Coby Tablet: I dropped my tablet on carpet and the screen is messed up

Sat, 15 Jul 2023 15:24:19 -0700

I dropped my coby kyros mid7048 tablet on carpet and the screen is now covered in black spots and black, white and colored lines. Is there any way I'd be able to fix it myself, bring it in somewhere to get it fixed or is it gone for good?

iPad Wi-Fi: dropped ipad and bent corner of aluminum case. is this repairable?

Sat, 18 Sep 2021 14:43:18 -0700

I dropped my ipad. The corner by the volume control bent. The glass did not break but the little rubber gasket looks like it came off the glass slightly. Everything works fine, just looks a little beat up on the corner. Is it possible to reshape the aluminum back or replace it?

iPad 2 Wi-Fi EMC 2415: Power button won't work after wifi & screen replacement

Thu, 16 Jan 2020 06:08:01 -0700

So I had to replace the screen and during the process I ripped the wifi antenna. I ordered that and put it in no problem. Now before applying the Adhesive Strips I wanted to make sure everything worked. I tired holding the power button and it won't turn on (yes all the ribbon cables are attached). I plugged it into a power supply and it booted and the digitizer seemed to work ok, but not the power button. To turn it off I had to unscrew the logic board and lift it from the battery packs. Any ideas?

iPad Mini Wi-Fi: Power button won't put device to sleep

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 10:25:37 -0700

I have ran into a few iPad Minis now where the power button will not put the device to sleep. I have replaced the power flex cable and still have the same result.

If you hold the button down the device will power on or off like normal. Just the sleep function doesn't work.

Any ideas?

BlackBerry PlayBook: Playbook got to 0% battery and now it won't turn on?

Wed, 07 Jul 2021 00:07:31 -0700

My Playbook got to 0% battery and now it won't charge or turn on. What are my options?

A- do you have a solution for me so that I can fix it myself?

B- If not, how much does it cost to get the battery replaced?

C- I didn't buy warranty for it but is there a law that will mean I can still get refunded or a replacement if I bought it under 6 months ago?

Tell me everything you can.

Thanks,

Charley.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi EMC 2415: What would be a good DIY alternative for the iOpener?

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 13:50:42 -0700

I repair iPads all the time, and something like that would be useful. However unfortunately the shipping to where I live and the wait time would just kill it.

Does anyone know what is inside of the bag? I suspect it is made out of cotton with some sort of rice-type material inside.

I have an Android Tablet from Verizon it was working fine all day had at least 80% left on the battery but when I went to go into my game as usual it just froze wouldn't let me touch anything nor would it do anything. Then after I just set it down it went black and wont turn on ever since. I've tried the power button and volume button trick but it didn't work.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0: Why won't apps download on my device?

Thu, 17 Mar 2022 16:16:35 -0700

Ever since yesterday I haven't been able to download anything from the app store, anything I try to download will freeze at anywhere from 80%-96% and then just stops. I have no idea why. My only guess is there's a problem with the device and I need to reset it to factory defaults.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3: My tablet does not recognise my password. HELP!

Mon, 19 Oct 2020 23:36:00 -0700

Over night my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SMT310) has "forgotten" and doesn't recognise my password. I haven't changed it recently so that shouldn't be the problem but I'm now stuck and cant unlock it. If possible I'd like to be able to unlock it without having to do a 'hard reset' or 'factory reset' as I don't want to lose the pictures, videos and documents that are on there. is there anything I can do and can anyone please help. Thank you.
