Broken touch functionality (Any suggestions?)

I've also come across this problem now. The entire left part of my screen is now unresponsive, such as the A, Z and Q buttons.

I don't understand what they did in the videos. What did they rub the M8 with?

Hey,
from the video it look like a piezoelectric gas-lighter, you can find it everywhere (do not confuse with a gas one or you burn your M8!)
I think that the "treatment" reset any possible magnetic field on the touch screen so it's new again...

The one you can use to turn one your stove? Are you sure this won't damage your M8 and cross warranty limits? :/

exactly like MEIZUITA said.

I'v read several threads saying it works, but I don't know. just trying to help if sending back for repair is not possible.

Can anybody explain me how to use a piezo lighter to repair my screen??

now you can send back it to the factory or send back to the company to replace one free.

but the postal fee seems very expensive```

True, if I send it back to China it I have to pay costs TO and FROM China! Gotta try the piezoelectric gas-lighter...

The piezoelectric gas-lighter didn't work for me. Anyone know where to get electric tape in the Netherlands?

i tried the lighter, it works. now i can unlock my phone, and the sensitivity improves. however a very small part is not working using the test software.

1. try remove your LCD protector first and test again. if still can't,

send it back if u have gurantee ...
i have the same problem and send my phone today back to my reseller !

I also experienced some touchscreen problems..
parts of the display would be iresponsive and parts would send wrong coordinates...
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

That´s brilliant!

Could you expand a little more on what you did? I've moved a lighter around my screen for a good 10 minutes and there was no positive effect.

Yeah, same here, in the video it looks like he is touching the frame while pressing the button on the lighter, is this correct?

I didn't do it exactly like he did on the video..
actually.. since there still was fuel in the lighter.. I placed the whole metal part of the lighter horizontally on the screen..
so the part where the fire comes out pointed right from my device
then lightened the lighter a few times..

to be clear.. I held the device vertically (that is in portrait mode)


I couldn't find my camera.. else I would've taken a pic with the meizu and the lighter....

I was thinking.. probably u can also use another lighter, like on the picture..
take it apart...
use the part where the arrow is pointing at... there is a little piece of iron sticking out of that...
hold that against the screen
then press the "button" on the part..
this will result in an electric shock..

this way should be more effective.. cause u can directly touch the screen with the iron..

(it's also fun to tease people with...)
