A 8830, from Sprint.

I read the FAQs and took the ball out per those instructions. I haven't tried to clean the ball with alcohol because I am at work.

The down direction on the trackball doesn't work. When you roll it under normal pressure, you feel none of the little clicks, and it doesn't scroll. If I semi-depress the trackball, it works, sort of.

When I had it out for cleaning, I can see that the roller for the down movement does not roll when the ball itself is rolled.

The other directions of the ball work fine.

What gives? How can it be fixed.
