Wonky Crystal Castles Trackball- even with new Trackball
I picked up a Crystal Castles that had a rough trackball. When I tested it everything worked fine, it was just rough. I bought a new roller and bearing kit, but that just made things worse. When I reinstalled everything, it was like Bentley Bear had a good o'l hit of meth and was all over the place. Sometimes he would be fine and other times he would move in the opposite direction or not at all.
I figured, I did not put the track assembly back correctly or I had bent something during my rebuild so I went out and bought an NOS trackball. I threw it in there and it is doing the same thing.
Any thoughts? I am not 100% familiar with how these trackball systems work. Do I need to align the optics with the optic PCB's?
