3 days ago my trackpad stoped working, i read several posts on the internet about people with the same problem. they advised me to update my software but the probem is that when i plug my phone into the pc it wants me to choose between (charge only , sync media and usb). i cant select anything due to my trackpad not working please help, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What did you do to the device just before it stopped working? Did you drop it? Did it get wet? Sounds like water damage.

no it worked normally..

Certainly sounds like water.

What did you do tot he device just before this happened? Did you load and app or a theme?

A software upgrade or software reinstall will rule out a software problem. See the same blackberry support page to search for instructions on forcing an OS reinstall using Desktop Manager.

Do not listen to this advice. It is not correct.

Have you tried a battery pull while device is on?
