4. Remove another screw covered by the warranty sticker. You can either poke through or carefully remove the sticker with a blade first, your choice.

8. This is the switch. Use a test pen or screwdriver to reach for it when testing the device later.

9. The faulty display is the result of poor contact between the ribbon cable and your Touch ‘n Go card.

10. Scribble on the ribbon cable with a 2B pencil for 10 seconds. Be very gentle with it.

12. The display should be working fine now. IF NOT, gently clean the ribbon cable with an eraser. Then repeat step 10 and 11 until it works.

13. Once the display is working again, reassemble the casing accordingly and you’re good to go! Don’t forget about the button!
