Blackberry Pearl 8130 trackball clicker malfunction.
- My GF's 8130 has issues all the time (she's changed it twice because of this issue) on the click of the trackball.
The trackball moves in all the directions but as soon as she tries to click on something it doesn't work. We went to a sprint store where they fixed it by cleaning it but it went bad in 30min of usage again.
So she has to hit enter for every time she wants to click on something...unfortunately that doesn't cut it with some applications that require for you to click instead of hit enter for you to use the apps.
Sorry if this has been asked before in another thread, but if you could help please do? We're tired of getting new pearls (we've had to exchange hers 5 times in the past 2 years! Yikes!)
Thanks!08-06-09 02:57 PMLike 0 - Hmm, we already replaced the trackball at the store. But man, this keeps happening for the past 3 phones she's had! lol. I'm just glad her contract is expiring soon so she can get a curve or tour.08-06-09 04:00 PMLike 0
