Chances are it's clogged with dirt and other debris. I suggest using a Q-tip© lightly dipped in rubbing alcohol and run it around the ball and move the ball and just clean it off. That should help.

If not, the ball probably needs to be replaced

I can't scroll down with the rollerball

The balls on the blackberry's get clogged up with finger oil, skin, and all sorts of grime I think. But I fixed mine by shutting the phone down and then rubbing hard against the roll ball in each direction and pushing each time until the clicker under the roll ball clicked. You could also try alcohol.

My scroll ball won't allow me to scroll DOWN; I can scroll up, across right and left, but NOT down................

pop the silver ring off from around the ball and remove the ball assembly. Be careful cause the ring only has connections on three sides and you must start on the side without the "pins". just keep messing with it and it will come out. then clean the rollers up and make sure the flap connector on the bottom is clean and intact. That should do ya for now and should hold you for several weeks
pls rate this fix

The ball won't scroll down

Have you removed the ball at any time? If it is put back in wrong, it could cause this. If not, the ball assembly itself might be bad. You can find them fairly cheap on eBay.

Roller ball

All you have to do is take a sheet of paper with print on it. Take the battery out of you phone. Next do a figure eight motion with the ball side down on the phone about 10 times. There is something on the ink on the paper that will make this work again. good luck

The ball won't scroll down

Pop the ring around the track ball out with a small blade or your finger nail. Three double prongs hold it in place (bottom and both sides, none on top). Turn device over and gently tap the back. Track ball will release once ring is removed. At this point you can view the track ball and see exactely what is causing the block. Clean if needed with q-tip or remove lint/debris/etc... Just did this with my 8830. Working perfectly now. - {would not scroll down at all prior to}
