Repairing Tablet Computers

[Roger M. Jenson]

At a MLUG meeting Rick showed me that his tablet computer needed
repairs. Today I learned that IFIXIT (ifixit.com) is not only a tool and
parts source, it has repair guides that walk you through the disassembly
with the proper tools that they have available for sale on their
website. I will definitely use this site in the future.

Having Fun,
Roger M. Jenson

I remember how excited I was when I got my first set of spudgers :)

Roger,

A little research into "bulging screen surface pro" shows that the problem is not a bad installation of the broken screen but probably a component that has swelled.  I have stabilized the screen - it is ugly but works fine.  In the meantime, my first use of the foot pedal (for page advance) worked perfectly at my ukelele club.

Thanks,

Rick

Hello Rick,

It's a good thing when technology works as designed.

Have Fun,

Isn't that usually a battery problem? If so, it's not safe to keep using it.
