pro1x Fingerprint scanner coming loose

[dlmarquis 20]

I've had my Pro1X since Aug 1, and noticed today that the fingerprint scanner had separated from the case. It still works; the electrical connection is on the other end of it. I've taped it down with a bit of electrical tape for now.

What's the best way to stick it down permanently? Should I disable it until it's been fixed? I don't use it anyway.

Hey there, I just noticed the same with mine, although it is not that bad yet, but it's just a question of time until a strand or something else will tear it completely. Do you have already a fix for it? Or a response from someone official?

I'd legit just superglue it back into the slot. lol (in case it goes completely dead it wouldn't matter if you yanked it out with force at that point anyway)

What type of glue did you use? I don't use it either, but I don't like it, if it does not look good ^^

I don't know what type of glue he used, but if I want to use a strong (and hard) glue, I use a two-component glue like DevCon (made in the USA) which is really strong and S-31 is water-clear but advised to be used in a well-ventilated place or maybe Uverapid for example (made in Hungary) but that is not 100% clear...

Basically these are two-component "epoxy resin"-based adhesives which are usually very strong glues.
DevCon is my favourite being really strong, has a long shelf-life and remains usable even long time after opened (if you not bought it from old stock).

S31 has an about 30 minutes of working time and it needs about 8-12 hours to cure or S208 for example has a bit less strength but only 5 minutes of working time and needs about 1 hour to cure.
