Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1: Why does my tablet respond to S-Pen but not my fingers?

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 08:28:20 -0700

I just finished repairing one problem I had, where the screen gets all discolored. Once I closed it up and started it, it would not respond to my touch, nothing. I tried the S-Pen and it worked fine. Does anyone know what could have caused this? I reopened it and check the ribbon connections, the only one that looks questionable was the central ribbon cable. Now, I don't know much about electronics, but I noticed that on all the other connectors for the ribbon cables, there was a locking switch. I don't think the connection this ribbon cable has one, and I fear that out of ignorance I may have damaged the connector attempting to flip the non-existent locking mechanism. I believe this to be the cable that connects to the front screen (Not the LCD), and is what is used to communicate the touch input. So I think this is where my problem lies. Can someone enlighten me with their perspective on this issue? I think it must be a damaged connector (requiring me to get a replacement motherboard), the ribbon cable isn't fully connected (tried my best), or something else I am not seeing. Hopefully it is fixable, I would hate to have to scrap a tablet just after 5 months of use. Could it possibly be a broken or damaged digitizer? I have dropped it a few times.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus: Black dots on camera appearing...

Sat, 15 Aug 2026 10:29:07 -0700

Why does my Samsung tablet's rear camera shows black dots? No, it's not an issue on the screen, it can be an issue on the rear camera itself. Replacing the camera myself could put a risk on breaking the screen...

Galaxy Tab S6: Why won't my tablet turn on? Hard reset not working.

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 06:31:52 -0700

I was switching between apps when my tablet froze. I restarted it and it all seemed normal, until it got stuck on the samsung logo page. It kept reloading only up to that point before it turned black. I tried pressing the power button and lower volume button to restart it, didn't work either. Is there anyway to get it to work again, or at least get access to my data on it?

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

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 16:23:02 -0700

When I plug in my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 to charge, there is an X over the energy symbol if there is more than 50% of charge left. If I restart my Tab when it shows it is less than 50% charged and then plug it in, it will start to charge. If I don't restart it, there is an X over the energy symbol. If the battery is completely depleted, it will still charge—but very slowly.
