anyway. Ive only jsut found about this thread. I got really pissed when I found out there was something gluey stuff sticking the foil down, i ended up destroying the end bit of the foil with tweezers. it wouldn't budge. So in the end I put the new foil over the top of the failing foil.
screwed it all back together which took about 5 hours cause the case is made really bad (well it is, isn't it)
now i got this ^^^ all the buttons light up, nothing works and ive just wasted 6 hours and im annoyed now.
Well, putting the new foil over the old one isn't a bad thing to do and apparently works, so don't worry about that.
From the description and the pic my guess is something else got damaged in the process. 5 hours to reassemble the frame? Could you have damaged something on the IC board while fumbling around with it? Did you make sure the rubber spacers on the LCD are aligned with the contacts on the IC board?
If you are lucky maybe there is just a connector loose somewhere.
