The FPC above it is the touch sensor, and the one at the top is the heart rate sensor that's stuck to the back of the battery. The battery has double sided tape on the back so lift it carefully to avoid damaging whatever bit below it may be stuck to - there's at least one report of having ripped the accelerometer off the board. I've not tried opening a sealed one, but sealed a devkit with B-6000 glue.

Thanks for the tips and the pictures. I've got it bookedmark. A bad ribbon connection is what I expected, considering if you smack it just right, it works fine. Speaking of which, after the last smack, it's been working fine for 36 hours. So I will probably pop it open if it starts doing it again, and I get annoyed enough to bother. Your picture gives me a good idea of what I am looking at. I'll be sure to document it, as from what I've seen on search, I'm not the only one with this issue on the sealed units.
