Blackberry 8520 8530 Trackpad Fix

[pritirekhagogoi]

wonderful vid! my 2yr old blackberry curve was lying useless for d last 6 months coz of trackball probs. but now its fully functional!! thnx a ton :)

[cklogs]

Yes this should help

[joshfig96]

my trackpad doesnt navigate but it clicks does this work to fix?

[ithi69]

Thx ALOT! Worked for me. Just folded a small piece of paper to add pressure to the back of the battery, although the back lid dosent close, adding a silicone case does keep it down. Works Great! Thanks!

[kositchek]

The goal is to get the battery to press against that plate, pushing it in so contact is made in the back of the trackpad. This can be done without removing the plate at all. Tape something to the back of the battery that presses the plate in when in place. Or a small dab of expoxy, I used JB Weld, on the plate just above where the sim card rests, which will press the plate inward when the battery is against it.

@kositchek

Thanks for the update, this is what makes youtube great positive people working together and no egos. Thanks again.

[PhantomX786]

Some one please tell me how i can tighten the track pad it feels loose n wobbly not tooo wobbly but anoying i want to tighten it plz help thank you

[XPrototype96]

@PhantomX786 i think mine has the sme problem, like it moves back and forth ALOT and is annoying whe im useing it?

[cklogs]

@PhantomX786

If it moving from side to side it could be damage housing. I would try to remove it and see if it sits better in the housing once you put it back together.

[sheksiraj]

nice superman music

[cklogs]

Glad this trick has help out everybody.

[dnaiellegroom1991]

thank you so much for the advice. i stuck some card to the outside of the metal, pushed my battery in and it worked a charm :)

[CrushnCo]

lol i fixed it by just pressing down on the that silver plate part closest to the trackpad with my sim on it already it seemed to have pushed the silver plate down more making the sim card add more pressure to the trackpad sensor, wooot!

[a11ie65]

Fixed my daughters phone, didn't even open the cover. Put the tape on the outside and it still worked. Excellent video - T H A N K  Y O U :-))

[yasturex]

Thanks. Enabled me to fix my daughter´s phone. Very easy to do as long as you have the correct screwdriver. Added a couple of layers of masking tape to the back of the metal cover as suggested to add extra pressure on the trackpad´s connector.

[nosekkk]

Thanks to your video I could fix my brother's phone, thanks.

[doctor1233]

hey buddy..am a new user of BB..i have got curve 8520..its working fine...problem is that my trackpad is moving...i mean it's not fixed to its position...but its working great..i just wanna fix the moving trackpad problem..please tell me how to fix it..

[SHLO114]

The thing is though, it's not only my trackpad... it's also the keypad and all the other dedicated keys around the cell that just stopped working. At first the A and S keys were sticking and now the entire phone isn't working but when I pull the battery out and put it in again it would boot up as usual and the homescreen would appear but still no keys would function...Is it salvageable? Do you think you may know what could be the issues with why it refuses to function? (Much thanks for any help)

[cklogs]

@SHLO114

Sounds like there is liquid damage on the phone.

[SHLO114]

you make me feel like I can fix my cell on my own! Should I try or give? Is it easy enough for a novice to do? Or should I pay money to get it repaired?

[cklogs]

@SHLO114

Try it its very simple and post back if you have any trouble, I try to help.

[cklogs]

@112Clarkey112

Trackpad flex cover

[undereaper]

[cklogs]

@undereaper

[pisicologo12]

¿Que es trackpad flex conector?

[cklogs]

@pisicologo12

la parte es la connection del tracpad al telefono

[pixiemegz]

what would you use for padding

[cklogs]

@pixiemegz

corner of a business card will work

[kvothug]

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

[CrudTalk011]

Does this work if your trackpad is scrolling but not clicking??

[cklogs]

@CrudTalk011

No sorry it will not help for no clicking, you will need to replace the trackpad

[CrudTalk011]

@cklogs Ok thanks for that so if I replace the trackpad it will start clicking again?

[cklogs]

@CrudTalk011

yes if it does not click a new trackpad should solve it.

[cklogs]

@CrudTalk011

yes



[julieren0708]

thank you soo much



[LittleJacobNL]

what is the music name?

