Re: 9-27mm NX Mini lens won't find focus

Great to see the description here and the images. I just got an NX mini that exhibits a similar behavior: the lens claims to be locked at <11mm and at 27mm, so both ends of the zoom spectrum are unworkable.

I've disassembled the first level of the lens and cleaned all three ribbon cables with alcohol, and it briefly worked at 27mm (in between, it had various combinations of "unlock" and not being able to focus), but now it's back to the original situation.

Does anyone know which of the two ribbon cables going "down" is for the AF motor, and which is for the zoom ring decoder? Are there instructions on further disassembling the lens somewhere?
