Same thing happened to mine a while ago... wouldn't scroll up.

Although the ball moved, there was no little clicking noise as I moved it, so think it wasn't making contact, or moving the sensor inside.

I pressed it around a bit, pushing it forwards and backwards while it was depressed, and it seemed to solve the problem.

Hope that helps.

I had similar intermittent issues with mine. I ended up taking it back to the Apple store and getting a new one.

I don't know -- you've obviously had it less than a year. I bet it depends who you talk to at the store. They exchanged mine without even trying it but I had the box, receipt etc.
