You need the following items.
Small cross head screwdriver, small containor to save screws etc, small clean piece of plastic, a pin, insulation tape.
Remove the main battery and also the backup battery.
Carefully pull off the two top rubber feet and stick them loosely down on the piece of plactic ( be careful you want them to remain sticky so you can use them again.. If not have some thin double sided tape handy - glue will not do it).
Under the feet, you will see small screws, undo and remove these, place them safely in your containor.
At the bottom of the axim , you will see two screws that are normally hidden by the main battery, unscrew these and place them in the containor.
Each side of the main battery compartment, you will see a small black rubber pushed flush to the surface, use your pin to carefully remove these and expose two more screws. Save the rubber bungs in your containor.
Unscrew these two screws and again save them.
Make sure you have removed all CF and SD cards or filling blanks.
Carefully pull away the two side rubber grips, use the pin to start you at the bottom pointed end. (Take care as you need these to remain sticky). Place these face up on your clean plastic.
Starting at the bottom of the X5, by the connectors, use a credit card or finger nail (- I use the latter), to split the case by depressing the latches that are between the top and bottom case. TAKE care not to break them.
Use the credit card or finger nail to carefully open the case all the way arround on both sides and lift away the rear case.
Look at the bottom left of the exposed motherboard. You will see a very small clear plastic connector with two small wires. This is the speaker cable, carefully bull this from the motherboard.
Withe the axim face down, lift the motherboard up by the bottom connector to approx 20 degrees and pull backwards. It may help to hold the top of the case and pull this carefully away from the motherbord so that the speaker connection is free.
You should now have the motherboard, screen assembly clear of the case.
Turn the assembly over so that the screen is upwards. It is a good time now to fully clean the screen.
Bottom right/middle of the screen is a red/brown ribbon cable, this is giving the problems. Cut a piece of insulation tape approx 1/4 inch wide and place this to cover all or at least the left edge of the ribbon cable ( you can wrap it under the cable also).
The repair is now complete.
Reassemble in the reverse order., and remember the speaker cable.
Enjoy your Axim !!!
