Hopefully getting this for Christmas..

It's like a controller for iTouch/iPhone, for software that supports it. At the moment, I believe it's only Akai's own software, and the apparently incredible NanoStudio. Velocity sensitive and modulation/pitch wheels - you can also use it as a full MIDI controller and shiznit.
It sells for around £75/$99, which seems pretty reasonable to me.
Guess this could be a handy tool for some portable musicians who would prefer to play a real keyboard hm?

So, I was reliably informed the button matrix on my DMG was fucked. Every so often, I'd press one button and several would register at once and it'd be all fucky.
However, I did find this somewhat strange as it had been fine for months previously, and without opening it up it suddenly went fucky.

Anyway, I took my DMG apart to take out the backlight and shit to put in another DMG. I tested it first... And now it works fine! No problem at all.

This is totally bizarre. I have no clue why it keeps breaking/unbreaking. My question is this - is it because of certain points of pressure or whatever, and therefore would I be able to carefully put it back together and use it fine? If not, would I have to replace the back board, front board, or both?

I did buy another DMG, to backlight and use instead. However, pretty much as soon as I unscrewed the small screen ribbon cable, it broke. All I'd done was slide a knife under to start removing the film, but now there are huge vertical borders at either side of the screen. They're about equal - on the right in LSDJ for example, I can only see the first digit of the tempo.
Is this at all fixable, of am I fuxxed?
I've backlit two DMGs before no problem. It's odd that this one should break so easily...
