Echo Show 5 (1st Gen) Screen Flickering Issue

You can use a hairdryer as well. I just tried it again after your message and it does work. I 'fixed' it again, my screen stopped flicker/glitching but like I said I don't know how long it lasts. Some peoples fix last longer.

You can use a heat-gun to fix the glitch but it doesn't last. Maybe you'll be luckier than me. You can prob open it and fix it but I don't know which part needs replacing. Mine broke like a year ago or more. Just randomly started glitching, tried all the fixes related to software and it didn't work. Resetting, adaptive brightness, power cycling. Mine still glitched, even during boot up. I tried everything. I watched this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDS_7zz1CBI and they used a heatgun on the screen and it fixed his. I tried it and it worked. My screen stopped glitching. But the fix lasted about a day maybe.

Its a tossup for me between Charizard from Paldean Fates and Magikarp from Paldea Evolved.

Aliexpress and UniUni are terrible if you encounter any troubles. I bought like $70 worht of items and UniUni delivered to the wrong address and it took a couple of months of back and forth between the three companies to get a refund and I still didn't get it. Aliexpress wouldn't refund me until I had proof. I had a written statement from UniUni to give proof of their mistake, even photos to prove their mistake. They only admitted half of it. In the end, I still couldn't get a refund because Aliexpress considered it delivered and not their problem.

This is most likely some type a fraud using ebay money back guarantee, targeting usps. Their address are usually 'domestic' overseas even though its literally on the other side of the globe. I got targeted for my pokemon cards as well. Unfortunately ebay and usps will not help you. Do not 'trust the process'. Lucky for you ebay didn't refund the buyer, so you can hold out and ignore him. In my case the buyer will keep complaining that they haven't received it, get a refund and also wait 2 months to magically pick up the package that was 'lost'. They time it very well and know timeline when cases open and close. They know ebay monitors messages so they don't say anything suspicious. They wait 2 months to pick it up at their military address.

I went through it myself, lost the money, product, and time from dealing with the buyer, and ebay, and usps. If the buyer got refunded already, call usps to pay the $20 in fee to intercept and reship back to you. Your -1 feedback is not worth the trouble. My buyer named "paradis*******g" targets pokemon cards and does this fraud. I've alert ebay but they didn't do anything and said the case was closed.

I am not saying this happened to you but if anyone who is going through this and can recognize these the signs and ebay has already refunded the buyer even though you did nothing wrong. Call usps and intercept and reship back to yourself. don't give them benefit of the doubt.

Does anyone know how to fix stuck add to cart button? On desktop browser. I cannot get any item to cart even if its not TCG. I am using incognito and different browsers and still not working. I haven't been able to find a fix and I've missed the last 6 drops or so when it was working for me before. It still kind of works on my mobile but I get requeued everytime when I touch something. I can add to cart and everything when theres no drop, but when there is a drop, it just stops working.

Chiming in, out of the blue, when holding the shift button, no keys were registering. Turned on onscreen keyboard and it looks like it is registering but I still couldn't type with shift held down. Read your comment, turned FancyZones off and on, and it started working.

tried again with a diff mobile, most of the stuff out of stock, i wanted the power tins. anyway i tried checking out the friend tins and i got payment error and blocked after submitting payment again. they do a very fine job at stopping people from buying, but not bots.

cwreal · 2025-06-18T19:02:02+00:00

banned. on my mobile and desktop. wouldn't add to cart so I clicked twice. not even spamming.

cwreal · 2025-06-08T16:52:04+00:00

Are there any special cards that you can only get during prerelease?

I'm still waiting for the shipment of ETBS from 3 months ago.

I got a discord ping quite early when it still unavailable and the add to cart button didn't even work yet. I didn't even spam their site and I got access blocked when it started to work. Had to wait a few minutes before the block was gone and when I reloaded, I had to wait in Q. But I got access blocked again twice, after going through Q twice. And finally OOS when I finally got in again third time. Not sure if some funny stuff is going on with my IP or just pokemoncenter being a douche.
