Hi there, I own a 8900 and want to change the trackball and the housing.

I know what bits I want-

Opening tools

Red trackball

Black housing

But where should I get it from? Any websites to reccomend? Thanks.

Well I went for the cheapest option and delivery was prob 2 weeks or so, if you pay more then it'll come in a few days

Could try cnn.cn as well...based in Hong Kong but ive heard good things about them.

Be aware though that modding your bb will void your warranty unless you can get that small sticker off one of the screws without damaging it

What BB is it??...the trackballs on the BB's do get dirty...my Bold sometimes doesnt scroll properly left or right so i just give it a wipe with a cloth and it works then.

Thankfully ive now got the 9700 Bold2 which no longer has the trackball but a trackpad so long gone are those trackball issues \o/

Try putting some aftershave on ur finger then moving the trackball around, someone suggested that to me when my trackball was a little weird.

My trackball still is no-where near what its like when it was new. I dropped it once and the middle bit came out so dont think that helped either. Hence why I want to change the trackball and my housing is scratched to hell too!

Heres my blacked out 9000, all housing bought from SW-BOX

Would recommend getting the trackball from elsewhere as mine from SW-BOX was pretty poor, though if you have a 8900 the trackball is already black so meh.
