Posted February 6, 2012 I'm going to have to send my tabelt back, the cable has fucked up to the point of only being able to detect it for a second before it goes "offline". Booo. At the moment I'm having to use the cable I use to connect my Blackberry to my PC, but that isn't the Goddam point! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 6, 2012 Why not just tell them its an issue with the cable and only send that back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 6, 2012 You already need new nibs? I've had my tablet since I was 18 or something and I've only had to replace the nibs once. Guess they don't make things like they used to anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 6, 2012 You already need new nibs? I've had my tablet since I was 18 or something and I've only had to replace the nibs once. Guess they don't make things like they used to anymore. Well it came with four, I've had to replace it once. It wore down to almost pencil sharpness and started marking the surface, so it's got a piece of paper stuck to it.

Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Well it came with four, I've had to replace it once. It wore down to almost pencil sharpness and started marking the surface, so it's got a piece of paper stuck to it. That's quick... Mine didn't even come with any nibs, I had to order some on ebay a few years ago, don't think my tablet is even being made anymore. =P Edited February 6, 2012 by Eenuh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 6, 2012 FUCK. I got some shitty virus. Calling itself "Security Shield" it keeps saying I've got all these viruses and I've gotta pay to make the popups stop. And the fucking internet is giving me shit to stop it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 6, 2012 That's quick... Mine didn't even come with any nibs, I had to order some on ebay a few years ago, don't think my tablet is even being made anymore. =P At work, we figured out that the textured finish on the tablets we use wears away at the nib really quickly. Once the tablet itself is worn smooth (through normal use), it goes through nibs slower. We go through nibs like crazy during the first month or so with a new tablet, then it settles down. We do use our tablets an awful lot at work though, so it may take longer through casual use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 6, 2012 Use another computer/your phone/something to view this page and follow the instructions: http://www.spywareremove.com/removesecurityshield.html I did have that already open on this computer. And then I thought it was going to mess me around, because after a scan which actually found something [two previous programs I tried downloading couldn't start up] it wanted me to pay to clean it up. But I remember what someone said that they could find the file and slam in the recycle bin, luckily that program was able to give me the directory for it. All seems to be well, thankies! I'll buy j00 a drink whenever we meet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 6, 2012 That's good, sounds less troublesome than a virus I removed a few months back - Win 7 Security, or something. I had to mess around with changing file extensions and actively killing processes before I could open a browser. : peace: I clearned that up at work last week - you need safe mode with networking, then (in order) Rkill, TDSKiller, Malwarebytes and finally Unhide.

We do use our tablets an awful lot at work though, so it may take longer through casual use. I have used mine a loooooooooot, not just casually from time to time. Honestly the entire cover is showing serious signs of being used for such a long time (there's this use... spot where I draw and rest my hand heh). But my tablet cover was never textured, it's always been smooth. Like I said, they probably just make them differently now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 6, 2012 Whoa, that sounds like overkill :s If it's the same one I think it is, it's a real fucker.

Can I not be safe in my own really lazy effort? I'm backing up a load of shit onto the External HD anyway. If it's the same one I think it is, it's a real fucker.

I was able to catch on because I was looking for Wordpress tips and it suddenly said the download was complete, and plus the window was the awful blue XP theme, I've gone with the nice silver bars.

Posted February 7, 2012 Only had to dodge 2 calls from my boss today. He's not pleasant on the phone so I'm not answering his calls. No doubt he'll be trying to coerce me to come into the office to do work for him which he'll try as hard as possible not to pay me for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
