Gee, that's tough. Hm. So she's a lady. Not just once, not just twice but ... three times a lady?

I used to have a Commodore as a home computer but it wasn't very musical or ladylike, not three times anyway!

I gave Herself a 10.5 Samsung tablet for Christmas...and she's complaining today that it's not working properly - the touch screen is sometimes zooming on a single finger, and some jigsaw puzzle pieces aren't picking up properly. So in the interests of peace and quiet I have a look - works fine for me, until I tilt it.
Cracked, right the way across. Sigh. At least it's only the digitiser, the LCD looks fine so I'll see if I can get her a new one.
Which means I'll have to replace it...I'm not really looking forward to dismantling it: it's only 6mm thick and that includes the battery.

it looks like a Pain to pull them apart.
There several videos online.
I don't envy you that task.

It does indeed.
But I suspect it's the reassembly that's going to be the difficult bit!

yea trying to get all of those tiny wires back into the right place for one.

After reassembly's the best part.
That's when you find that the device is so happy with what you've done that it's decided to give you little pieces of itself as gifts.

Releasing the ultra fragile cable connectors has generally been my bane with dismantling electronics; especially since there're both flip 90* hinge and lift strait up 1mm types and the how to videos almost never show enough detail to tell them apart. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

These things just aren't what they are cracked up to be. Take two tablets (pref not 10.5" ones).

May seem obvious, but when I need to disassemble anything nowadays, I take a lot of pics at every stage. Makes it a lot easier to figure out where those little extra bits came from
Plus with my eyesight as it is, I can also zoom into the picture and actually see what I am taking apart...

Pics are on my list, as will the webcam pointed at the board.

I know that feeling! 3 pairs of glasses now: walking, reading, and computer ones...
But I also have one of these: Draper 80503 22-Watt Fluorescent Magnifying Lamp: Amazon.co.uk: Lighting[^] but mine is 20 of years old now. Damn useful for soldering as well!

When I ask a question, I have to refresh my browser to see if anyone has replied.
On most sites you can get an Email Notification when someone posts to your question.
any help appreciated

Here it also works this way...
Have you provided a good mail address?
You should receive a mail each time someone answers you.
You can see a number top/right just near your user name with the number of unseen answers to your posts.
And you can do what you are doing, but...
check in your user name you settings and there the newsletters and emails configuration...
Hope this helps.

Thank you. You were right about the email address. I had a typo in it.
Thanks a lot for your help

Right under the textbox where you enter your question, there's a checkbox with the label "E-mail me if someone replies to this message".

So there's this commercial that says "Don't drink or smoke."
I drink once in a while so I had to start smoking

It's like the London Underground where escalators have signs saying "Dogs must be carried". This is a problem for those of us who don't have dogs.
