Before I embark upon disassembling the Trackball Assembly (a more complex job than on a Mac Portable and the reason I started this thread), is because I have no experience doing this, and I have read extensively about broken standoffs caused by merely opening the machine in the first place, even when done very carefully. So I was hoping that somebody who does have such experience in disassembling this entire trackball unit, not merely removing the unit but disassembling the unit, would chime in with details and precautions for me.

I am new to these older power books and I have zero experience so I have no idea if there’s a missing wheel or spring or anything of that sort, and I’m hard pressed to find even photos or videos of a fully disassembled track ball assembly. I searched it for hours in vain yesterday for all of that before I started this thread. It’s almost like nobody out there has ever disassembled a PowerBook trackball unit. I find that rather odd.
Here is a second reason why my track ball assembly needs to be torn apart, assuming this second problem can even be fixed — the left side of the upper and lower buttons have issues, and I clearly show in this short video…
