YES! If the flex cables do not connect properly then the pad shows the blue light for a few seconds then turns off.

I fixed this issue using white tak to hold down the tiny little flex cables.

Just push the flex cable onto the connector exactly in line..then use a small blob of tak to hold it down!

Not the best fix but much easier than trying to solder anything!

Try it! it might take a couple of goes to get it right... keep trying and your pad should work eventually.

Hope it helps!
