Alexkolling said: hi i have the bb 9300 and i tried the cardboard trick however if you put the cardboard inbetween the sim and the battery does it break your blackberry??
dynastyzeec said: it just worked for me too on my 8520. so happy. God bless you all
Someone said: Worked well!! saves us all time and money
Someone said: my BB Curve 8520 sensor is not working..and it just worked..i put a piece of small cardboard between the metal plat and the battery just now..unbelieveable..and thank's a lot yahh!! >,
Someone said: i have a blackberry curve 9300 and the trackpad didnt work, i used the trick with the bit of paper and it worked for a while but it doesnt anymore! ive used different thicknesses of paper but nothing works
Someone said: yeah this worked. you RULE
Someone said: It don't work?!
Someone said: didnt work and i have litterally tried all these tips on all these websites, fs.
Someone said: worked for me! Take out battery, place piece of paper over sim card (no need to remove or mess with card), put battery back in and back on. voila! If it doesn't work the first time, try progressively thicker paper, or fold for more thickness.
Someone said: Haha!! It worked! Thankyou sooo much :D
Who ever thought of this is a GENIUS!
Someone said: Hi, I didnt beieve this could solve, but it seems it did for me too :) cant believe, for over an year am having problems with it and such an easy solution! Thank you :)
Someone said: poi
Someone said: Fantastic advice ..cheers
Someone said: i have the new bb torch where is the metal plate???
Someone said: LOOOOOL i cant believe this actually worked.. i was shocked tbh..didnt think it would work at all :D
Someone said: OMG OMG!! It worked for me, for the ones who want loads of details: Open the back; remove the battery; you will see the sim card inserted, don't remove it, just put a small piece of paper (I used a piece of napkin sim card size), put the battery back, the phone will turn on automatically and that's it, it worked for me, thanks again masters!
Someone said: using pad(between battery SIM sothat cover metal portion completely) is really working.

juliarenfro said: This is incredible, I can't believe it worked. THANK YOU!!!! What is the theory on this quick fix, doesn't make a bit of sense to me.
Someone said: I had the same problem and discovered that the reason it wasn't working is because something is not making enough contact in order to allow the track sensor to work appropriately. I then saw that by adding some pressure to the back of the battery after removing the cover fixed the issue. Initially I place a paperclip between the back cover and battery. It worked. I've moved on to a piece of thin foam between the cover and the battery. I'm getting a new phone in a couple of months and didn't feel like spending money to fix something like this. If your track sensor isn't working remove the cover and press the battery in and check to see if the sensor then works. If this fixes the issue then just do what I did or what some of the people above are doing. Quite simple. :)
Someone said: doesn't pissing work man
Someone said: turn the device off, take the battery out, press the track pad quite hard and clean over and around the top with a soft cloth pressing as you go. There dust and muck behind the pad - you just need to dislodge it safely with pressure and cleaning motion of cloth. This infomation gleaned directly from a RIM trainer.
Someone said: yeh this worked , thanks a lot :-))
