Pearl 9105 - Trackpad scrolls but will not select... Help Please

On Wednesday this week, it was pouring with rain and my jeans got soaked right through and the BB 9105 was in front jean pocket. Later that day, the select function of the trackpad (ie pressing down to select something) stopped working. I assumed it was water damage as devices these days are sensitive to anything. The timing of it all made sense. I waited until Saturday (today) and there was no change.
I am a student, so buying an old replacement phone wasnt an option, I need that phone so I went to a high street phone repair shop who put a new trackpad in I think, or tightened it up (I dont know exactly). I thought this would be the end of my problems. This cost £25 to get fixed. Bottom line is, it was fixed, the trackpad worked perfectly. I asked the guy at the shop what was wrong with it, he didnt know, so I asked if he thought it was water damage and he said he found no sign of it but said it can be difficult to see. So, about 3 hours ago I upgraded to the V6 of the software. As of 15 minutes ago, the same problem has started with the trackpad. The shop is closed tomorrow where I got the phone fixed and from Mon-Fri I work rubbish hours for my summer job (I get up at 6am and am home at 7pm) meaning I can't visit the shop nor can I get anyone else I know to until next Saturday. I can barely afford to pay another £25 for the problem to get re-fixed and am guessing the warranty has been invalidated because of it being tampered with to get fixed.
I just don't know what to do next, I've tried posting on other forms with BB sections but have had no responses yet. Please if you can give me any advice with regards to warranty, or how I can solve the trackpad problem without paying a large amount of cash it would be really appreciated.
Sorry if I've gone on a bit, but I do appreciate you reading my thread.
Solved!

I don't want to get into an issue with you here. Having the phone in your pocket when it rains, and dropping your phone in the toilet or bath, or water in general are two different things. I wouldnt be on here if the latter happened because it would be my fault entirely, but if a mobile phone cant handle every day use then I think the manufacturer is to blame. Either that or I buy a rain jacket for my phone

    My track pad scrolls but will not click any ideas ?

    If when pushing down neaer the bottom of the trackpad you can't get it to click and you don't hear an audible sound and feel it click then the trackpad has something stuck under it or it has failed. You'll need to take it in to an Apple store to have the trackpad replaced or removed and cleaned if that is possible.

    What online service did you download the movie from? If it wasn't iTunes, you probably can't play it in iTunes (and iCloud doesn't store movies in either case).

  • OSX 10.6 Will Not Startup - Help Please!

    OK. I am running Snow Leopard (latest version) which was all working wonderfully until I installed a T-mobile dongle. Since restarting the system after installing the dongle the OS will not start. It gets to the screen where the Apple logo appears and the spinning cog but remains in that state permanant.
    So far I have tried the following:
    Reset RAM
    Tried to start in safe mode
    Started with install disc and used diskutility to check disk. All was fine
    Fixed permissions
    Now I know this problem is something to with the software the T-mobile dongle has installed. Is there any way of removing without loading the OS via termianl or something (I would need detailed instructions).
    Or is there anything else I can try failing archive and reinstall which is my very last resort.
    Thanks everybody.
    Stefan

    Hi Stefan2908;
    You might be able to remove the T-Mobile crap if you have access to another Mac and boot your Mac in Target Disk Mode with the two Mac connected via Firewire. That should give you access to the disk in your Mac from the other Mac.

  • I have connected a company iPhone to iTunes and it will not sync, help please!

    My company have several iPhones which are setup through the same iTunes account but when you connect them to the pc it will not sync. I need to update them and load the latest software as they are still running on very old software. Help would be much appreciated!

    Is this the computer to which they normally sync?  If not... save yourself some hassle.
    iDevices are designed to sync to only one computer/library.  Attempts to sync to another computer/library will wipe all content.  Upgrading the device requires a backup prior to the update which will remove all content if this is not the computer they normally sync with.

  • Error when starting iTunes... will not start. help please!!

    so earlier I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and was having trouble installing it. I downloaded it a while ago when it was version 4 but I completely deleted it and installed version 7.
    eventually I got it to work, however when I went to start it I got an error saying that it encountered a problem and needs to close. then another one comes up saying that it generated problems and I need to restart the program. I did, and the same thing happened.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the entire thing 3 times; same error. I called Apple Support and they said they couldn't help me b/c I am operating in Windows XP, and Microsoft's support is closed right now. I tried repairing it and nothing works. can anyone help please??

    hmmmm. okay, if your itunes.exe is running continually in Task Manager, that suggests that you don't have the Qoologic problem that Ewido fixes. (with that one, the itunes.exe typically just shows up for a few seconds, if at all ... although in some cases of multiple malware infections, it hangs around for 10 to 30 seconds.)
    so let's check on the usual suspects when itunes.exe persists in Task Manager.
    if you've got Norton Internet Security 2005, try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
    Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
    ... but if you don't have NIS 2005, or it doesn't seem to work for you, let's also check up on this possibility:

  • Can not install windows 7 pro using boot camp as mouse and keyboard will not work Help please

    I have a new iMac and trying to install Windows 7 Pro using boot camp. I have reached the stage of starting to load windows from the DVD then discovered the mouse and the keyboards not working so I could not interact with windows installation.

    Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
    Format the partition as NTFS.

  • Garageband will not install, Help, Please!

    Where does the App store download files to?
    I am having loads of problems with App store on my iMac running 10.6.7, my MacBook is fine and working as it should, but my iMac is a total disaster. It started with Update buttons appearing on the Purchases tab, which you cannot update because of the "log into the account" error and I tried all the methods outlined on the forum, none of which worked. I ended up trashing the offending apps and re-installing them. My only problem now is Garageband. It has gone. Every time I open the App store it asks me to install it, which I do, waiting 5 minutes sometimes whilst it downloads. Then nothing, it just won't install. Is there any files I should delete from the old install? It has me stumped. Any ideas?

    Try a Spotlight search for Garageband. If it appears under Applications double click on it to start it, close the intro page, then on the top menu click on Garageband and then About and see what version it is.
    The download you get when you are notified of a software update is a delta update as it only includes what is needed to move you from 10.6.6 to 10.6.7. The combo update contains all of the updates since the start, hence it can move you from 10.6.0 to 10.6.7, or anything in between. It is also why it is much larger than a delta update file. To my knowledge it does not contain any new updates for Garageband or anything else. It is always a good thing to try if you have problems after an OS update and some people will only manually install the combo update.
    You might also want to try booting from your OS X disk and repairing permissions on your disk (there are also many different opinions on this, but it won't hurt anything).
    Let us know how you get on.
