Crud, I just dropped my tablet and the corner of the glass is cracked.

Posted by toblr.2 (aka liioulu) Nov 16 '15, 17:10

And I can't seem to get it of the opening screen.

Is it fried?

Is there anything I can do about it?

If it makes you feel better, my iPad has been operating perfectly with a badly cracked screen for nearly 3 years. -- nm - Subversive Nov 16, 17:58 1
- That helps. The major problem for the moment is that I have to get it home without screwing it up more. - toblr.2 Nov 16, 18:03
Not sounding good. Is the touch screen working at all? - Krusty Nov 16, 17:26 10
- I rebooted it twice and it seems to be working now mostly. I kind of had to carefully push at the cracked part to get the screen to work. - toblr.2 Nov 16, 17:33 9
  - *whew* Glad to hear it. Hopefully you can get it working well again. -- nm - Krusty Nov 16, 17:38
  - They have places around here that replace broken screens on phones and tablets. Not sure how much -- nm - Bacon Nov 16, 17:34 7
    - I'll see what I can find. - toblr.2 Nov 16, 17:37 3
      - Yep, check the customer comments. Batteries Plus does it here. Not sure if that is a National Chain -- nm - Bacon Nov 16, 17:38 2
        
        They are around here. Seems they started in Green Bay. Thanks for the info. -- nm - toblr.2 Nov 16, 17:41 1
        
        Good to hear, hope it works for ya. -- nm - Bacon Nov 16, 17:43
    - Also while you have it working might not be a bad idea to backup the things you would want to save if it broke for good. -- nm - Bacon Nov 16, 17:35 2
      - I've been working on that, so I could update the OS, but I'll have to do a major download to finish that off. - toblr.2 Nov 16, 17:39 1
        
        Yeah pics are always the thing I worry about losing. -- nm - Bacon Nov 16, 17:40
