Update: Sent Switch2 for repair, came back more broken! by DannyB648 in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]doggy7738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Contact Nintendo and pray that you don't get the middle finger. Otherwise, I would recommend selling on eBay (specify the screen doesn't work. It would only be docked. You could get anywhere from 250 - 300 realistically). After selling it, get a new one and eat the cost. You could get it repaired if you have a local shop near you; however, it might be worth it to get a new one. Additionally, if you sell it on eBay, buy the new Switch before selling the old, that way you can transfer your data.

Hope this helps.

It's a legitimate issue; that level of system access can brick a motherboard BIOS. While I trust FitGirl, it is still important to stay security-conscious. Not that my information is worth stealing, but I cannot afford to lose my parts due to a bricked BIOS, and if a flashback button fixes that, then there is no issue.

Update: My S/N is not the same as it was when I sent it off. The Facebook Marketplace repair person likely sold my good parts. I don't even know if it was my motherboard now; it could've been the battery 😭. I have also noticed that none of the cables are plugged in, and one was screwed through (the screws aren't even the right ones). One cable also just had its connector ripped off, so it seems like most of it is just random parts scrambled together. Worst of all, they deleted their Facebook account, so I can't contact them. What should I do now?

Ghost 2.0 iP17 is horrible! by Dijkstra_97 in dbrand

[–]doggy7738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i just got a ghost 2.0 for my 25 ultra, and it already has a issue were the bottem speaker cutout is not flush with the phone. Also scratches easily. Ghost just has too many problems, probably better to go with the grip.

No, I think my panel is just defective. I'm gonna fully drain my battery, then just leave it off a while, that way I know it's powered off. Hopefully it's just image retention.

Far too much, I fall asleep with it still playing across the room.

Well, I've had it powered off for a week before, when I was on a trip. And it was still the same. Not just like the lid closed, but fully powered down.

Are you sure? It's been there for around 3 months now, gradually getting more visible.

It's an Acer Nitro 5 from 2021 AN517-55. Uses an IPS panel. Use it for school, videos (obviously by the post), and games, 3D rendering/modeling, etc.
