Looking threw previous post it seams that maybe the ribbon cable ging from the z1 to the touch screen came undone or broke, how do i acess this so I can determine if thats the problem ?

thanks

and please come back tonight crook, I got a little supprise for you

ok, I pryed out the top of the screen assembly to access the small screws but I still cannot open the bottom, ie the gears wont open the screen, I have tryed the method oninferno99 sight but it does not work, I dont know if its because mine is a z1 and his instructions are for a z2.

But I think if I could re hook the ribbon cable from the buttons the unit may work ?

any help would be appreciated.

ok, i tryed everything including takiking the unit almost completely apart but still no luck getting the screen to slide open:(

Does anyone know the pin configuration on the back to electricly open the screen ?

no one willing to help a brother z1 owner out ? what gives... someone on here must have the knowledge to get my screen to slide open.............
