My phone got the dreaded 'yellow stain' spot on the top right corner. Being handy and thrifty (and because MS won't cover it under warranty) I tried to fix it myself. I bought a new screen & frame assembly, volume & power flex control & sensor, proximity flex sensor and headphone flex sensor. After taking it all apart and putting it back together again, the screen worked, but the touch screen function would cut in and out, being out 90% of the time.
The screen and frame assembly looked like they *may* have been damaged during shipment (a small plastic tab had broken off). I assumed the screen was bad and bought another, along with all the other flex sensors. I again, disassembled and reassembled it with the new parts (these ones looked to be in much better condition). Same result! The touch feature on the screen worked for a little while (minutes) and then wouldn't work again.
You're thinking "this has to be user error" but each time when I reassembled with the original screen it works fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I'm missing? I compared both the old (stained) screen and new one every single millimeter and I can't see there's a part missing or misaligned. Is there a tab I need to pop out or a jumper I need to switch or anything?
