What the HECK is behind this spot on the SP3?!?!? - Microsoft Surface

OK this is the 3rd SP3 I've received that has this issue, it's utterly baffling to me. I keep swapping them out and keep getting this issue. I have this one square in the upper left corner that does not detect touch at all, but it does detect the pen. It's sporadic, I can reboot and it's gone, or let the sp3 go to sleep and sometimes it's gone, but it always eventually returns.
This latest SP3 I got is only 2 days out of the box, I've probably only used it a total of 5 or 6 hours and it's already doing this. Having 3 of these fail like this you would think it's something that I am doing, but all my SP3 does is either sit on my nightstand next to my bed plugged in or it's in my laptop bag, that's it. It doesn't go near magnets, electricity, or anything weird I can think about.
Anyhow here is a picture of the affected area. Does anyone know what is behind this area? Maybe it's hardware that is bad or something? I have to exchange this now for a 4th replacement, sigh.

According to the ifixit breakdown, it looks like the msata ssd is located behind that part of the screen
Can the heat from the ssd really cause an issue?how hot is it getting before you start having issues?

Problem with pen support

Hi, I'm new here. I have a Dopod 838pro, it's new, only 1 month but something strange happened. I was using the pen today but when I was putting it back, I could not put the pen back as before. I don't hear any click and the pen now can be removed easily (the pen now enter and then come back a little). Later I saw a piece of plastic broken, but I'm not sure if it's from the Dopod
Is there a way to fix it? May be this piece of plastic broken a part of the support? It happened with anybody here? Sorry for all the questions. But I'm still not believing that the support has broken. I have many friends with other Dopods for a long time and never seen this happen. I am always careful with my things.
Here are 2 pictures of the plastic, if anyone can say if is it from the pda I would be grateful.
Thanks.

You may walso want to repost your q to the Hermes forum.
Thanks!! I'll look in there.
Have a look at K-Jam servise manual here since they are quite the same model.
Hope it helps !!!
Problem solved looking michael's blog.
The rubber was in wrong place
I found out that a way to prevent this is to put the stylus in the right position. Not turning the stylus after putting it.

is there a cradle/charger for the des that can hold it sideways?

so i can charge overnight but use Kaloer Clock? leaving it upright wouldn't look as nice
If it had some kind of stand and was slanted back a bit and had no finger prints it would look nice standing up
There's a desk holder, what can hold phones like that.
it's called Desk Genie Non-Slip Charging Desk Stand
Check it out here :

I don't think there's a special dock for the Desire, because the USB connector is on the bottom, not on the side like on the moto droid...
will check that out, ta
just want to either have kaoler clock going, or maybe that fishy background with some ocean sounds from white noise while asleep
My friend has a similar dock to the above shown one, its not too bad but I remember he told me that he has to keep cleaning it every week otherwise the dust/dirt that collects on it will reduce the "non-slippiness" and basically the phone will slide off it.
Or maybe this one off the bay for £10.50? Not tried it myself am wondering which one to buy....

Have you tried using a Crabble stand
I find it really useful and it does the job fine

Note 10.1 Screen problem

I bought a Galaxy Note 10.1 yesterday and I was using my note today and I started to realize a black mark appearing on the screen and growing. I had the note perched between my thumb and hand right where this mark was appearing and it looked like I was putting pressure on the screen from behind. Is this a known problem? The other thing I was wondering is I just rooted and installed Hyperdrive along with the overclocked kernel, could the processor be over heating and causing a mark on my screen? Otherwise I did buy this tablet returned from Staples and they assured me it was restored to a new condition and this has been a problem all along and I just didn't realize it. Any thoughts on what could have caused this to happen? I am still under warranty and have 13 days to return it to Staples. I really like this tablet and I am hopping that I just got a bad one.
Photo attached. This photo greatly dramatizes the problem.

Have it replaced.
I have not seen this happen at all. Could just be a defective unit.
Yeah, replace it. I have 2, bought one for my brother and also a friend. None of them have this on it....

screen separation

I'm noticing that after having the M8 since release date that the screen is starting to separate from the body in the lower right corner. you can't notice it but of you push on that area slightly firmer than you normally would you can feel it bend and flex as though its no longer connected to the body. I've had it in a case and have dropped it maybe twice from a small distance to carpet. something you should keep an eye out for.

HTC want me to secure $299 with a credit card so they can have the option to tell me it was my fault, really... I asked if they would give the option to get my phone back and they said no. My reply was, why would I buy this phone again knowing it has this issue.
That sucks.., what happened to the customer is always right? Just kidding they will probably say you took the phone apart to try mess with its guts.

Question The backs cracked By itself

Hello, I have an unusual problem Well, I once wrote here on the forum whether other users of this phone Asus Rog Phone 5 Do they have a hard time with the volume buttons because in my copy they were stuck when pressed? Today I was cleaning the phone and I noticed a crack on the back cover from the button side Oddly enough, the buttons have been working perfectly for some time, they click I do not know when it could have been damaged because the device has never fallen down I suspect that the damage could have happened spontaneously due to the badly glued housing, the stresses that arose as a result could have contributed to the malfunction of the volume buttons Can you advertise it or has anyone heard of a similar case?

Could it burst by itself?
The only thing that would generally cause the phone to crack on it's own like that is a swollen battery. Hopefully that is not the case with your device.
Nothing is swollen, everything works, even the buttons click and normally recede The warranty is unlikely to cover it, unless they believe it, it makes sense to advertise?
not sure but I had the rog phone 2 and it cracked near the hole on the back and I never dropped it I now have the rog phone 5 and it cracked kind of like that one mine is in a case I'm wondering if it has something to do with heat