[cklogs]

@LittleJacobNL

Not sure on music name. Its from starterk the old TV Show

[cklogs]

@LittleJacobNL

not sure

[MrSpywhite]

thanks, this seems to have helped.

[mecca1969]

Nice one, did the trick like others have stated. Thnx!

[snake890217]

Nice fix. Especially if you're out of warranty, you've got nothing to lose. I'm still trying to think what to put there, but the 3 mins it takes isn't a big deal to do a few times til i get a new phone.

[MrRishabh23]

Thnx dude it really worked with BB Curve :)

[karateboyism]

MONYET NI VIDEO

[haynesalexis]

great viedo but the music was super weird lol

[jorilim]

Does it works in 9300?

[cklogs]

@jorilim

I think blackberry fix the trouble by the time that model came out.

[metallicalivee]

yes it worked! really happy now thanks

[kenypcm]

THAKS U MEN!!! I DONT KNOW WHY I BOUGHT A NEW TRAKPAD FROM EBAY..:O

[ArCxlioN]

just put a tiny piece of business card between the metal sheet and the sim card and that has given the pressure it needed. works perfectly now...crazy...

[JKE2302]

1:33 ... awkwardness ...

[amandakkendrick]

Since I didn't have any of those tools, and was nervous to take my phone apart, I tried to place the extra padding on the outside of the plate but in the same place and it worked! Essentially, take out battery and sim, you will see a little black square right there on the silver plate. Put something little there, something that will stay put. When you slide the sim back in it will press the object you inserted down, thus creating the pressure on the pad that you need. no need to unscrew!

[cklogs]

@amandakkendrick

Thank you, people like you and me is what makes the web and youtube great. We share what we find out to help others. Thanks again.

[krayere]

@amandakkendrick hey could you post a pic of where exactly do you put the 'something...' i am kinda confused. and my trackpad is dead! it only works when i use some other material like cloth on it!

[AdieHunter]

@amandakkendrick what should i put in?!

[thegadgetman0]

Thanks bud !!

After buying a new trackpad and still having a problem, i found your video and it now works perfect..

[MrPita607]

[MrMegafifa]

[NROD2212]

[cklogs]

What model do you have?

[vhero091]

ok someone please respond because im really need some help my blackberry trackpad wont work and my phone is sprint so it look totally different from the one in the video, how can i make it work without losing anything?? any reply would be helpful thanks!

[cklogs]

I am glad everybody is having good luck with the trick.

[jomatw91]

Thanks this helped ALOT and saved me some cash, the stores woulda wanted to change the trackpad n what not then sometimes some stupid technitians steal good parts n then replace it with bad parts and still wants to charge and arm and a leg just to fix one simple thing lol.. But thanks it worked fine.. so far.. I used double sided tape, and it seems to work perfect

[jomatw91]

@iLoveJonasAndBieber just grap a small plyers n pull it out lol.. my fingers were to big to grab it after i unscrewed it lol so i used a small pair of plyers..

[reikicuracionchakras]

it worked perfectly!!!! thank you so muchhhh :)

[elaymarie09]

what padding do you use?



[cklogs]

@elaymarie09

i use a thin double sided tape. anything will work as long as it 1mm thick. Some people use the edge of a business card.

[lilridda21]

mine works after i throw it and i tryed what you did with the tape and no luck ...im thinking its the pad itsself

[tuesdaysgone77]

tongue punch my fart box it works

[ezeeduardo669]

does this work cuz my touchpad work for the button but not for movement

[MrRaMPageZz]

what shall i pad it down with ??

[cklogs]

@MrRaMPageZz

any type of small thin foam. I use 2 strips of double sided tape on top of each other.

[cklogs]

inside underneath the metal to put pressure on the top of the trackpad.

[thamightymoose]

Does the padding go inside the metal casing between the track ball and black thingy or onthe outside of the casing. ie: under the sim card, cos i cant get either to work. or is it on top of the trackball connector@cklogs

[cklogs]

@thamightymoose

inside underneath the metal to put pressure on the top of the trackpad.

[uuusmar]

@thamightymoose The video says to put pressure on the connector, not the top of the trackpad itself. Which makes sense assuming that in the video when the guy scratches "X"s across part of the metal cover at 0:47 and 0:59 what he's doing is marking the padding/tape....it's on the edge of the metal cover, NOT over the round plastic backing that the trackpad touches when you push it straight down ("click" it).

