SOURCE: my blackberry trackpad is not

go to the blackberry website and get a phone number. Phone them up and ask if they know how to fix it and if they replace trackpads for your model. If that doesn't work search around on the internet, many sites will offer mobile parts quite cheap

The key pad wont work wen i type any thing on the screen everything is frozen i have tried removing the battery i cant access anything when i type but it still wont work my key pad i permanently lock for...

Try to insert any password in your phone 10 times to erase all your data and make your blackberry Tour 9630 unlocked. If your keypad still won't work after blackberry unlocking process, try to reflash your blackberry phone. Once again if still have same result, it should be a hardware problem in your phone and you need to repair that on nearest local mobile phone repair shop.

Mouse pad not working but miouse moves with external mouse

Hi try looking to see if the driver is installed properly (start, control panel, mouse and double click on it. A box will pop up, click on the hardware tab and then on properties it will either say this device is working properly or if not will give you option to update driver, which you should do, let it find best driver for you when it asks. If that doesn't work then try clicking on the device settings tab instead of hardware tab, then click on settings then click on defaults and then click ok. This should one way or another make the touch pad scroll work again.

The track pad on my bb curve8520 won't scroll the phone is only 3 month's old service provider told me to mail it back to bb. any solutions

First, download and install the latest version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager software from: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22&dl=DA5FB46338C8C0DCB1039F7898184FC5

Once installed, connect your BlackBerry to your computer via the USB sync cable. Open Desktop Manager, and click the Application Loader. On the right, you will see Update your device software. Click the Start Button, and if your BlackBerry is not on the latest Handheld Software, an update will appear. Select the update, and run the install. Be sure to select the option that backs up and restores your data. Once started, do not shut down your computer, or disconnect the USB sync cable as this could damage the device.

Once completed, your BlackBerry will restart and you will have the latest version available. This version has been known to correct various issues.

If the issue is still present, then it could be hardware related, and may need to be repaired or replaced. I would then suggest contacting your Service Provider again for Hardware Support.

Can not scroll on lap top pad

Is your pad scroll capable? Not all are. If it is, have you enabled it in the mouse settings via control panel? The default mode for some pads is non-scrolling and you have to manually enable this function. Also, some pads have small areas where the scroll works. Usually along the right and bottom edges of the pad. Anywhere else = no scroll.

Trackball on Blackberry Curve not working properly

I found that removing the track ball and cleaning the contact and track ball with a cotton swab moistened with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol, it worked a 100 percent better when I returned the ball to the handset. DO NOT SATURATE THE BALL OR THE HANDSET WITH THE ALCOHOL!! ONLY USE A VERY SMALL AMOUNT!!!!

Tranfer

you will have to unlock the phone if its not already....to do that, you will need to contact your service provider if you need to unlock the sim to use it with another carrier....it is free but it will take a few days to get the code back if they have tot contact the manufacterer....but you need the 16 diget code......after you get that, go to options, advanced options, sim card, type MEPPD. scroll to sim card, type MEP and pres the ALT key and then the 2 key.

if that doesnt work, instead of typing MEP2, try pressing and holding the ATL key and type MEPPE

if this works, a window will pop up asking for the unlock code....
