Broken Tablet

Things are thankfully back up and running on my end - Panda City tech support is a heaven sent group of people. Thank you for being so dang supportive - it really means a lot and helped me keep it together. I really, really appreciate it.

YOU'RE THE FREAKING BEST PAUL THE WORLD COULD USE MORE OF YOU

Meg Syv

ugh geez man it felt like I was going to have an arm amputated or something eesh Miraculously, tech support whiz was able to troubleshoot it and help me get it working again. Power cord issue. But we're back up and running, baby. Thank you so, so much for your support. I really can't express how much it meant to me.

Meg Syv

You can write really sweet and supportive comments offering or asking how you can help. <3

Luckily, everything has been resolved and the tablet is working again (hhhuuuurrrgggggggg) Everything on my hard drive is backed up on a bi-weekly basis, so even if the thing explodes (God forbid), it shouldn't be too huge of a tragedy (unless something happens to my external hard drive). Thank you so much for being so supportive. It really means a lot, man. I can't properly express it.

Meg Syv

ugh geez you guys are making me emotional in the best and most embarrassing way Thank you so freaking much for upping your pledge like that - but I want to make sure you know that everything's fine so that you can change it again if you want. I really appreciate it. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Since I literally just got off an email thread with a tech support person I can confirm that it was indeed a power cord issue. All hail Shield Generator and his superior research skills!

I DO NOT DESERVE YOU, PERFECT PERSON Augh, geez, thank heavens - the tablet's working again. Thank you so freaking much for upping your pledge like that - but I want to make sure you know that everything's fine so that you can change it again if you want. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

Meg Syv

Thank you, guys. I love you so muuuccchhhh

Meg Syv

oh dang, let me know if you need help.

Isa and Meg, the Namesake Team,

Aww no that's horrible. I'm sorry that's happening to you. :( Reinstall the tablet driver maybe? Is the wire loose? I'm willing to up my pledge if you need a new tablet. Just keep us updated

I did a little searching around just now, but I didn't see anything useful, except for maybe this thread: <a href="http://forum.deviantart.com/technology/hardware/1822105/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://forum.deviantart.com/technology/hardware/1822105/</a>

Is there a way to hard reset it? In Windows PCs, holding the power button for about 10 seconds usually shuts it down and forces it to reboot

Upped pledge (see Sturzkampf). Hope it helps. P. Warren is right.

Tom Ploeger

Would a small extra donation help? It's not like I can afford to buy you a new tablet, but if we all chip in $5 it should go a long way. Tell me you haven't lost any artwork, on top of losing your archive last week.

That Sucks Meg

Is there anything we can does to help?

Folly

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that you're having so much trouble. A broken tablet is pretty much a digital artist's worst nightmare. I'll try to help in any way I can, though!

:( this will all be just a footnote one day. Tell life to stfu (keep it censored it not. Up to you) and continue your art regardless. Show it that hardships will not get you down!

Good luck. :( it sounds like it has been awful. If there is anything we can do, let us know! In the meantime, here's to hoping things start getting better for you as soon as possible. My thoughts are with you.
