The instructions are at your own risk. If you are not confident in your ability to clean the trackball and still have a warranty on the phone it may be better to call your carrier and get an exchange. Hope it helps.

You don't have to take it all apart but if there is lint wrap around the rollers you may have to.

Maybe you could try using a needle to pluck the lint out if you didn't want to disassemble it.

I'm struggling to get the back portion back on that the original write up says will take some work.

Anyone have any tips for that?

I'm running my pearl without the pearl at the moment

Thanks everyone!

Yeah I laughed as I was posting that comment.

Played with the assembly again last night, gave up and ordered a replacement from a local shop 20mi away on Ebay $10

That should get me through until I retire it for a BOLD
