Aura E2 possible fix for random phantom touch issues

[Timpanogos Slim]

My Aura E2 developed the annoying issue where it detected random touches in use last year.

It started some time after it went on a camping trip and ended up in a moist environment for a couple days. The first issue from that was with the internal microsd but that was resolved by popping out the card and swabbing the contacts with deoxit.

I also tried swabbing the contacts of all of the ribbon cables when the random touch thing started and it did not seem to help.

Yesterday i removed the entire internal assembly from the bezel. First i cleaned the entire screen with alcohol a few times until i couldn't see any more crud on it.

The double-sided tape on the inside of the bezel was in poor condition and had a lot of little bits of whatever stuck to it so i peeled it off, cleaned the bezel with naphtha and then with alcohol, and applied new double-sided tape before reassembling.

I also re-swabbed all the ribbon cable connectors with my deoxit pen just in case before snapping on the back.

I no longer appear to have random / phantom touch issues.

It's possible that it was just some salty-greasy crumb caught under the bezel. Hard to say, but that would certainly trigger a capacitive touch panel.

I used the black 3m double sided tape sold for phone repair. Seemed to be the same stuff as the original tape.
