[Q] TN7 magnetised?!?

[aliaksei]

Hi,
I was recently stuck in APX mode for a week, luckily got out of that, but bizarrely I can stick my (superpowered) TN7 to my fridge and radiator! I have also noticed a massive drop in battery life. The magnetic field is strongest near the Bassport, according to GPS Toolbox on my G2. Any suggestions to get my TN7 unmagnetised and hopefully improve battery life?

Thanks,
Aliaksei

It appears to have eight magnets in it, six on the back, two on the front. Pass a paperclip or similar over it and you'll soon see where they all are

Yeah I have found them, now the two on the front I assume must be for the flip cover. But why are there six on the back??

They're all there for the cover. When you fold the cover over the back you can put it in one of three positions (one paiir of magnets for each position) The cover works really well, though I take it off when playing first person shooters.

If you're implying that the magnets are somehow affecting your battery life, well, that's not even physically possible. The magnets are permanent, so there's no way to demagnetize it, and besides, why would you want to ruin the world's coolest fridge magnet? Seriously, if I had cash to burn, I would so have one of these on my fridge to replace my Boogie Board.

Lol, I accidentally stuck mine to a radiator a while ago, and it regularly Hoovers up stuff off my desk

I accidentally had mine stick to my microwave when I was trying to warm up leftovers. Then I got curious and stuck it to the fridge so I can watch shows on it when I'm in there for any length of time. Best discovery ever!
