Mods, can one of you edit his post if he does not, so to take out the repeat of my pics in his post. |
I must say, as a lurker on this site for awhile... this is one of those post that a mod should stick. Nice write up SF, very very nice.
|
Cool photos.
Not yet ready to do the mod. But this post would also be useful to clean the trackball rollers (when it gets dirty). |
SF, you rock!
That is a sweet write up, and a great mod!!! I'm going to try it this weekend!! Thanks |

I wanted to get it posted before the weekend since I figured many people would want to try it as a weekend project. |
By the way, I'll answer questions about the camera, theme, etc. as soon as Canonbomb edits his post to remove my pics from his quote, which is cluttering up this thread. :x

While we wait for the clutterbomb to clean up his mess, can you tell me how long it took for you to actually take out the trackball and put it back together ? wanted to get a feel for how long the entire process took ya.
Did I mention your write up ROCKS !!!! Thanks |

Now I can do it in about 5 minutes. So plan an hour just to be safe. You mostly do not want to force or push anything. If you do, that means things are not lined up. Lined up everything comes apart and reassembles with ease. Also, if you put little reference marks, that saves a lot of time. That chrome ring is confusing because there are about four notches that look like the one that should be right above the #2 key. |
Those are exceptional pics and a nice write-up along with them.

Brilliant!! It took me about 5 minutes to execute the procedure thanks to your perfect instructions and pictures. I, for the first time in my life, am excited about having a blue ball.....In any case, the only advice i might give to first timers taking apart small parts is to do the following. Have all your instruments laid out ahead of time--the smaller the screwdriver and forceps the better. Lay down a clean white cloth to work on in case anything pops out on you, and if you are a cat owner like me I suggest you bar them from your work area till this is complete. Also, when working with small parts, especially with delicate prongs, NEVER NEVER apply force. If something is not coming in or out easily, stop and re-examine your alignments and positions and apply force gently. The marking of the placement pieces is essential and obviously comes from an experienced person, it saved me all worries about where things were supposed to be. I also chose the blue color, and its simply fabulous with the black and silver colors of the pearl, hats off to San Francisco for a terrific idea, perfect instructions and the best assembly pictures I've seen on a post ever. Thank you, and once I get my black piel frama case next week Im going to be in hog heaven. To hell with windows mobile crap, this bberry is the best thing thats happened to an old ppc and windows smartphone hacker in ages. Since I still consult for them I have to show up to work with my tmobile dash, which isnt half bad, but the 8100 is a sheer pleasure compared to all the work I need to do on the dash to get it to do the things it ought to do all by itself.

I don't set up any special lighting, although I can. But I do turn on two 200 watt and two 100 watt incandescent bulbs in the computer area. It ends up being bright, but not as bright as it should be for closeups. |
how about your theme SF ?
|
Sry about cluttering up the thread. That wasnt my intention. I was gone all day and just got back to my comp now. Thanks John for taking care of the problem for me. Once again really sorry for the inconvenience.
