New (at least to me) Pro1/ Pro1X Repair Videos

[Hook 2,540]

I noticed these two videos appeared on the IGG page (at the bottom of a long scroll).  I hadn't seen them before.  One shows replacing the display (although it does it frame and all, not replacing the display in an old frame) and opening up the bottom part to replace the battery. 

Thought they deserved direct links here.

F(x) Tec has now posted a repair guide with links to the above videos (though hard to notice... the active links are in the section titles, not the graphics).  There is a note about further information on the FAQ page which isn't there, so I hope that is something being worked on.

EDIT: I just now noticed the date on this repair blog page-- March 4th 2021.  I certainly had no idea it was there (so, as the thread title says new to me 😉).  I only discovered it when one of the regulars over on Discord found it.

New to me too. 🙂

Let us tag @Elysia to see if she can find a way to make stuff like this more visible.
If no smarter solution found, a pinned post with links to stuff like this might do the trick.

Maybe the general header on https://www.fxtec.com/ could be added to the community too?
Perhaps even with something smart like the 'Stars' in the community, to indicate if the other 'tabs' have content the logged in user have not (yet) seen?

Hi all, I have replaced the broken screen on fxtec pto1x with compatible one from ellephoe just today, and i'm experiencing a touch problem on the edges. it doesn't register touch in edge areas - both sides - no touch input roughly 5mm from edges. And i know it didn't use to be that way before with the original screen.

 

Any ideas what the cause might be? Do ellephone screens come that way?

It is a known problem and the known fix is tedious, we got a thread on it, somewhere, will move if/when i find it.

The thread you are looking for is here:

https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3204-display-units-with-large-tap-insensitive-margin/page/9/

However, I do not think we had a case of Pro1-X with this problem yet.

For the Pro1, the usual fix was to flash back to the initial stock (Android 9) OS. Not sure it works similarly for the Pro1-X ...
