My scroll button on my BB Bold doesn't work properly.
Up- and down is fine, as well as to the left.
However, to the right, it doesn't work anymore.
There is not "clicks" when I scroll the button although the whell itself moves to the right.

Any ideas what to do?
Can I change the sensitivity of teh scroll buttoin?

You can change the sensitivity: Options>Screen/Keyboard

Do you keep your phone in your pocket a lot? Sometimes trackballs malfunction due to lint and dust.

Yes, I have it in my pocket.

How can I get off the lint and dust?

You can do a search as this has been discussed many times over.

But ............ turn the device off. Press and hold the trackball and rotate in the direction that it doesn't work, then roll in all directions for a minute or so. That shoul dclean it. Turn the device on and see if it works.

You can also try pressing the ball and blowing some "canned" air all around it.

And you can take a q-tip dipped in alcohol (vodka also works, don't ask ....) and clean the ball.

And finally, get a pouch and don't carry it in your pocket!
