What button doesn't work in Meizu M3s - what should I do?

The Meizu M3s smartphone has become available among a wide range of modern gadgets and mobile phones.

However, within an hour after the start of sales, many consumers began to encounter the problem of the mechanical Home button, which does not work with the built-in mTouch fingerprint scanner.

As a result, the functions “Back”, “Home” and unlocking the screen became inaccessible.

This article provides information about the causes and methods of eliminating this problem.

And if you absolutely need to take care of your smartphone, or any other device, we recommend that you go to the service center https://m-service.com.ua/.

Well, there are some reasons why the mechanical key of the Meizu M3s may be broken.

The broadest of them are:

Incorrectly installed firmware;

Penetrating into the smartphone vologi;

Good thing, the Meizu M3s smartphone is still under warranty.

In this case, it is better to contact a certified service center, where diagnostics and replacement of the key can be carried out cost-free. However, users of Meizu M3s phones emphasize that the problem begins to appear 1 week after the phone is connected, which means that the warranty will end in this case. We appreciate that if you decided to carry out the repair yourself, you will need a new mechanical key. You can get it either in online stores of service centers (before speech, "M-Service"

such a button is obvious), or you can go directly to China through

Aliexpress

.

When buying from China, be respectful of the key you are buying.

There are two versions “VF SF” and “VGS”.

• In the first version of the button, according to buyers, the defect may appear within an hour, but the VGS version does not have such a problem.
• Information support: https://m-service.com.ua/
• One of the weak points of Meizu smartphones is the finger scanner (mTouch).

Some users say that this button does not change its functions immediately after adding a mobile device.

And in others, you will get out in good order after the singing hour.

If the phone is under warranty service, then the problem of the mTouch not working should be sent to the service center.

If the cause of the malfunction was the loss of data on the phone, after disassembly, carefully look at the contacts of the key.

If oxidation is evident, clean them with alcohol and soft plaster.

Troubleshooting Meizu software problems

Although the Meiza M3 Mini is unable to stop using the fingerprint scanner and the “Back” function, there is no way to remove any problems with the robot’s software.

On Android devices, similar problems occur quite often.

To remove them, you will need to reset all settings on your mobile phone to factory settings.

For Vikonanny a hard reset is necessary:

After completely cleaning and re-enabling the mTouch button, all functionality will return.

1. The hard reset procedure removes not only all settings from the phone, but also data files located on the internal memory of the gadget.
2. Therefore, before activating, save important information to an external storage device or computer.
   
3. If you bought Meizu on AliExpress or other Chinese platforms, the fingerprint scanner from the first days of operation has not been used, since all smartphones have since been released for the Asian market and there is a local cost sewing or in the shortest way Russification of the image of the global.
4. To check the firmware, you need to go to the About phone section and notice what is written in the Flyme version row.
5. The remaining letters are A, U or C, which is Chinese firmware.
6. The global version will end with G or I.
7. To resolve the problem, you need to install global firmware in addition to changing the ID.

Try it like this: Link your mobile phone to your Flyme account. This is available in the “Account” section.

The inadequacy of the Home button manifests itself in different ways.

You can see it directly, you can use it to work with the sensor, in which the pressure works normally or inadvertently.

I had an issue: the Home button on my Meizu M2 Mini started to work incorrectly.

The dotik was not performed in a hurry, but was pressed.

I already thought that this was a problem with the Android operating system and tried to reset the settings, but it didn’t help.

My solution to the non-functional home button of Meizu M2 Note / Meizu M2 Mini.

Trying to use a hairdryer, as I watched on YouTube, often helped, the problem resolves 5-10 minutes after drying. The solution to this problem is very simple - use vicoric acid and a cotton swab, carefully wipe the Home button around the entire perimeter, pressing hard, so that the little bits are lost in the middle. Pouch – for more than two months now, the Home button on my Meizu M2 Mini has been working properly.

I have just identified one of the options for solving the problem of the broken Home button on the Meizu M2 Mini.

If you make a friend, I am not the culprit.

If my solution did not help you, don’t panic - try giving your phone to an authorized service center, they may be able to replace the home button with a guarantee.

If it works or you do not have an official guarantee for the device, then there is only one way out - buy a home button for Meizu M2 on any Chinese site, for example on Aliexpress, fortunately

• The Meizu company has conquered the market with its affordable and highly productive gadgets, but not all buyers of new smartphones are satisfied with the folding and robotic operation of the devices after purchase.
• The button stops working after several months of use;
• The button does not respond the first time after pressing;

Damage most often occurs after the device falls down or is lost in water.

While everything is immediately clear about mechanical failures, the causes of other malfunctions may be different.

