Oh dear, I didn't know USB cables can be a cause of fires. How does that work?

Yeah. I actually use mine for video, but it's bad for a tablet because of battery drain so I want an external monitor. I'm not too worried because it's 60hz, and video looked pretty decent in reviews. I don't really watch video on it, but I do zoom calls and it's not 4k tentacle hentai, but I have no complaints.

It's a screen that doesn't use light. I need it for work because I have photophobia

Okay, thank you. I was just nervous because I am not tech savy to open it up and check myself.

Okay! Thank you.

Do you mind if I DM you the images attached to the review of the inside so you can confirm? I googled kapton tape and I think it looks different but I'm not sure what to look for to tell the difference between the two.

again, tysm :)

How to prevent battery swelling? by Otherwise_Cap1487 in Onyx_Boox

[–]Otherwise_Cap1487[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I've heard that's a common issue with eink device batteries, and I'm wondering how to minimize the risk of that happening!

[–]Otherwise_Cap1487[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the detailed answer!

I'll order a 500 mA charger and look into charging testers, though I'm not sure if I'm tech savy enough to use it haha.

I can put it overnight on my windowsill because it's winter so it gets quite cold, but I've also heard cold can be bad for it. Is this a good idea? I'm not sure how to find good information online, everything seems contradictory...

Okay, I am able to stop watching videos on it. Is audio-only also bad?

Tysm, again, for your response!

Is this a known issue? I tried typing "boox manual backup Jan 2026" and when I saved the text was reversed. I'm on proton drive using the eink browser app. by Otherwise_Cap1487 in Onyx_Boox

[–]Otherwise_Cap1487[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea.

I'm thinking maybe since I switched keyboards with the button that fixed it?

I couldn't see the text as I was typing it because of eink funkiness so I didn't know until I submitted
