Broken touch functionality (Any suggestions?)

It worked like a charm...

Thanks man!

so.. today I tried doing the thing with the fire-lighter like here -> µç»÷·¨ÊÓƵ¡£ÈÃһЩÈË¿ÉÒÔ±Õ×ìÁË¡£ - ×ÛºÏÌÖÂÛÇø - [÷È×åÂÛ̳]
and I completely got my screen back!
I took a little picture to show what lighter I used



I think the trick is to send (a little) electricity into the screen, so be sure to touch the screen as much as possible with a metal part of the lighter

Good News! The lighter method worked.......for about two hours
Now it's even worse off. Cant do anything except listen to music and play balanceball, even then i have to press the play button for 5 minutes before i might get it to work.
For anyone who has sent the M8 back for repairs, was it possible to do it without sending it back to the reseller first? Cause my reseller had "problems" when i sent it and he sent it back. Im not willing to pay 40 bucks again.

I did not do it but you can contact meizu directly..
Check their website for the mail address

I send it to Meizu directly but that was not for the touchscreen. You can read more about it here: Announcement of M8(SE) after-sales service for overseas end-users - M8 Help Center - Meizu Forums
