Hello!
I have opened my BA case, cause the down button on the front panel stopt working as it should (I had to press it REALLY hard to make it work). The rubber part was a bit used.
After reassembling the unit, the screen is dead - it remains black (backlight is on, touchscreen works, but the image is black). What could go wrong?:/
did u figure it out??
check that nothing is torn or broken, espcially those thin soft connectors...
Yep, its functional again. Simply the maiunboard connector did get 'used off' - had to correct the pins (just... move them a little) with a thin needle

I've had that twice now, fortunately Orange Care brought me a new one today.
Hello!
I have a weird error on my diamond 2 - I dropped it on the floor, so the touch screen got broke. I bought a new original one and replaced it as myself, which wasn't that difficult. The strange thing is that now when I move my finger up and down on touch screen the pointer moves side to side, and when i move finger from side to side the pointer goes up and down...? It's just like touch screen was rotated 90 degrees. Have tried to do a factory reset via a guide I found but it is still the same. Is it supposed to recalibrate the phone somehow?
Could this be a fysical connection error?
I tried to put cable in the other way but it was to short, and I can't figure out how to put it another than it is now. If i try to force it around 180 degrees it will be ripped off and break.
is your problem already solved? i replaced my cover as well. i think the connection ot digitizer is not pluged in correctly, it is not in the middle. it is also possible that your replacement is scrap

Hm, I'll check it out. It's possible connector ended up wrong, I was most happy that I got in place

I tried to go maneuver via the menu but it was impossible. But I didn't give up and Google instead and found this - "You need to simultaneously hold down Volume Up and Volume Down on the side of the device, and while holding them both down, just tap the screen and it will go straight to the alignment screen."
This works and my screen is now aligned, but still I got it's 90 degree ccw rotated.
I forgot to mention that i have replaced digitizer two times - one before this one, reason was i thought first one was broken/faulty
So heres what happened. I had a perfectly working touchpad with CM9 and webOS dual-installed. In October it was dropped and the screen shattered. I ordered a replacement digitizer screen for a Chinese Ebay seller. It arrived last week. I swapped out the screen(which was a pain with all the glue and the shattered pieces stuck on it). Anyway after swap and charging the tablet was working great.
I decided to download the latest Cm9 nightly build and installed it from recovery. reboot and now screen would not respond. First I thought maybe the connectors have come loose, but opened it and everything is intact. When I jiggle the connectors I see movement on the screen, so something is going on.
I want to reboot but I cant figure out a way to hit the reboot on the screen after I press the power button. All physical buttons are working fine. Is there another way to reboot this device?

Hold down power and home buttons at same time for 20-30 seconds and it should reboot. If that fails, try holding down power button and tapping the home button repeatedly, maybe 20-30 times or more. Good luck!
I was able to reboot but touchscreen still does not work. probably do a tradein or just throw it in the trash.
Does anybody know if an unreponsive touchscreen would be counted as in good condition or fair condition for tradein?

I would say of course not, it is called a Touchpad if touch doesn't work then its not fit for use.

I'd exhaust all other possible fixes before tossing it completely. And even after it was pretty clear the TP wasn't operable, you may find others who would buy it to get some of the parts that may still be good.
Hey guys I have a question. I recently changed the screen on my note 4 to a new non cracked one. Now I tried the screen with the s pen before I took the phone apart so I knew it worked. Well once I got the phone all back together the s pen on the new screen doesn't work anymore. What would control the s pen in the phone hardware wise that would make it stop working? I tried all the software troubleshooting ideas other than reloading the rom. Anybody have any ideas?
Probably the s pen ribbon cable not connected properly. I had the same issue when I personally repaired my n4. Realized it after the same issues u have and had to separate the lcd from the frame to easily connect both ribbon cables the same time.
Thanks. I'll check it out.
Did you manage to fix it? I have same problem. I got mine fixed at a phone repair shop. When I remove the s pen, the air command pops out but when I touch the screen, nothing happens.

Hey all
After reading this forum for ages I took the plunge on a Z1, and am not disappointed!
I had one question, if anyone is able to help.
The hardware buttons light up with a nice white LED.
However, the one on the left (select open apps) is much, much brighter than the one on the right (back).
In fact, it's almost as if the right hand one doesn't work at all.
Is this the same as everyone else's phone, or does mine have a defect?
Many thanks to anyone that can compare theirs.
Uri
P.S: I have the grey one with the black front, which may make this more noticeable.

Is a hardware issue, I think.
My 2 buttons has the same light intensity and is a good intensity.
In my previous prone, a OnePlus One, I have suffered this issue: the back button had a lower light intensity compared to the other buttons.

Thanks very much for the quick reply
To be honest, everything else about the phone is perfect (screen, fingerprint scanner, buttons don't wobble, etc), so for the first time in my life I might just live with "almost-perfect".
I had too many issues with iPhones and am worried if I swap it out, then the replacement will have some other defect like screen bleed, etc, etc.

If you can live with this issue: Don't return it!
I also haven't returned my OPO. Is a small detect I think
Easy to fix
I had this issue too, but it is easy to fix. When you open your phone backcover, you only have to remove the speaker and reposition the led. The led is loose in a cable and so you can reposition it until the buttons have the same intensity and fix it with some glue.
On my phone the intensity is now exactly the same and i only needed half an hour for it.
When you remove the backcover warm it up a bit and use a sucker to avoid scratches in the frame.
Well I can confirm that I have the same issue on my white Zuk! But it's not very noticeable so i'm keeping it like it is!

Wasn't very hard to remove, i didn't brake any clips. Use a sucker and as soon as you see a little gap, use a plastic pick or your fingernails to gently pull up the backcover.
After i opened it i removed the tape from the phone and the backcover. After the work is done you can simply close the Backcover without tape or something. I didn't use tape and had no gaps afterwards.

I just tried that; broke some pins immediately, they seem to be of very soft plastic... So i would recommend others not to do it

Hi guys, even I have noticed the same, the back button light is dimmer than task button. Can somebody suggest if I should get it replaced?

Same for me. back button light intensity is very low compared to menu button. Its not a big issue. My friend also having same issue. you may get same problem in that replacement unit also. So,better keep as it is.
@arunpkrt and @aniketsabarad If you don't mind there is also an option inside the Zuk Z1 lights configuration to switch off this little ugly menu LED and back LED. The function itself stays active and the touch area is large enough to hit the sensitive zone blinded easily .

You guys are right. I faced this problem initially. The phone was perfect, I set it up nicely and was using it. But after a day or two this back button led issue started frustrating me. I applied for a replacement and was surprised to see that even the replacement unit had same issue. So really no point getting it replaced. If it really bothers, you can take the risk to open up the back case as other members suggested.
I also have the same issue but its not important because im using onscreen keyboard.
Overall is perfect but one thing is missing. We still dont have marshmallow to enjoy before Android N release.
Edit: Happy 500th post to me! God Bless!
I don't have the issue, but if ever I had it, it won't matter as I disabled the hardware buttons once I started using mine. 5.5" is too much of a screen and the 3 on screen buttons don't take up that much space. I am much worried about pressing the hard home button because I read from some users that it failed after 2 or three months of using the phone. I only use it for finger print. No need to press it. Double tap to wake, double tap to sleep. No hard buttons to wear.

Mine has the same problem, if I where you I would just keep it that way and don't go to all the trouble to send it back.
You can also Disable the lights thats what I did
