I'm currently rocking a non-magnetic Ringke Onyx and it's been my go-to slim case for my phones. I'm thinking of upgrading to a version with magnets, so I can get into the magnetic accessory ecosystem, but how bad is the ring making circular marks on these TPU cases?
I was riding in a very cold vehicle and once I got out, there's condensation under the glass. The condensation went away after a couple of minutes, and the glass seems pristine. I don't see any water droplets or any persistent signs of liquid under the glass. Is this a sign I need to replace the gasket or something? I've had this watch for 6 years and admittedly I rarely take rides with cold air conditioning.
It happens whenever (around 5 out of 10 attempts) I put the s-pen back in, and as the clicker recoils after letting go, it sounds like it's scraping against the phone's frame and making this scratchy feel, and I get that goosebump like reaction when you handle Styrofoam.
I bought an ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS 1440p 180Hz gaming monitor last November and I've been noticing this random black out for the past 3 months. This has never once happened to my previous monitor, a BenQ ZOWIE 1080p 144 Hz which I've been using for over a decade.
When I'm just browsing or watching videos (never during gaming surprisingly), the monitor would black out for a couple of seconds. I thought it's just a driver issue by AMD so I paid it no mind and believing it would fix itself. The problem persists and ended up noticing it a bit more when turning on the lights--especially with the computer on in the afternoon and needed to turn on the lights when it's nearing night time. This is random however because it doesn't happen every night, but whenever I flip on the switch, I always look at the monitor for a black out and 1:10, the black out happens. Like at least once a week.
Is this interference and how do I fix it? People say I should try using some ferrite cores for the monitor's power cable, but I need your input.
Connection set up:
Monitor -> power strip -> grounded cable -> home socket
Ditto for PC:
PC -> same power strip -> same grounded cable -> same home socket
Important context: my home is very old with an old electrical system, and that's why I created a grounded line before connecting to the home socket. Saved me from getting shocked by my aluminum frame mechanical keyboard for 20 years now actually.
Addendum: the random black outs prior to me noticing that the light switch also causes the black out were likely from light or appliance switches getting flipped somewhere in the house by a family member.
I've placed my S26U beside my Tab S8 and I noticed that the tablet screen (turned off) has deeper black in color while the S26U screen looks a bit gray-ish. Both are using Ringke tempered glass protectors, yeah.
This is driving me nuts because it's hard to replicate it.
In a rare event, whenever I flip the light switch on, the monitor goes black for 1-2 seconds, and I can't reliably replicate it because it feels like the monitor randomly decides when to black out when the switch is flipped.
-reseat the display port cable
-secure the power cable
-plug power cable in a different socket in my power strip
-it still happens
This happened on my ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS monitor (1440p, 180Hz), and this never happened to my old BenQ 144Hz 1080p monitor. What the hell is happening? Is the monitor broken?I'm suspecting it's a kind of electrical interference and a ferrite core can fix this or get a high quality DP cable. But before I do anything stupid, I want to know what's the likely cause of this issue I'm experiencing.