[asrladysxm]

omg thanks so much i wasent going to pay 30$ just for that

[jamalyousaf123]

r u super man loool jke



[Liopo23]

it works!! Thanx

[charleykitty]

Hi, nothing seems to be working for me whatever I try, is there another reason the trackpad wouldnt work? I can click but nothing else :( Thank you.

[cklogs]

@charleykitty

It could also be a bad board from blackberry. I have seen alot on the 8520 white color from t-mobile.

[TheJoshu999]

I brought a new track pad even used that but it still dont work please i really need help

Thanks

[cklogs]

@TheJoshu999

It could also be a bad board from blackberry. I have seen alot on the 8520 white color from t-mobile.

[TheJoshu999]

@TheJoshu999 Yeeep it is that, going to cost me £25 to fix it "/

[shakycoma25]

cklogs.... You're the man. Here recently, my Blackberry 8520 trackpad has been acting up. I was hoping to find a fix and you definitely presented just that. I'm so happy because it was really annoying not being able to use the trackpad. THANKS ALOT!

[skippertee51]

this was very helpful. thnk u!! :D

[TheDylanSw]

@pinterpan i watched neither



[TheDylanSw]

@pinterpan either way...

[ISGsneakerhead95]

i need help my blackberry is trackpad is dumb and isnt moving or clicking were would i place the corner of the buisness card and tape?

[cklogs]

@ISGsneakerhead95

on the metal plate to put pressure on the track pad

[JobanDhear2K8]

may i ask what you used for the evtra padding?

[cklogs]

@JobanDhear2K8

Just a corner of a business card and a little tape on back side to keep it in place

[lonejune]

i just press it down as hard as i can

[cklogs]

Try unplugging it from the board and plugging it back in. Forward the video just at the last step lightly pry up on the ribbon to remove it. Yours might be a bad trackpad.

[heavymetalfan1000]

my trackpad is frozen i can still click but i cant move it is ther any other way? pls its really annoying

[hdez1112]

@heavymetalfan1000 I have the same problem!!!

[hebakhalifa92]

[TheRolandaB]

OMGEE this helped me so much. I was just about to buy a new phone. Thank God for you & youtube. :) thanks again!

_TheRolandaB

[TheDylanSw]

who else felt like they were taking off in a star wars movie because of the background music?

[pinterpan]

@TheDylanSw you mean "Star Trek" right?

[ProGammer360]

where i could find a t6 ?

[cklogs]

@ProGammer360

Radio Shack or Sears are the best places. Most hardware stores will have it also. As a last resort try ebay.

[cklogs]

I am glad this is working for everybody, please hit the like button.

[suckajas]

omg this was a life saver!!! i used a few pieces of paper bag it worked<3

[Kaychubb]

Good on ya mate works like a charm!

[WebbzProdz]

cheers for this tip.. i used paper to do it :)

[jacklancasterbmx]

will blue tack work ????????

[WebbzProdz]

@jacklancasterbmx

highly doubt it because it will for around the piece.. jst cut sum pieces of paper really small n put 1/2 pieces in experiment then try 3 etc etc...

[anaeish]

hello I've had so many problems with my trackpad.. I've open it a lot of times (every time the trackpad had problems working) and I've always got a good result after. But this time I opened it and it won't work again... So I bought a new trackpad, because I thought that was the problem, I've replaced it but it still won't work. The worse part is that I tried my old trackpad onto a different phone and it worked just fine.. So can anyone tell me what else could be the problem??

[SickoReaper]

My 8520 trackpad is a little wobbly, but i still dont know where you have to add extra padding, i think i did everything right but it was still loose, suggestions?

[cklogs]

@SickoReaper

Put the padding between the back of the track pad tab and the metal housing, let me know if I can be of any more help

[SickoReaper]

@cklogs

I tried to do it with some paper but then i couldn't press the trackpad button.

I have sent you a messange with a picture of it so if you could take closer look i would be really grateful.

Thanks again.

[cklogs]

@SickoReaper

Did you get the picture I sent back?

[SickoReaper]

@cklogs Not yet, have you sent a message with it?

[Thejoecross]

@cklogs water got into my blackberry but after drying it everything works fine but mine trackpad will not move. can u help?

