    My trackball was rolling around and working before (but I can’t press it down anymore, that stopped working.) Now the trackball won’t roll around at all after this whole process. I have to learn how to put the white screws back around the trackball. Please help !

    1 day old TP2 and having some adjustment shock. I will seem completely thru this site, nevertheless it is so various from my q and my palm 800 which were both largely the exact same. At this time the only point I really understand is tips on how to access net ( which is why I bought it ) Producing calls recieving messages is harder, moving pictures to TP@ so I can use it like a viewer seems impossible. I can move them but i want them to become effortlessly found about the device. Finding out curve I hope is all.
