Hi,
Which version did you have? I have two ver.4 and one ver 5. Both of the
ver 4's I have for over two years no problems, the only thing I have ever
heard going wrong with the trackball is the little micro switch, but this is
after 5 years of use. Did you take it apart to clean it? What did it do or
not do?