[cklogs]

@Thejoecross

I would pull the trackpad out and clean where it connects to the board. Use the same instruction as about, but pop the clip off where I say to put the padding on and clean it there. Could have corrosion.

[Thejoecross]

@cklogs thanks but my blackberry is curve 3g 9300 don't know how to pull the trackpad out

[sebi0147]

@cklogs thanks for ur answer. do I have to lift the metal cover, add additional padding, increase pressure on trackpad flex connector making sure it is plugged in all the way and that's it? Like the video shows? Or do I have to REMOVE and reinstal the trackpad which is not shown on the video?

I dont want to ruin my trackpad

Thanks!!!

[sebi0147]

hi my trackpad works good but it is quite depressed like sunk will this fix it?

please answer @cklogs thanks

[cklogs]

@sebi0147

try just to remove the track pad and reinsert it, that should fix the sunken trouble. Use same directions.

[xSalmaxNxJonasx]

will this work if liquid damage cause the trackpad to stop moving?

[cklogs]

@xSalmaxNxJonasx

No on the liquid damage

[ManUtd2k8autum]

@cklogs My problem is, whenever I'm scrolling down, suddenly it will just scroll upwards loads, what is wrong with my trackpad?

[MrSmileysmiles]

my Blackberry trackpad wont go to the right would i have to buy a new trackpad to put in the phone and do what you did?

[cklogs]

@MrSmileysmiles

Yes if it only goes one direction it sounds like you need a new trackpad. I have not heard about this trouble on the 9700 only the 8520,8530 good luck

[MrSmileysmiles]

will this work for the bold 9700

[TheVargasyendwi123]

I have a problem where when every I turn it on it freezes does anyone now what the problem is

[cklogs]

@TheVargasyendwi123

Try to plug it into desktop manager and see if that fixes it. Also remove the memory card and see if it makes a differents.

[kevinwolfs]

BB fixed thanks!!!!!

[alb3rtx]

i have the same phone my trackpad is mess up it only clicks but dont scroll does anyone know what the problem could be?

[cklogs]

@alb3rtx

[gitter46]

@cklogs yes i am having the exact same problem!! yes when i click it opens the program the cursor is on which for me is bbm but it wont scroll!! everything else is fine such as everyother key and screen and everything its just the scrolling!

[TheJabarkhel]

[cklogs]

@TheJabarkhel

Yes try this trick,

[cklogs]

Sorry, I have not mess with that phone yet.

[DDpowerfunk]

I am habving the exact same problem witha BB curve 9300

do you know how I can fix it? there is no metal cover under the SIM card, the back of the phone seems to be different. thanks!

[xBaflapHD]

does anyone know why my trackpad on my blackberry goes,

because if I scroll up it feels like I've pushed too hard or something

[cklogs]

It the intro theme from Star Trek, not sure the name. Glad it worked.

[CrossDevai]

i ll like to know the music please... btw THANKS FOR THE VIDEO I USE IT =)

[cklogs]

If it gets hot, check for water damage. Take the phone apart and look under the keypad for any water.

[sandro94]

my trackpad is gettin hot when i put my bb on, some1 knows why?

and trackpad is not working only the click

[arturop095]

@sandro94 im having the same exact problem...

[kathy330]

great vid! thanks so much, it fixed my problem!! i ripped a small piece of facial tissue, folded it and used it as padding, and now my trackpad works like brand new!! :)

[cklogs]

fishthejelly- if you have a 8520 there has been trouble with boards. When you take the battery out and put it back in dose it work for a while than stop?

doubletap85- sounds like you got more trouble than the trackball. I would check for water damage.

[doubletap85]

See, with mine I can click but have absolutely no movement with the track pad. And my I key is dead.

[fishthejelly]

I tried but my trackpad still doesnt work. it doesnt move left right up or down, and it does not click either. help ?

[Hollandsebrasileira]

I tried it, but it doesn't fix my problem. My trackpad works, i can go left and right with it, but when i try to click on something it does nothing.. Do you might know what this might be? I hope you can help me.

[cklogs]

@Hollandsebrasileira

If you take the trackpad out of the phone and press on it does it click?

[tamimbro]

this really help a lot! thx bro GBU

[cklogs]

I use a thin double side tape and let the plastic on one side.

[chineseGRRL]

what kind of padding do u use
