Re: trackball of 8520 keeps breaking

Hi.

BB8520`s trackpad fixing:

 

- try putting a peace of plastic or somemething (as thin as a sim card, more or less) in your battery, so it can touch exactely in that metal plate where u put the sim card, but only between that "step" in the metal plate and te metal thing that holds de sim card in place... (let´s say that the plastic thing u put should only touch the visible part of the SIM card when in place!)

 

The problem is people think that the trackpad itself is not tight enough, but it aint that! the problem is that the metal plate (that has a screw) MUST touch a golden line in the phone`s board (a line tha acompains te plate`s surrounding)....and when it doesn`t the track wont work!

 

Mind my english... I`m portuguese! :smileytongue:
