    Broken tablet screen & associated issues

    Sorry, I didn't spot your update arrive. In addition I've yet to order a full new screen either. Each day goes by, I intend to order again, but come the end of the day and I've not got around to it. (I think the refurb replacement has made things less urgent, plus the unfortunate start to try to...

    Have received the refund. Still have glass; maybe it'll come in useful in the future, but probably not. So that bit went well anyway. I wasn't convinced I'd get it. I will need to find time to try again, then, but it'll be more expensive than that last one.

    I have the app. It seemed to be obligatory to open a dispute. A couple of days ago AliExpress got involved, stated my complaint was valid, and suggested a refund. I accepted. Heard nothing more since.

    Not really. That AliExpress app is awful to navigate or find things. And seems obligatory to open a dispute. I had another useless correspondence via the dispute facility a few days ago but could find no way to respond. Came across 2 buttons, one which apparently is for agreeing, which was a...

    Unsure I recognise the background, but that was the selected reason, yes.

    Broken tablet screen & associated issues

    Not much. As mentioned, all that came was the glass. Complained, was told by the seller that was what I bought. I responded it wasn't, it was what came. Today discovered seller had sent handshake icon, I responded that I wasn't interested. AliExpress app, which one is obliged to install to...

    Broken tablet screen & associated issues

    I didn't spot a contact button (they seem very keen on buttons since their e-mails often have them to indicate something, such as the last e-mail had one to confirm receipt, but I needed to write this issue down). Before I'd received that last one I took a chance and replied to a previous...

    Well, it arrived, earlier than estimated. Knew I ought not have trusted such a price. All it was, was the ruddy glass screen. No connections, so it sure isn't going to fix it. It's not so much the waste of money, it's the large time delay as I now have to start again.

    Indeed. But at the price one can't help but be nervous. As an aside, the hub I ordered recently should arrive sometime today, so I should be able to plug the HDMI lead, and both a mouse and a keyboard in at once, connect it to the broken tablet and a TV/monitor, and confirm whether it gives...

    I hope I'm wrong but the more I think of it, at the price, I'm beginning to suspect all they might send is a screen protection, rather than the screen itself. If so that'll be a following order, and no receipt until the middle of January next year.

    Same tablet. (She doesn't have one.) The one with the broken screen. I'm still trying to get to stuff from it while waiting for a new screen. The difference seems to be with the PCs. (Although I suppose the cable at hers might differ somehow. Only just thought of that. Going back to hers later...

    Broken tablet screen & associated issues

    An aside. I see one can get Smart Switch for the PC so thought I'd give it a try to hopefully transfer the broken screen tablet to the recon one. (That would solve a lot of present problems.) Turns out it claimed the tablet wasn't set for data transfer ! And it wanted me to set up something on...

    Ok, took a deep breath and ordered the cheap screen replacement from your link. I suspect at that price I've probably just contributed to some scam, but I shall find out mid-December. I will need to try cabling the reconditioned tablet to a monitor or TV next, see if it fairs any better than...

    Broken tablet screen & associated issues

    Ah. Well the mobile I substituted failed miserably to get a picture to the TV too. Meanwhile I'm hoping to get a reconditioned tablet tomorrow. Won't have my data of course, but it may give more options for testing. As for UK sourced screens, I haven't found any yet. Those who show them are...

    Broken tablet screen & associated issues

    I have found the original box. It is an SM-T830 according to the sticker on it. I need to make a decision then. I'm less than enamoured at buying from China. Not always had good experiences doing that, plus, although postage claims to be free, it will apparently take a month to reach me. So I...
