Trackball clicks not responding or double clicking sometimes

Hey guys, my 8900's trackball started acting funny lately. Sometimes when I click it does not register at all and I need to make a more deliberate click to register; or I press the trackball in and it double clicks.
My question is, if I purchase a trackball replacement should this fix the problem or is the problem more with the PCB board sensor? Rolling action in all directions is fine.

The problem is the trackball push-buton contact that sits underneath the trackball. It gets sticky and less efficient which causes the double-click affect. This contact isnt part of the trackball itself.
The good news is that the contact membrane (sometimes called the "dome") is replacable; is kinda an orangy film membrane sticker, and has a metal contact in the centre. Replacements are availble from ebay and other online stores.
There are youtube video guides that who youhow to replace the membrane - not all models are featured but the process is the same. You need to be confident in dissassembling your BB to get to the contact though.
I replaced mine on the my BB bold - problem solved.

  • Installer for Adobe AIR does not respond when double-clicked?

    I tried to install Adobe AIR on my laptop (WinXP Professional, SP3), but the link at http://get.adobe.com/air/ didn't work - website said 'downloading' and to click OK when prompted, but I never got prompted.
    So I found an alternate site, downloaded the installer and double clicked to run it. Nothing happened. So I tried a couple more times before checking my Task Manager.
    Under 'Processes', there were several instances of the Adobe Air Installer.exe running, but nothing was happening that I could see!
    I'm not sure if it's a conflict with any other software or insufficient system requirements, but I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything wrongly, cos I managed to successfully install Adobe AIR on another laptop I have, also running WinXP, and got Tweetdeck to work on it.
    Would appreciate any help on this matter from the more enlightened.
    Thanks in advance!

    Are you sure that you don't have Private Browsing enabled when Firefox is opened? <br />
    Tools > Options > Privacy = '''Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session'''
    With that setting selected there is no (Private Browsing) showing in the Title bar.

  • After upgrading the iOS on my iPad2, it is running very slowly.  Screen taps are not responding very quickly and sometimes take multiple taps to initiate an action.  Should I have NOT upgraded, or is iOS 8.0 just awful?

    After upgrading to iOS 8.0 on my iPad 2, it is running very slowly and doesn't always respond to screen taps.  Is OS8 the problem?

    You aren't running a Classic operating system.    See this tip on the correct place to post:

    I second the advice of returning it and getting one that works.  You paid for a WORKING laptop and got a defective one.  That's what the return period is for so use it.  Let Toshiba deal with the problem instead of you.  If you have to send it in to get it repaird it could take you a couple of months to get it back and why should you have to go through that. 
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • My computer had to be shut down this morning when I could move my mouse around but it would not respond when I double clicked on an item to select.  Now I cannot open a file in my finder window by double clicking on it.  Any suggestions?

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

    hello
    The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when  I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • HT201412 I bought my I pad 3 2 days ago and the touchscreen buttons are not responding.  some voice is telling me to double click on the apps and then telling me what the app is!  I am not great with computers and so on - can anyone help???????  thanks!

    I bought an I Pad 3 2 days ago and updated to IOS 6 Software.  Was working fine until last night and now it is not responding to touchscreen but is instead a voice advising me to double click on my apps and then which explains them - like a tutorial.  Please help!

    Sounds like you have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
    If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

  • Running not responding. Went thru Start;run;typed in %APP etc;double click 'default' folder;what do I do now?

    My problem:- Firefox is running but is not responding.
    Gone thru the process as suggested and shown above. However when the "default" folder is opened an extensive list of 'profile' folders are shown. How do I correct the problem from this point?. eg Does one of these folders have to be manipulated in some way?

  • I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy.

    I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy. I was not able to restart, I was not able to switch users, I was not able to shut down. I decided to manually shut down my Mac.  when it booted back up I was looking at the disk utility screen. When I clicked on repair or race it indicated that my hard drive had already been arranged. I was looking at completely formatted drive and I was having to either restore from Time Machine or reinstall lion. I had a back up but why did this happen?

    A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.

  • I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap.

    I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse on my trackpad. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. The Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap. The problem starts when I log out of my main profile. I get to the login screen and my laptop stops responding to clicks. When I manage to make my way back to my main profile the mouse works perfectly.  Should I just delete the new profile and try again?

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

    when i click to open firefox it says that "firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." and I've tried to shut down and restart my computer but it keeps showing the same message. I've even uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled in the hopes that the problem would be solved but it this message is still popping up. What can I do to solve this problem?

  • V6.01, Windows 7, click on icon, "firefox is already running but not responding" Task manager doesn't know about it. I can't quit it or get it to load. Brand new install. What to do?

    Brand new Lenovo computer, Windows 7 Home. New install of Firefox 6.0.1, set as default browser, don't launch when I click done. Icon appears in tray. I click the icon, and a message says "firefox is running but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing process, or reboot". It's not obviously running. I can't find a way to make it quit. Task manager doesn't list it as a current application. Uninstall using the control panel uninstall function and then reinstalling gives the same message. Rebooting doesn't fix the problem and gives the same message. Firefox had been working until I tried to update my bookmarks.

    No can do. I can delete the current profile and install Firefox, which should create a new blank profile. The message still says "Firefox is already running." I can place my old profile in the proper folder, and Firefox will still be already running. I can't actually use Firefox, because even though the message says it is running, there is nothing on the screen I can access.
    After uninstalling Firefox, deleting the two items left in the Programs folder, and deleting the profile again, it still didn't work. I then got frisky and from the Roaming folder I deleted the Mozilla folder which contains the Firefox folder which contains the now empty Profiles folder. That worked, and a new set of folders with a new blank profile were created. So apparently it was the empty folders that never got deleted that were causing the issue.
    Thanks for your suggestion. It got me thinking.

  • Firefox is OPEN and working fine, but when I click a link in Thunderbird I get 'Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.'

    If I click a link on my desktop or in any other program (while Firefox is open and running), I get this message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." There's about a billion links for this if you Google it, but they all say that Firefox wasn't shut down properly. (OK, maybe not ALL of them, but if the needle is in that haystack, I haven't yet found it.) That's not the issue in my case since I haven't shut FF down at all.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == IDK

    This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote
