referb and a new trackball!
