Replacing Trackball Optical Sensor
« on: June 04, 2013, 12:25:10 pm »
Hello!!

I think one of my trackball optical sensors screwed up. Do you have a way to troubleshoot it so it can be repaired or I just need to buy another optical board?.

Ohh btw. Its a betson 3" imperial trackball.

You can check if the IR LEDs are working by using a digital camera/cell phone camera since the CCD can "see" into the IR spectrum.
