It sounds like you need a hardware repair. Here's the final test before you send it away.
Remove the trackball and set it aside. Switch on the phone and using a blunt tool (a toothpick with a broken end is just perfect) and poke it down the hole where the trackball used to be. You will see a brown button down there. This is the trackball click sensor. Press gently with the broken toothpick and your will feel a little click as the detent operates. This is the trackball action. If nothing happens on the screen when you feel the tiny click then, thee is a problem with the sensor.
You cannot repair this yourself as it requires specialist tools and components.
The part I'm talking about is a surface mount component on the main board. If the test I putlined fais to produce a valid trackball click then the phone needs a repair in a fully equipped repair shop.
