My Paper Strip Method for Cleaning BlackBerry Tour 9630 Trackball, Make Good as New!

I just completed a quick little tutorial demonstrating my paper strip method for cleaning the trackball of the BlackBerry Tour 9630. As many of you know, cleaning the trackball on the Tour can be difficult since you can't remove it from the device like on previous BlackBerrys. Well, I've come up with a pretty successful solution that can get your trackball working good as new again.

You can check out some testimonies on the CrackBerry.com forums if you like.

Please consider leaving a comment below or on YouTube if this method helped you.

Thanks!

DO NOT DO THIS!

Paper strip didn't fix anything on my trackball, and on the thrid attemt, ripped off under the trackball rendering my phone all but useless. This is a good way to really screw your phone up. Can't beleive the RIM site is linked to it.........:smileysad:
