Did you try swapping the axis wires to see if you can isolate the problem to either a bad optic board or a broken wire in the harness?  I picked up a brand new Happ trackball not long ago, and mine was doing the same thing.  It turned out to be a broken wire in the harness that I didn't notice until I looked over all the wires very carefully.

If you swap the axis wires and the problem stays on the x-axis, then that could indicate a bad x-axis optic board.  If the problem moves to the y-axis, then you could have a bad wire in the t'ball harness.
