look, ive been a BB owner for about a year now.. the 8320. I basically know my way around you know, i go on this site alot. but i have never ever seen this before.
Today, I took my phone out of standby, and entered my password, and for somereason, the trackball would not move where i would tell it to. it seemed about stuck in the top left corner, but would make random movements, so i batt-pulled.
When it booted back up, everything was fine. I surfed the net a bit, and while i was in the browser, i got a call from my friend. i disconnected the call, and the same thing happened. My trackball wouldnt respond to me, but would make small, jerky movements randomly. batt-pulled again.
it worked fine, and then i put it down. picked it up a while later, and it was un-responsive again. so i batt-pulled. but now even after a re-boot, it is jerky and unresponsive constantly.
so, i switched out my trackball for another one, and rebooted. same thing. switch THAT track ball out for ANOTHER one (I have a couple laying around). same thing. i dunno whats happening.
and for some reason the trackball-backlighting is flickering constantly, and even when the phone is off, that light is still on.
i havent dropped it, gotten it wet, or anything...
so tell me fellow addicts, what can i do?
i have an 8320. T-Mobile. os 4.5.0.124.

uhh no direct liquids or spills, but as to the shower...
i did leave it in the same room as a shower. twice. but like 2 weeks ago, and i wrapped it in tissues to protect from moisture and this happened today... do you think that could be it?

I think it will work even if you wrap the BB in some tissue to keep the rice from making direct contact with your BB. The important thing is that you seal the container after the BB is in, a ziploc bag works well.

ok, so ive let my bb sit in a sealed bag of rice for about 3 days now. i just took it out, and put in the battery. it booted up and i put in the trackball. it still wont respond to me, and keeps move erratically. what should i do now?
