Screen Click Problem Torx Fix

[Jascias]

This works great and it fixed my screen problem. The red sticker is a water detection sticker and will not void warranty.

1. Need micro TORX (T6) screw driver and small needle.
2. Open back and you will see a red sticker and directly across from it you will see a silver screw. Under the red sticker is a identical screw. These 2 screws are screwed on too tight.
3. Using the small needle, you can take off the sticker for replacement later. Unscrew both screws in SMALL INCREMENTS (Don't worry about them being too loose, they will still be tight) Storms are all not the same, so others might take more turns then others. If you find your screen getting stuck/unresponsive then you unscrewed to far. Screw them back and start over.

4. Replace sticker, screen is fixed. Send a Wonka Bar with a Golden Ticket. I accept paypal.

5. I used to have to fix my console gamepads by doing this, so It just popped in my head to try this an it worked.

6. Enjoy your Storm.

Update: Just a FYI. You don't always have to tweek both screws. A coworker of mine (who I just found out had the storm), just received his third replacement do to the clicking issue. Guy was pretty ****. I found that tweeking both screws on his didn't give the same perfect feel as mine. I also found that keeping the screw (the one under the sticker) normal, and only tweeking the other screw work great for his. Now his is the same as mine. But this goes to show that storms all not all alike, and fine tuning is a must. You just got to take your time.

Can anyone else try this to verify. I don't have that screwdriver.

Jascias,

What does a "micro star screwdriver" look like? Is it similar to the tiny screwdriver that you use to repair eyeglasses?

yes, it has 6 sides, same one for eyeglasses. Its not a philips, nor a flat head. I bought mine from Sears, but any hardware store will have them.

its a torx 5 I believe.

So.. does this work? Nobody else verified..

Yep, it's called a TORX.

Are there supposed to be stickers on both screws? Mine only has a sticker on one. Weird.

No, just one sticker, the other screw is directly across from it. It has no sticker.

Thanks, updated first post.

Do they put the sticker on there for warranty purposes?

[bthoward]

Anyone else tried this? I was about to but the smallest I have in the garage is T8... I've got smaller at work though...

[808bb]

interested to see how this works

[jskrap]

I think I have a torx. I just don't want to mess with the sticker if it's going to void my warranty or keep me from returning it if I have to.

The sticker is REALLY easy to take off intact.. im charging my camera ill take a pic asap. Also, the smallest i have is a T10 so i cant test this theory yet either..
