I had it powered up on the bench and pushing on the contacts didn't bring the pixels back, but flexing the cable did. I just couldn't find a cable position that allowed it to work reliably with the case on. Other's have said they've had good results just by increasing the pressure on the contacts though, so either there's another failure mode, or the cable disturbance is randomly sorting some units out.
