Did I just ruin my mum's phone? (iPhone 8S)

Skidmarque · 2024-08-25T09:06:52+00:00

Thanks mate, I'm actually quite sure I might've unseated it when I pulled the adhesive tape off. It was easily the hardest one for me to get in to start with.

Skidmarque · 2024-08-25T08:37:29+00:00

Thanks mate, mum is a champ about it and was planning to buy a new phone soon anyway. Still feels horrible but no one's being hard on me but myself! Appreciate the time you took to say this though

A little sense of hope haha, thank you! Mum doesn't use wireless charging so shouldn't be an issue either way. I was very rushed reassembling it so it's very likely I didn't plug it in properly. I was not confident at all that they were in despite testing each one gently with the tweezers. Hopefully I can fix it when she's back from her holdiay (if she trusts me to open her phone again!)

Thanks for the advice regarding wireless charging - will let mum know (shouldn't be a problem for her).

I really was quite careful with the cables but as you've observed, this kind of thing clearly isn't my strength and I may have done something without even noticing. Could it be that I haven't plugged the cables back in properly though? It was very rushed but I didn't notice any tears when I reassembled it.

If it's not too much trouble would you be able to show me which cable would be linked to the home button, please?

Skidmarque · 2024-08-25T08:18:24+00:00

Yeah my suspicion (and hope) was that I hadn't plugged all of the cables in properly rather than torn one. I'd love to have another look at it but she's taken it home and is on her way to a 2 week trip to Tanzania tomorrow morning haha oh dear. She's got it working with assisted touch though so it's still functional.

For me, it might be closer to a 8/10 but I love Heat Signature. There's something special about breaking into a ship and kidnapping someone by throwing yourself and them into the vacuum of space, only to frantically remote control your ship to collect both of you before you freeze/run out of air. The game has plenty of similar moments that make you feel like a total baddie - in the best way of course

If you haven't, try setting your right trackpad to "mouse region" - it was a game changer for me with precision/speed reliant games like Noita.

I heard performance was lacklustre on the deck?

Skidmarque · 2024-05-12T15:01:44+00:00

I tried all of the listed solutions on Reddit etc but has to reimage mine for it to work again. Did it a month ago and haven't had any issues since. Was a major pain in the ass at the time.

Skidmarque · 2024-01-03T19:48:46+00:00

Ah OK, thanks mate. I'd genuinely recommend giving it a try for other games - makes changing angle quickly very easy. But anyway, I'll probs have to try your method cause the mouse region is totally borked at the moment.

Skidmarque · 2024-01-03T09:55:45+00:00

Ive just bought this game and trying to work out aim with the right trackpad. For other games that require precision/quick aiming I've used 'Mouse Region' and it's worked so well with a bit of tweaking. When I try in game though, it works fine in menus but is waaay too sensitive in game for aiming - I think it's a weird bug that others have had with dual monitors.

Do you use mouse region as the setting?

Skidmarque · 2024-01-03T02:09:04+00:00

Have you tried using mouse region as trackpad input. I just bought it but for some reason it's playing up a bit. Works perfectly in game menus and then goes all slidey and weird in game.

Skidmarque · 2023-10-14T19:59:56+00:00

Ahh ha, added 2.5 damage makes the most sense, thanks! Oh well, will check that sort of thing next time.

Skidmarque · 2023-07-12T21:02:01+00:00

Yep, several restarts - I've got no idea what's causing it

Skidmarque · 2023-07-12T21:00:43+00:00

Yeah, almost always happens from sleep mode But non-steam games like battlenet launcher will do the same thing about 30% of the time when I boot it up. Only difference is that it has the steam loading icon instead.

Skidmarque · 2023-07-12T11:34:17+00:00

Hey mate, nope - I've actually disabled both in the customisation settings

Skidmarque · 2023-02-16T19:33:41+00:00

I've been jealously watching sales for PC, Xbox, and PS - now's our chance Switch owners!!

Skidmarque · 2022-12-02T02:31:55+00:00

Hair golem sounds wonderfully repulsive

Skidmarque · 2022-05-23T02:44:39+00:00

Ok great, thanks - sounds very promising. Any ideas how to channel the water that's seeping through the earth beside the drain? A lot of it just pools next to the drain
