So good news my cable just arrived so my tablet is charging, and bad news the cord was not the only problem and now I'm sure of it due to how it's charging. So my issue was actually what I feared. I own a Cintiq Companion 1 and it has a well known charging port failure issue that has no fixes. This is due to how the port was built and nothing will change even if I send it in for repairs sadly. So I'm going to be looking into a new Tablet. This one has served me well over the 5 years I've owned it but I'm not getting another of its model due to this error.
But seeing as it can at least charge I can safely extract all my files and get finished works out there tonight and tomorrow hopefully while I look into replacements. I'll have to make due using it in this odd way until I get a new one in. So work might slow a bit but Ill be semi back in order. I'm thinking I go with a full upgrade but it still need to be small so I can carry it to and from my work locations. //I don't drive so I need to be able to get it in my bag and on a train.
So like that's my update on the Tablet issue, hopefully It picks easier cable charging positions later cause I don't think my mom is going to be happy seeing her vases commandeered as Cord position presses.

I'm lucky in the fact that me and my grandma had a deal about funding my school supplies, She has been giving me 200 a semester to help pay for them if I needed or I was allowed to save it for when I graduated as her gift. My work was mostly digital and the few text books I needed I either owned from before or found super cheap. I've very rarely used those funds so I'll probably go ask to use them to pay off a bulk of the tablet.
Do you know how much memory the Gaomon PD1560 has? My biggest concern is finding one with enough power to handle the 3-D modeling programs like maya and my animation programs like Harmony/toon boom studios as well as the drawing. I'll admit mine was starting to struggle so more memory would be the number one priority.

Noted! Jeez that sucks, I guess they just wanted the money. Resetting can only fix so much. My mom once had to call Whoever had manufactured our Computer which had caught on fire and the guy asked her to try turning it on to see if it really wouldn't start... She hung up and kept calling until someone finally listen to her. DX
yeah they sent me custom software versions that still crashed every 30 minutes and i had to restart for 5 minutes to get back to work, i even have some videos of that up on youtube.
and not only that, they also made my pc crash twice. the pc hadnt crashed in 2 years
sooooo
yeah
for a lot of people the tablets seem to work just fine, but i wouldnt risk it again.
