In my case (Pearl) the PHYSICAL CLICK is missing. I can still "select" by pressing "in" on the ball, but that physical click isn't there anymore.
To be clear I'm talking about something that is non-electronic. That is to say that even if the power is off and the battery is out, every trackball should still have that physical "click" when you press it in. It's a phycial "spring" felling or something that physically pushed the track ball back up once depressed. This is what I'm talking about.
So will the removal and cleaning of this square copper film repair that physical resistance that you should get when you press the trackball down? Or is this just to fix the inability of the trackball to "select" whatever is on the screen at the time?
I'm interested in how to fix the physical click...that is now missing from my Pearl.

My Pearl wasn't making the physical 'click' and even though it may seem that there should be a 'spring' feeling there actually isn't one. All it takes to fix it is taking that clear tape piece off, cleaning it and the contact under it with a little rubbing alcohol, and the physical 'click' returns!
