Turn the device off, press firmly on the trackball and roll it down, repeat this step as much as needed. Most likely there's debris blocking it from rolling in that direction. This should help dislodge it.

You could try to remove the trackball and clean it. Do a search of the forums for trackball disassembly. It is a fairly easy and painless process.

Or follow the link Jadey posted

Or just buy a new one from PdaParts.com. $15, but you can find it cheaper. But, I like them, as I have never had any problems with them.
