PS3 SCROLLS DOWN AND WONT SCROLL UP!!

When trying to choose an option it keeps scrolling all the way down to the last option. if u try to go up and just takes u back down again. Same here. I am also having odd PS button issues with my main controller, a DS3. Thinking the controller was sending a bad signal, I unplugged it's battery, but the original SIXAXIS still locks the system into a downward/rightward scroll. The BT remote does not have this problem.

I have face the the same problem with my ps2 conttroler. In my case it was the problem with the analog (the sticks). May be the spring of your left analog is broken is broken. Do not try to open it yourself and fix, it can disturb the wiring of the remote. Take it to your local ps repair shop or you will have to buy a new one

    My blackberry scroll bar is malfunctioning - sometimes I cannot get it to scroll up and down only scrolls side to side.

    You can try removing the scroll ball and cleaning it, that could be the reason why it wont scroll up and down.

    PS3 SCROLLS DOWN AND WONT SCROLL UP!!

    This kind of thing happened quite a bit on older gaming systems if the joy stick was tilted while booting. If this still happens when you leave the controller sitting on a flat surface while booting, the joy stick sensor may be a bit stuck - usually you can solve this by clicking down on the left stick and or moving it somewhat violently for a few seconds. If that doesn't do it try a silicon based lubricant, wet a section of cloth with it and then wipe it on the exposed based of the joy stick - move it around a bit to get it inside and try it then.

    Scroll bar on the right side of my touch pad scrolls too fast how do i slow it down

    It depends, do you know if there is an icon down in the taskbar near the clock that has options for your mouse, if there is then you would double click that and there should be options in there.
