Z1, self repaired but... volume up button (flex cable) problems

[keza]

Hi, about 2 weeks ago my volume down button stopped working which forced the mobile into safe mode, which i couldn't get out off due to the volume down button failuring, i tried all sorts of method already.

Today my flex cable part came, i followed a tutorial in-depth dissasembled the experia Z1, replaced the flex cable connected everything together, and MAGIC the mobile worked! ... it was no longer in safe mode the volume down button worked like a charm, HOWEVER now my volume up button stopped working??? the power button also is abit dodgy, it takes like 5-10sec till the screen turns back on after hitting the power button, does anyone know the reason why for this overall issue? ...everything is connected properly i also did a factory reset and connected it to the sony software which doesnt do anything as my mobile is already up-to date!

Please help, thanks!

Another thing you could test if you or someone you know, knows how to and that is to test with a multi meter the connections to see if it is the buttons or the actual orange flex cable and if both pass then this is a deeper problem that I simply have no clue about

Ah i get what you mean now bud, the replacement one i ordered doesn't have any sticky tape at back, however the old one has that redish sticky stuff on the board already, i will take it all out again and place it more accoringly.
