Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0: Why won't my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 turn on?

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 06:07:49 -0700

I was in the middle of checking Facebook when my tablet randomly turned off despite being fully charged. I left it charging for more than 3 days and still nothing. I tried holding down the buttons and even connecting it to the computer to see if my computer would recognize my tablet, but still nothing. Can anyone give me some tips on what to do?

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 05:50:00 -0700

Anyways, I updated my laptop from windows 8 to windows 10. I would log onto the laptop and my touchpad would work for like a minute. Then all of a sudden, it won't work. I tried fn+f9 and mostly everything else but it just won't work. It won't let me move my cursor ANYWHERE and I can't click anything.

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 20:19:08 -0700

Today I downloaded a .zip (1% Battery Mod) file from this page:

http://www.galaxyyarchive.info/2013/07/1...

I went to recovery mode and clicked 'apply update from .zip file' and opened that downloaded file. Then i rebooted my phone again. Since then, whenever i turn on my phone it keeps flashing Samsung continuously and doesn't start.

What should I do?

Epson Printer: Error says paper jam, but there is not. What could cause this?

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 06:31:56 -0700

I have an Epson Artisan 837 all in one. It was working perfectly fine yesterday. Today it is telling me I have a paper jam. I went through the steps it told me to take 3 times. There is no paper jammed anywhere! Each time I finish the steps and turn it back on, it makes a grinding sound, then I get the same paper jam error message. I need some helpful advice if anyone has seen this before, please tell me what I should do.

iPhone 5: iPhone 5 front glass panel separating/lifting away from body?

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 01:32:29 -0700

Very oddly, on my iPhone 5, I noticed the entire front panel/glass/LCD/digitizer assembly is separating or detaching from the body at the top right corner.

It appears to be otherwise intact. It is still functional.

I have never dropped the device on anything other than carpet from farther than a few feet.

There is approximately a 1-2mm visible gap between the bottom of the glass panel and the top of the metal surrounding strip.

Pushing the panel back into the body causes the panel to flex a little, but it does not stay in place.

Any ideas about what happened and how it might be possible to fix it?

Thanks for your comment!

I keep it in a Mophie case, in a front pant pocket or a suit breast pocket. Between the rigid case and where I keep it, I don't think the case is bent as the rear panel is quite flat still.

What I meant by "flex" is that I can push the corner down so it is true to the back panel, but it doesn't stay in place.

iPhone 6: Touch ID not working after screen replacement?

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 02:32:32 -0700

I have made a screen replacement on my iPhone 6. Now the touch ID does not work any more. I have read that if the home button flex cable is damaged, this can occur. Is that really so? The button itself is working just fine.

I know for a fact that the home button can not be replaced because then touch id will not work, plus you can never upgrade the phone again without getting a error 53. Can you confirm this?

So my last question. Can I replace the home button flex cable or is that also coded to the chip or home button touch id?

iPhone 4: iPhone 4 is working but screen is black?

Sun, 08 Jun 2025 09:30:24 -0700

Yesterday I dropped my phone, and it was working fine when I picked it up to check it, but a few minutes later the screen went black. I know it was still working, because I was still receiving phone calls, texts, and mail. I even took a picture with it.

I've tried holding the home and lock button. I also tried holding the lock button while constantly pressing the home button, but I think the problem with this is that my home button barely worked before the drop. I've tried to reset it and put it in DFU mode, but nothing is working. :( Note that I can't take it to the shop because it's jailbroken.

Alcatel One Touch Sonic: My phone wont turn on or charge. How can I fix it?

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 02:44:18 -0700

I put my phone on the charger like I do every night. It was charging. Then when I woke up My phone screen was black. It wouldn't turn on. So I unplugged it thinking that maybe it died on the charger and it just stopped charging in the middle of the night. I took out the battery for 5 minutes thinking that it would maybe conduct some type of charge. I put back in the battery and tryed to turn it back on and it would not work. I don't know what to do. My phone has everything important to me on there. How can I fix it?

I have an iPad that's stuck on the Apple logo. I tried restoring it in DFU, recovery mode, and cooked-up custom firmware, all with the same result. The screen just keeps turning on and off on the Apple logo, and can't seem to get past it. The phone just keeps throwing error 9. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. The only other thing left to do is to change the ic. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
