Trackball ball changeout?
« on: October 08, 2003, 12:41:12 pm »
Checked the FAQ and did a search, and nothing came up.

I ahve a highlip Happs trackball on the way, along with a translucent blue replacement trackball.

Anyone have instructions on how to pop a trackball apart to keep the rollers, bearings, and widgets from spilling out all over the place?

They're really easy to take apart.  Remove the screws, lift off the top half. Rollers and such just sit there, but they're big and you're not likely to have problems.
