Root causes
A symptom is not the diagnosis
Possible causes: contamination, screen protector interference, damaged sensor, flex cable, alignment, software or paired security components.
| What to establish | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Exact model | Parts and internal designs vary by generation. |
| When it began | Impact, moisture, heat or an update changes the diagnostic path. |
| Other failed functions | Several symptoms may indicate a wider fault. |
| Repair objective | Continued use and data recovery can require different decisions. |
