Tablet Issues
10 years ago
General
So really bad news, my tablet has appeared to have died on me, im gonna try and see if I can fix it, but if not I will have to post pone all orders and current commissions till some of my adopts sell so that I can purchase a new tablet, I feel super annoyed, it decided to bust in the middle of some practice work I posted (pixel kei) I hate that its doing this especially since my art is how I make my money and I am in desperate need of it. Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hmm. Did it just cut out entirely or has it been losing responsiveness over time?

OP
its been getting a bit unresponsive as time has gone by, ive had it for about 5 years, the pad itself decided it didnt want to register the pen correctly anymore, It will rapidly zoom in and out, twitch uncontrollably and select control without even being touched. I tried messing with the cord/pen/drivers, but no fix, seems the pad has just gone to hell

Apparently those have a known issue with the USB port slowly dying over time. It's fixable, but depending on the fix price, it may be cheaper to get a new tablet. If you know anybody who handily solders electronics, they may be able to do a simple port transplant for you....just yank a port from an old cellphone or something?
