awhile ago i died my trackball using RIT dye.

is there ANY way of getting it off?, i need to return my phone and dont have a spare trackball and dont feeling like ordering one.

or can Telus send a replacement to my house and can i swap out the trackball? and send the broken phone back?

thanks for the help!

this RIT dye looks inexpensive, maybe you could just dye your new trackball lol

Sounds like you came up with your own solution. Swap out the trackball when the replacement comes to your house.

do you know if Telus can send replacements to a house?

Don't you have more of the dye? It looks to be like $4 a bottle (on their website).

i think what hes asking is if they'll take the phone with a dyed trackball?

i need to send it in for a replacement, if i send it in like it is i will void the warranty

[xlarkascendingx]

i see, i didnt know that that sucks.... id lie and say it was like that lol

This is one of the many reasons why everyone should always have a spare trackball on hand.

The dye is permanent and will not come off. If it comes down to it, just return your old curve without any trackball in it. Tell them you wanted to keep your old TB as a spare.

I would take the track ball out of the new one when it comes and just keep your track ball that has the modification. Its not worth the risk if they do not honor your warranty because they will charge you regular price for the replacement. And it will be a refurb...you dont want to pay $400 bucks for a refurb....

a ball only cost $10 bucks so if you are really concerned its a cheap fix.

[ninja please]

well you need to start "feeling" like ordering one, cause once you dye it it's not coming off.

Just have them ship a new phone and swap the two?
