Try removing the silver cover around the scroll ball, and remove the ball. There should be a little white square underneath it. If there is no white square, but a red square, then it could be water damage. I had the same issue with mine.

You probably have dust in it. You need to clean it.
Take it to a service center and they will have it cleaned.

I can't scroll down with the rollerball

The balls on the blackberry's get clogged up with finger oil, skin, and all sorts of grime I think. But I fixed mine by shutting the phone down and then rubbing hard against the roll ball in each direction and pushing each time until the clicker under the roll ball clicked. You could also try alcohol.

I have dropped my blackberry a few times and the rollerball had fallen out, now it doesn't want to scroll to the left and to the right it's hard as well

it sounds like your trackball is dirty the wheels on the inside of the blackberry are gunked up!

at some cases, the problem can be fixed by putting a thin layer of alcohol on your clean fingertip and rolling it in different motions on your blackberry, or if not you can go on ebay and buy a new track ball for no more than 11 dollars!

  1. Pull the battery
  2. Place the phone in a bag of instant rice (or industrial desiccant if you happen to have some)
  3. Vacuum seal if possible
  4. Give it a week.
After a week of that it will have the best chance of working.
