Only glue is the adhesive already on the digitizer that makes it stick to the case

"发点真正有用的,修复860触摸屏失灵

哈哈哈哈哈哈,,,,两个月之前860手机触摸屏就有一条失灵了,一直将就着用,,到前一段时间中间段又失灵了,查了一下,要换屏,一个触摸屏200左右,还不一定能用多久,,就,,死马当作活马医了,,,偶然见到触摸屏的四周有点缝隙,用牙签一挑竟然可以翘起来,,感觉是不是这里的原因啊,,就,,,找来一瓶2块钱的502胶水,用牙签沾着胶水填到缝隙里面,压紧,压平,必须的,,,然后用打火机电了一下,关机,重启,,,一切恢复正常了,,现在已经正常使用一天了,,估计找到病因了哦哦哦,,,以前电一下只能支持半小时左右,现在好了,,,相当激动,,,,
注意点胶水小心点啊,,不要弄太多了,,,小心小心小心.............我很少发帖的,,本方法亲自操作成功,,耶!!!!"

Does anybody know what the gold flex cable next to front camera glued to screen casing do ?
I thought whether grounds or it is isolated ? Does have any fuctionality ? althought the cables inside the ribbon go nowhere
i think this is the problem for touscreen problems......

Do you mean the gold patched flex cable above the camera? If so, this is where the prongs for your headphone jack meet to allow functionality. You will see the prongs and headphone jack attached to the top left of the mid-frame bezel when you take it off the phone.

no i mean the one is glued on screen casing under battery ending to digitizer connector

Besides that Touchscreen now is completelly dead i tried checking all flex cables and all are in position and seem ok and especialy the I/O digitizers flex cable.
Whether the digitizers chip is burned or i dont know .Before at reboots screen worked normally and then i got buggy toucscheen, i tried almosth everything installing other roms or changing the touchpad.cfg back to stock .
and this seemed like a good digitizer no dead spots or whatever just buggy touch

i will try editing the voltage at touchpad.cfg
please someone help........

I remember having those issues, digitizer was faulty and the only solution was to re replace it

Some time ago I've bought used Atrix 4g to replace the one returned by the warranty. After a half a year I've encountered the problem with digitizer - horizontal strip (maybe a few millimeters wide) on the display didn't respond to touches correctly.
I've decided to repair the phone by myself and ordered digitizer with a plastic frame in China.
Yesterday I disassembled the phone and replaced the digitizer.

  • Unfortunately now I have vertical strip maybe one centimeter from the left edge of the screen where touches are not processed correctly - i.e. it's almost impossible to type 'w', 's' and 'z' symbols on the on screen keyboard.

  • Also only 2 left most from 4 bottom buttons ("Menu" and "Home") are highlighted in the darkness.

  • And the most strange problem is that SD card is now not visible to the phone but works on PC though :(
I double checked the connections and cables but it doesn't help :(
Are there any suggestions which of the problems are the result of my deeds and what are the hardware fault?
