I've been trawling the internet looking for advice but I can't find it...so thought I'd seek help from any techies here.
I can't move the "roller" on my phone. I can move it to the apps, send texts, emails etc, but if I log onto Fab for example the arrow stays in the margins and doesn't move. Well it moves up and down in the margin but doesn't move left or right!
Help!!!! |

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |
Mine sticks sometimes too - iit's just a case of pressing the ball in and jiggling it around until it "releases" your dead skin that has accumulated round the back of it....
6 months until I can upgrade to the non-trackball version... |

Any form of rollerball on a mouse, phone etc gather dust and fibre fragmnents (and dead skin I guess) and over time it builds up on the wheel or underneath it. Also, there are two sensors that track vertical and horizontal movement. These sensors sometimes build up a layer of grime and need to be cleaned. It's a relatively simple process for cleaning them and all the need is a very small screwdriver (or just unclip it if it's a phone) and a tissue. Give everything a clean and put it all back together. |

Ok, for the benefit of those technically-challenged among us (ie. gurls) here's what you do:
Take phone to shop
Tell man, "the rolling-thingy-wotsit isn't doing it's rolling-thingy-wotsit thing"
Flutter eyelids
