How to clean your BlackBerry trackball
Much hoopla was made this week about one tech writer's frustration with the BlackBerry trackball, as we mentioned in this week's News From The Wire. So I figured today was as good as any to throw up a quick tip on how to clean your BlackBerry trackball. Yes, it's a quick tip because it's rather simple. After the jump, we'll guide you through with some pictures. For now, get yourself a dry rag and a small screwdriver

First, you'll have to use the screwdriver to remove the ring from the outside of the trackball. I'd recommend doing this from the top, since it's the only part of the wheel that doesn't have a prong (you'll see what I mean when you pull it out). Once that is loose, you'll be able to take the trackball unit out as well. The set should look like this:

Now we want to concern ourselves with the trackball unit. First, wet your finger and run it across the trackball to pick up any residue which might be sticking to it. Next, you'll notice there are four black wheels on each corner of the unit. Remove them one by one, removing any dust or buildup with your fingertips. I'd recommend not using water here. Just something about water and BlackBerry that makes me uneasy.

Finally, we'll look back to the unit, where you'll see a copper sensor where the trackball used to be. Wipe this gently with the rag. This is a very fragile and very sensitive part. If you treat it roughly, it will break and you'll have a worse problem than a dirty and clogged trackball.

Finally, drop the trackball unit back into the crevice, and pop the ring back on, prongs facing left, right, and down. Voila! Should be good as new. And now you don't have to send your BlackBerry to IT, or out for repair. Imagine that.

• Works perfectly in my BB Curve. The old trackball was stained from a a broken compact in my makeup bag, and after I tried to clean it up, the trackball would stick once in a while. With the replacement it is like new! The replacement, at least to me, looks *exactly* like the old trackball. I'm thinking about buying another one to have on hand in case I need it!

• After fighting my old trackball (more than a year old), I was really looking forward to smooth operations again. Unfortunately, the new one is very sticky. I still don't understand how I can move the trackball in one direction while the cursor moves in the opposite direction!

• After reading about replacing the trackball to my Curve I found that AT&T would not simply replace it - they would require it to be sent in. I looked on dinodirect for a replacement trackball. Great price for 2 trackballs. I ordered with normal shipping on a Thursday and it was in my mailbox on Monday. Popped it in and it worked better than before! So amazed! Highly recommend purchasing even if your trackball is fine - so you are prepared in case you break it while cleaning.

• I dropped my blackberry, and the trackball and housing fell out and would not work when replaced. I went to a blackberry authorized repair center, which quoted my $100 to fix it. I wanted to try and fix it myself, so I purchased a trackball kit on Dinodirect, and within 2 weeks, it arrived. I opened it, popped it in, and my device was working within one minute, literally.

• My journey to fixing my Blackberry 8100 trackball started with looking online for repair services. The first I found charged around $70, so I went to the T-Mobile store to see if they could assist. They directed me to Customer Care phone support, and after being on hold for about 15 minutes, the answer was, "It's not under warrantee, you don't have insurance, sorry." I then started looking again for online fixes. This part sells at a range between $5 and $50, installation not included. I was pleased that I was able to get such a small part, at such a great price, from this seller. Without any resources or "how to" I found that this was an easy fix, just dropping the trackball into the hole, and gently clicking the silver ring cover (the side w/o prongs towards the LCD), and voila, good as new!

• My trackball on my 8100 pearl stopped scrolling up. I tried pulling it out and cleaning it, to no avail. I was a little suspicious whether this would fix the problem, but it did. It looks and fits just like OEM. It was pretty easy to install: just pry under the silver ring around the trackball, and the ring pops out. Then pry the smaller silver ring out, and then pop the trackball assembly out and pop the new one in. Not for those that are very technologically faint of heart -- but no harder than, say, adding memory to a computer. I am just glad I did not have to get a whole new blackberry to fix the problem.

• I use my BlackBerry 7130 A LOT (probably over 4 hours a day), so I burn through a new track ball every few months or so. For the cost of replacement track balls it isn't worth wasting your time cleaning and reinserting old ones. AT&T will actually replace these for you as part of the limited warranty, but since mine is corporate issued it would take a decent effort to get the IT deparment to get it fixed - I can't be without a phone for a few days while that happens, so I just replace the trackball myself.
