In my experience - I've had at least four Logitech trackballs over the last 25 years - Logitech trackballs are crap.
With my regular 8-10 hour daily office use maybe followed by some gaming, they have either worn out or just died. I have had one or two replaced on warranty within the first year, only for it to wear out within a year again.
What is wrong with yours I can't say, I'm only sharing my experience.
Fluff inside the wheel, difficult to remove.
I don't remember when was the previous time when this happened; a few years back, I'm sure. I must write a label under the mouse. Wrote one on Gnote meanwhile.
I have long since switched to a Kensington trackball, "Expert Mouse". I think it was recommended by someone here on the list.
This?

Doesn't look confortable.
I have been using this Logitech trackball for years

The link can not be opened. It asks where I live: Canada, USA, Mexico, and then doesn't produce your product page. Ah, ok, I have to hit back and then I see your trackball. It is very similar to mine, except I don't have the two tiny buttons.
Both wireless and wired units. Unless you use a hammer on one I have had no issues.
I use two at home everyday and two more at the office in Wichita. Also have one to travel with for my laptop.
Mine works so well that when it fails like this I have forgotten what's the problem, previous time was years before...
