Suprisingly i'm not talking about BROD.. lol
I opened my k850 up today and seem to have sucessfully fixed my touch buttons by cleaning the gold-coloured sensors below the LCD.
Really happy if they are fixed, but that has brought me another problem - the vibrate module is no longer working - wont work after hard reset, in the service menu, when a call or text is received and no short burst when the phone is turned on.
So I know it can't be a software issue.
I did not get a warranty with my k850 (bad idea) hence the DIY to avoid third-party service centres which cost $$$.
Any help as to what the vibration module looks like would be appreciated.
Here is a look inside if you can maybe spot it:

this is what they generally look like - bear in mind this image has a green
mounting rubber on it as well ...

It could simply be a bad contact with the vibrator and the board. Disassemble the phone again and raise the vib's contacts. it should be ok then |

I disassembled again, and it started working so I quickly put it back together and it has been fine since :S
Thanks for your response guys  |
