do your best

ippe (she/he/they)

i was working on an illustrtion when the screen pixellated then went black, at first if i pushed the power button it would show the wacom charging screen, but now its completely unresponsive.

if i leave it plugged into AC power its power light will occasionally go red, but no matter what i can’t get the power button to respond or any stuff to otherwise…stop, start, make a noise, whatever.

i’m really disappointed because the deadline for the fanzine i was working on is the 14th of november, and i’m sure that if i sent it into wacom 1) i wouldn’t get it back by then 2) all of the files i had stored on it would be wiped

i also can’t find anything out about this problem online aside from a single video of someone going through a similar(?) thing w theirs and…it says they fixed it but i cant for the life of me figure out how 

ive let the battery die entirely then plugged it in to try and  get it to start up, ive taken it apart to see if anything went awry with connections in the machine itself, and ive pressed the power button so many times i think ive made an imprint of it on my thumb by now

also: ive done what the vid says will put it in recovery mode it just didnt seem to work…at all. it definitely died. it just won’t start up again whatsoever now, r.i.p

does anyone…by any chance…know wtf could be wrong with this tablet, because it’s driving me up the wall
