      Yes, but does your iPad have a game where it shows pictures of farm animals, and you tap the image of the animal, and it makes a sound appropriate to that animal?
      My Leap Frog Tablet does that, and it cost half the price of your iPad.
      Leap Frog Tablet is superior to the Switch and baby toy Steam Deck as the farm animal noise game features RAY TRACING and 240 FPS 4k graphics.
      Does your iPad do the farm animal noise game ?
      That's right, I didn't think so.

    The easiest way to quick test MOSFETS with a ''multimmider'' is to first check that it's not shorted, they mostly go short circuit when they fail.
    After that, to do a crude and quick switching test is to short out all the pins to discharge the gate capacitance first, then in resistance or diode mode (try both to see what happens) connect the positive to drain, negative to source, now short the drain to the gate for a second. The reading on the meter should change.
    Now, short the gate to the source, the reading should go back to what it was.
    Basically, what happens is that MOSFETS are ''Voltage Controlled'', i.e. a voltage at the gate changes the resistance of the channel between the drain and source, they go to a low resistance when switched on.
    The reason for shorting the gate is that it has a VERY high resistance, in fact, it's a small capacitor, and the charge on that ''capacitor'' will keep the device switched on. Shorting it out switches the device off and the reading on the ''multimmider'' changes.
    Get a few MOSFETS and have a practice to get the feel for testing them in this way. It's not foolproof, but with a bit of practice it's a really quick and easy way of testing MOSFETS, in my experience.

    Don't know if you already have one but all these weird glitch you experiencing, gotta ask you the question, do you have UPS ? All these maybe cause by voltage variation in your area.

      A good UPS would definitely be a good idea.
      Repairing a faulty one from a reputable brand like APC would also make a good video.

      Yes voltage sag could be the issue... a UPS may or may not help, though.

    Buy a $100 dollar ART power conditioner rack mount.
    Did a show with bad power from bad customers.
    2 power bars exploded in flames saved 100k in gear.
    Some cameras have OS issues ie Canon xa 10 did
    that at a wedding. Missed first dance.

    Cool idea for a gaming platform. But for that price and still having to purchasing most of the games separately is a rip off.
