There are also other places online that have that item, but I would try horizon first they are a very reputable site.

  • Broken disk that holds track ball in place

    Does anyone know what to do?
    I bought an 8330 last August from Verizon.  All but one prong on the disk that holds the track ball in place are broken.  I went to the Verizon store where I bought the phone.  They don't keep pieces to BBs in stock and told me to call customer service.  Customer service switched me to warranty who said that due to the breakage it was an insurance problem.  I called Assurian insurance and they said that this type of problem isn't covered.  I have no ideal what I did with the insurance papers so I don't know what they say about coverage.  I was told that if I bought and replaced the trackball myself that I would be voiding the warranty.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Replace the trackball and retainer yourself.
    You can by replacement parts and the carrier will never know.
    I have attached a reputable vendor for the parts.
    Also a video of the repair.
    Thanks,

  • Tracking Ball

    It seems my tracking Ball is broken. Is there any other way to check text messages without it? I also had my phone set to "All Alerts Off" and need to change it back to "normal". Is there also a way of doing that without using the tracking ball? Thank you for any help with this matter.

    i dont think theres any way of scrolling around without your rollerball but if you press and hold the Q key the profile should change to the next one which is usually vibrate..  Usually the rollerball doesn't work because there's dirt behind the ball.. if thats the case then if you apply some pressure down on the rollerball and roll it in all directions it tends to loosen it and start working..  Hope this helps

  • Tracker ball on 8900 will not move down.

    So my blackberry, which is on contract to orange uk has again broken. the problem is that the tracker ball will not move down. it moves from left to right and moves up but doesnt move down. you can guess this is rather annoying! I have had it fixed a few months ago for the same problem but it was a bit pricey! I was wondering could you help me with this?

    Try rolling it around on a baby wipe if you have one, if not some alcohol gel, or vodka on a tissue may work. Failing that you could take the trackball out and clean the sensors, it's fiddly but it does work. It's quite simple to do if you have the right screw drivers. I even managed it, and I'm a girl

  • In need of a Mighty Mouse Track Ball

    Something small and hard, fell in the mouse track ball area and while i was pressing it (upside down) on a piece of paper to clean it, that little hard piece of dust, carved the surface of my track ball making it unable to scroll without jumping around!
    So im now in the need of purchasing a new ball and replacing it! Does the ball as a part exist? Because i can't find anything on ebay! Any help?

    What exactly am i looking for in the "about this Mac" specs? I mean i have found the mouses info, i think this is it:
    but what numbers must be used in order to locate it from mouseballz website?

  • Left Serial Track ball button doesn't aleways work in Firefox and T-bird, but works well in IE8 and other programs on this computer

    Sys=WinXP SP3, ASUS MB, Athelon X2 6000 CPU, 4 (3) gb mem.
    Intac Systems mouse trak track ball. This device works fine
    with all the other programs on my computer. In T-bird or Firefox
    the left mouse button often doesn't work for minutes at a time
    then works for a few seconds, then stops again. The right button
    works all the time, even when the left has stopped, as does the
    ball to move the cursor. Have reloaded the Microsoft serial
    mouse drivers and tested the mouse and all is OK.

    The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

  • Mighty Mouse Tracking Ball

    The tracking ball on my Mighty Mouse works side-to-side and up, but not down. It feels as though there's some debris in the way preventing it from letting me scroll down.
    Is there a way to clean it with breaking it?
    Can I take it apart safely?
    Any reponses would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Stephen,
    This has a tendency to happen a lot---for some reason it attracts dirt like anything.
    Just simply get a damp, lint-free fabric and rub it vigorously on the scroll button, making sure you let it roll freely as you do so (to get the entire ball on all sides)---right side up first, so you can see the smudge building up on the sides where the button meets the rest of the casing. You will see some particles get trapped in this a lot. Scrape off all the gook from there...
    Let it rest for a minute or two, to completely dry it from the dampness caused by the fabric, and then turn it upside down while rolling the button to free any other remaining residue...
    Here's the link fron Apple's Support pages:

    Hope that helps

  • Mouse Track Ball only working in one direction

    Hello,
    My Mighty Mouse is 3 months old and now the track ball is only working in one dircetion.
    When I move the ball forward I hear the distinct sound and the scroll bar on e.g. Safari moves, but when I reverse there is no movement on the screen.
    I don't hear the same sound as when I move the track ball forward.
    I have tried to reboot but no improvement.
    Have someone seen teh same issue? Is the solution to simply replace the mouse?
    Thanks / Christer

    Use the instructions in this article to clean the mouse.

  • Mighty Mouse track ball button

    I have been using Snow Leopard for a while and one of the things that I like the most is that I can choose what I want to see in my screen when I move my cursor to the lower right or left corner.
    I have it set up as to SHOW ALL WINDOWS if I move my cursor to the lower right corner, well after I moved to LION that is no loger an option, instead of showing all windows open all it shows are the open windows open of the same application only, How can I set it up the way it was before, is there like a script or something.
    also can it be set up so when I click the tracking ball on my Might Mouse to show ALL windows and not just the program windows?

    I've read all the posting about this..in recent months I've been cleaning the track ball 6,7,8,9....times every day. I had planned to buy a wireless Mighty Mouse but not now, it'd be cheaper to sit in front of my Mac bashing my testicles with a mallet for the same effect. Apple, this is an utter design disaster. Like Joachim says, why not a mouse we can open and clean easily, or a larger, more robust track ball mechanism? I'm off to but a mouse by anyone but Apple...

  • Help tracking ball will not click on link

    The ball will get me to a web site and sign in fine but then I can not get it to work on any links.
    An example just now trying to play tribal wars while out of the house. The ball gets me on the web, signed in to the game and then nothing else works from the tracking ball. It apperas all other features work like the r for refresh etc.
    Thank you in advance.

    Connect the device to a known working wall outlet charger and leave it a couple of hours.
    With it STILL CONNECTED to the charger, remove the battery and re-insert.

  • Curve 8310 - Tracker Ball Grease Problem

    Stupid me clicked on the tracker ball to read an email with greasy fingers.  Although I can still move the ball in all directions, I cannot click on anything.
    I've tried taking the battery out, although I don't know what difference this would make, and still got a problem.
    If I was to buy a replacement tracker ball, would it make any difference, or have I damaged something inside?
    Last time I'll use the phone whilst stealing a greasy roast potato out of the oven!

    You can try using a Q-tip/cotton swab that's been dampened (not soaked) with alcohol and, as you spin the trackball in all directions, make sure the swab remains in contact with the ball.  By doing this, you'll at least be cleaning off the trackball of your greasy mess, and hopefully removing other gunk around/beneath it.  Again, try not to get any alcohol on the casing (so your shiny finish stays shiny), which is why I say squeeze the swab of its extra alcohol so that it's just damp, not soaking in it or dripping with it. 
    If that doesn't work for you, then your next bet would be to pop out the trackball (carefully) and clean the area.  Here's a site that explains how to do it:

  • HT2845 why doesn't my mighty mouse track ball scroll up or down vertically?

    why doesn't my mighty mouse track ball scroll up or down vertically?

    Hi:
    New ones are not that expensive, but I would try running it up and down (vigorously) on microfiber cloth or a towel or something.
    If that does not fix it...yes I would buy a new one.  I like wireless ones anyway

  • Track ball

    How do I change the color of my track ball?

    you can only if you have the 8100 model (not 8300, note 8110). There is a third pary application you have to buy for that.
    the other solution is to buy another pearl for example on cnn.cn .
