Dying Tablet, unsure when I can get a replacement
a year ago
General
Small update, don't usually post these here
Today I plugged my tablet to continue commission work and the cursor wouldn't move, suddenly it moved again and when moving it near the right side of the screen it jumps about an inch to the right near the edge of the screen, that only happens on the right side of the tablet. If lift the pen off the tablet and bring it close again, the cursor will stop moving. Drivers are updated, the pen I currently have is a semi new replacement I got not very long ago, so it's not a pen issue. It's not the cable either, it's in good condition. It's not my USB ports either, all 3 USB ports in my laptop are working correctly, the only conclusion is that the tablet itself is starting to die. I originally bought it in August of 2017 so it lasted just over 7 years, not a bad run for how much I paid for it back then.
However, this leaves me without a way to draw for the time being, pretty bad timing considering I have plenty of comms to work on and I kind of need that money lol.
Best case scenario I can buy one right away tomorrow, I'm still looking on the internet if I can locally buy the same model I have- I can't exactly buy one from Ebay and wait a month for it to arrive here.
I'll sort this out, just very innoportune timing as usual, bad things ALWAYS happens when I'm in the middle of working on commissions for some reason I swear. Last year it was dog bites on both of my hands, now it's my tablet dying lol.
