Possible Causes

Child lock function enabled, Faulty Xiaomi touch control panel, Loose UI-to-main board ribbon cable, Defective start/pause button switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not repeatedly press buttons with excessive force.

  • 1. Check for child lock: Look for a key or lock icon on the display. Disable child lock by holding the specified button combination (refer to Xiaomi manual, often holding two buttons for 3–5 seconds).
  • 2. Power reset: Unplug for 5 minutes, then reconnect and try again.
  • 3. Inspect control panel (advanced): Remove the top cover and control panel fascia. Check the ribbon cable between the Xiaomi UI board and main board for secure connection.
  • 4. Replace UI board if needed: If certain buttons never respond, the touch panel or button PCB may be faulty and should be replaced with a Xiaomi-compatible part.
