Glad I could help.
Thanks, from me too. I just needed to clean the dust out of mine, so it didn't take as long as the instructions indicated. I guess they're actually for replacing the switches but the disassembly/reassembly is the same. MUCH appreciated!
The battery screw got me! Thanks a bunch!
This is perfect. This model is perfect for my hand and since it was superseded by a new one which is a bit too large for me I have to to take extra care of my old trackballs.
Thanks for this, great to find out where all the screws are hidden. Just needed a bit of a clean to get the switches working properly again.

If all you’re trying to do is clean under the trackball, turn it over and push on it through the hole. It pops out.

I examined my bearings under a magnifier and saw fine pet hair and what may be skin cell crud. Scrubbed the bearings with toothbrush and alcohol. Bearings didn't roll smooth until the alcohol dried. If I did it again, I would try with a dry toothbrush first.