For example:

• Ingress of water (after falling in water) or condensation (operation in very wet conditions with sudden changes in temperature in excessive air);
• The buttons can be worn out (lowly, but not at all possible), and here we can include the low viscosity of the output components;
• Software fix (bugs in the firmware will be fixed);
• The soldering to the Home button cable of Meizu M3 is unclear (the so-called “head on pillow” effect, which affects a large number of current digital devices due to the peculiarities of the factory soldering).

Replacing the Home touch button on the Meizu M3 smartphone

Of course, the first thought that comes to mind in the event of any damage to a folding device is to go to the official service center, and since the warranty is still valid, the seller or distributor will correct the defect absolutely without damages, and also preserve the warranty until new completion.

However, it is not always possible to go to such a center (it is not within reach, the goods were purchased without a guarantee).

Since it is not possible to contact the service center, there is only one solution left:
The problem with the home button of Meizu M3 is likely to require a complete replacement.

More importantly, the algorithm works with its own hands.

Purchase of buttons.

There are 2 versions for sale - VF SF and VGS, depending on the preferences of the buyers, it is best to choose them yourself.

The current price is about 600 rubles.

1. Picking up the phone.
2. We first screw in 2 screws from the bottom of the case along the edges of the charging connection socket.
3. The back cover is removed from the edge using the indicated screws.
4. Under the battery, another 6 screws are screwed onto the plastic insert.
5. After removing the insert, access to payment is granted.
6. The cables are connected, the screw is tightened, which is released, the board rises.
7. A touch button is mounted under the board.
8. It is attached with 2 screws to the smartphone body, the cable is connected to the main board.
9. The old button is removed and replaced with a new one.

The screws are tightened and the train wobbles.

The new one is installed in the turning order.

The smartphone goes back.

What should you try to improve the functionality of the self-tightening device without replacing the Home touch button?

If your phone is damaged due to a defect, in some cases you may be able to help by flashing the firmware or repairing the phone.

It is important to remember here that in the process of reflashing the smartphone may “get sick” and then no one will help you, the warranty will be automatically canceled whenever it is issued (especially if the firmware is not official).

Information about all procedures, as well as stable versions of firmware, can be found on specialized resources (for example, the 4pda forum, or on the official website), where you can also find information from other authorities about similar problems.

VIDEO INSTRUCTION

If reflashing did not help, or the defect appeared after many months, or on the other hand, we found The reason for the breakdown of the Home button on Meizu- getting caught by a vologger (in some cases, a vologger can spend time without using a smartphone under the board or falling into a pothole).

1. This defect can be tried by drying your phone with the help of a regular hair dryer (just not a long hair dryer, it will cause too high a temperature).
2. Some koristuvachs are given the opportunity to open the button after drying (press the bag of agaraz on a heated bench, the heat will come out at once from the drying hair).

If the above-mentioned methods did not help, you can try to get the phone back on your own and wipe the button with alcohol (you might get something sticky that you can’t see with a hairdryer).

Another alternative solution is to replace the function of the hardware button with a software button (a special widget is displayed on the smartphone screen, activated in the configured phone in the section with special capabilities).

However, the finger scanner, as before, is not available, which reduces the phone's functionality.

Such a decision may take less time (before going to a service center or a major).

The Meizu m3 smartphone has a sensitive key with a built-in sensor under the display.

This is used for activating the Vlasnik’s finger, activating a menu section, and selecting the “back” command.

There is a possibility of following these steps or one of them to find out about those that the meizu m3 touch button does not work.

• There are a number of reasons why such a breakdown occurs.
• There is an insignificant failure of the membrane, for example, when the system is re-engineered with a large number of active add-ons at the same time.

Problems in the hardware of the smartphone most often lead to the fact that the meizu m3 button sensor does not work.

The stench may be present at first, or it may appear as a result of improper use by the hairdresser.

• The sensitive module can remove mechanical problems through:
• the fall and attack of the telephone;
• strong pressure;

flooded with waters, or filled with water.

Using the phone with your hair can be done under the hour, standing under the board, rubbing with wet hands, or finding it in a dry place.

After these stains, cracking, splitting, and oxidation of the button elements appear; virtually the entire component becomes unusable and requires replacement.

Troubleshooting methods

Correction of software bugs

It is recommended to begin solving problems with the system by simply restarting the gadget.

If this does not help, you will need to install the official update or replace the entire system with a licensed one.

In some cases, the situation can be corrected by standardly turning it back to the factory settings.

Before beginning these procedures, it is important to make a backup copy of all valuable data on your smartphone.

Since the Maze M3 does not operate with a button sensor, users who want to operate the device’s engineering menu must first set the key calibration program.

After warming up, an alcohol residue may appear on the button assembly removed from the phone, since the alcohol may be able to dry the liquid.

When disassembling the phone, be sure to carefully press the button cable - you may not be inserted properly, or it will often come off when hit.

And here the stronger fastening helps.
