blackberry trackball problems

a quick tip i’m happy to pass on…i was having trouble with my blackberry pearl’s trackball not tracking left.  i had a mate who had similar issues, but i’d been fortunate to not having anything, in spite of me probably not giving my pearl the best care in the world – i just tend to shove it into my pocket, so i’m sure there is all kinds of dust and lint in the wrong places.the solution to this problem was to pull the little trackball out and clean around the magnetic rollers and sensors.  it’s a delicate operation, but seems to work just fine.  the best info i could find about this is here.  read it careful, proceed carefully…  and BIG TIP OF THE DAY…  note carefully the orientation of the bits as you remove them!  :-)  have fun!
