Yes... I put it back together It's not that bad once you've done it a few times

Unfortunately I blew away the OS completely when trying to upgrade it and now need the right OS to get it back

this doesn't eliminate the possibility of a piezo being used in some way. sounds like if it is used, it might be found in the four buttons under the screen. that would explain why the buttons don't click when off, but do click when on.

although this may not be the full fledged piezo wizardry people were hoping for, it would still be really cool. i'm sure the new click method, along with tighter hw tolerances result in a heavy dose of refinement.
posted that over a month ago. good to see more details finally coming to light, it looks like peizo tech is being used in the four buttons ONLY.

the only remaining questions i have are related to the actual screen itself and whether the glass is strictly capacitive. there's another thread where the op says it is capacitive only, i'm inclined to believe that the glass is capacitive only just as storm 1 glass screen is capacitive only.

Actually I think you should read more. In order for the buttons to work the screen has to use more tech to it than what s1 used. The buttons can't affect a regular screen its all electric. There is another layer of something in that screen. You have the basic idea but seem to be missing the things british turbo pointed out in his tear down.

what things do you think i'm missing? britishturbo seems to think the screen is capacitive only as well...

And I'm an engineer that has designed products that use Piezo technology so I understand how it is being used for Haptic feedback... But it's all good... it's very easy to speculate when you do not have a unit working in your hands...
and just for clarity, here's the exchange i'm referring to in regards to whether the screen has additional layers of something built into it. of course we don't know for sure if the screen has something else in yet, but so far we haven't seen anything that says otherwise...

Is it technically possible? Yes...
Is that what's happening? No.

Do you see the buttons in the pictures? Are you in denial about what the 4 buttons on top of the piezo discs are doing there? lol

True, we wont know for sure just yet, I just think its odd that a new tech that deals directly with haptic feedback in the screen wouldnt affect the materials under the screen. But oh well only time will tell i guess.
