Got a stuck trackball on your Blackberry Pearl, Blackberry Curve, or Blackberry 8800? Try cleaning it!
- Using a thin plastic screwdriver blade (the ones in those little kits), pop off the silver cover around it
- Take out the whole trackball assembly
- Get a glass out of the kitchen
- Put a few drops of dishwater detergent in it
- Fill to brim with HOT water
- Drop trackball assembly in it
- Swirl cup around until your almost out of water
- Fill cup back up with hot water and keep rinsing
- Drain glass, remember to not let the assembly go down the drain!
- Dry the assembly. You should be able to air dry it or dry it by hand, but if your really anal, use compressed air or a hair dryer
- Place dried assembly back into Blackberry
- Replace cover
- Enjoy your non-stuck trackball!
