Have you guys had instances where the legion go 2 backplate tabs break off from disassembly?

​

So from my last post, I was worried about possible corrosion on the pcb from my cat spilling a bit of green tea near my legion go 2. Against my better judgement i decided to open it up and see if there was any damages etc. The good news there wasnt any traces I could see but the bad news I saw I broke 2 clips on it. I know some of you say its normal etc but im kinda pissed since I tried to keep this thing in immaculate condition. Is this common? Is it worth getting a new backplate and swapping the retail stickers on it like the serial number etc? I knew i should have let geek squad do it but i was worried they might break it off and not notice or not tell me while they reassemble it in their back office. So purely just trying to cope and tell myself its not tainted. (I have ocd btw)

Some green tea got into my legion go 2 that works but still have concerns

Some green tea got into my legion go 2 that works but still have concerns

My cat jumped around and splashed a bit of green tea on my legion go 2 top part like 6 weeks ago or so. Lenovo sent me new controllers for free so I have 2 pair. And the device seems ok but should I still exchange it to best buy? The device still works perfectly but I am paranoid with ocd and all. Is there any concern of latent defect? I did try to suck the liquid out asap when it happened but idk

PSA: Fix for legion go 2 controllers not responding upon reboot and waking up after entering sleep mode

For legion go 2 controllers not working on reboot thanks to @andycabrera17.

-uninstall windows preview update -684

For legion go 2 not waking up after entering sleep mode and solid white forcing you to do a hard reset

-lenovo told me to download latest amd chipset drivers

-go into bios and go back to default settings. I suspect it was because I had amd v disabled but idk.

After reboot legion go 2 controllers dont respond to steam big picture mode or xbox mode unless I start legion space.

I cant remember if I always had legion space open in the background or not upon startup but when I try to boot into big picture mode for steam or xbox the controllers dont work unless I start legion. Space. Is this a bug or some setting I need to change? I could have sworn I had this working without legion space.

Should trade in my iphone 16 pro max for z fold wide while keeping my z fold 6 and s25 ultra?

I am primarily a samsung windows guy and my main phone is the s25 ultra. I use the iphone for work and z fold for udc uninterrupted viewing, movies Manga, anime, 3ds emulation with the s pen etc.

But since I have a macbook that pairs with the iphone im not sure if I should still trade it for the z fold 8 wide. But the iphone and macbook dont really talk to eachother as i rarely get texts or calls to make use of the integration features. Shoukd I trade it or keep it to diversify the phone os line up?

Would these be good productivity and battery life?

I saw that the g14 is on sale but not sure if its worth pulling the trigger. I have a z13, gaming pc, 5080 laptop, pc handhelds for reference and use a macbook for the efficiency. But is the zephyrus g14 really hot on the keyboard and chassis parts? Hows the battery life? Worth waiting for actual black friday?

Does the z fold 7 and z fold 8 ultra camera cut out feature still make the inner screen size bigger than the entire fold 6 inner screen size?

Because the z fold 7 and z fold 8 ultra are bigger physically than the z fold 6, if you enable the camera cutout to hide the punch hole which creates that black bar, is the inner screen size still bigger than the entirety of the z fold 6 inner display native?

If so then perhaps the lack of udc isnt a deal breaker anymore especially if s pen comes back on the 8 ultra.

Was 512 gb a bad call instead of 1tb for z fold 6?

This is my first fold and at the time the 1 tb was out of stock Feb 2025. I now see myself downloading roms and such onto it especially with game fusion. What storage do yall have and was 512 a bad call or should I also look for a refurbished 1 tb?

Any advice on typing on z fold 6?

I seem to still mess up texting on this thing and Ive had this phone since Feb or March 2025 but I seem to always prefer typing and picking up my s25 ultra for texting and browsing due to the bigger front screen. I tried increasing the keyboard size on z fold 6 but is there any other tips or tricks you guys know of to make it more easier?

I dont know if I should upgrade and give in or hold onto udc and spen

Im a big tech enthusiast and for my z fold 6 512 gb white I just cant seem to want to trade it in solely on the udc and spen support. But with all the new features of the fold 7 and 8 ultra I feel im going to get left behind if I dont just bite the bullet. Should the fold 6 be my last foldable phone if samsung doesnt reintroduce those two features or what do yall think? I really want to upgrade every year or so.

I have the s25 ultra and iphone 16 pro max because I prefer titanium and dont want to upgrade and lose that either

Is my Msi claw 8 ai speakers defective

Maybe its because ive been bouncing around to other devices but I got my replacement claw a few months back but it never seems as loud as my previous claw I dont think. I recall my claw being so loud at 50%. Is there some app or setting I may be forgetting?

Ios27 AI missing features on 16 PM

Should I upgrade? I know the features we aren't getting are somewhat minor but I really wanted the complete features set but I dont like the aluminum build of the iphones. Plus i only use it for my work apps and my samsung phones for personal use.

I think its time I give the overseas pc handheld manufacturers a shot

Ive been tossing and turning about pros and cons of getting the msi claw 8 ex since im an avid collector (lego 2 , claw 8 ai, switch 2, steam deck oled, z13, 5080 laptop, 4090 pc) and love having different form factors, chip set, and etc. However, after being warned by some of you and peers to avoid makers like onexplayer and gpd win I just cant in full confidence pay that much for msi claw 8 ex and force myself to be happy with the performance im getting when there are other options for a few hundred more.

​

With that being said should i get an oxp or gpd win? If so the mini x2 or which model? Intel or amd strix?
