here is wat happened.

Out of the blue my ball stopped selecting. I would push it down and it wouldn't work. Then i fixed it, now again i have another problem. As soon as i turn it on it just starts selecting stuff nonstop. It seems like when i push a different button sch as the back button, it will occasionally act as if i hit that and the ball at the same time.

Am i screwed or is there anyway to fix it. My mom said it might be humitity, but I'm not sure.

Your Mom sounds smart. This is usually from moisture or liquid. I would pull the battery and put in a warm dry place for a couple of days and try again. If that fails you can try removing the trackball and replacing. You can get replacement trackballs from the link in my signature.

Good Luck!

I had the same problem with my 8830 that lasted for months. I finally laid it on my furnace vent for the afternoon and it fixed it for a while. When it started again I put it close enough to a video projector bulb fan which appears to have permanently resolved the problem.
