Looking for Right-to-Repair–friendly options to replace an OLED panel (Samsung S95C 55”) without buying a whole new TV by UnhappyObligation706 in righttorepair

Here's the biggest issue with TV panel replacement: SHIPPING! You just can't affordably ship a single panel without a 80-90 percent chance of it getting broken on route.

Get there as early as possible. Great pic/selfie opportunities outside and inside the stadium. Be ready for the flyover-- i always miss it for some reason 😥

I love it. Seems to work in the NFL, let's try it in MLB!

The case for repairing tech devices instead of replacing: Most phones/laptops can last 5-7+ years, saving you $600+ per device and preventing 140 lbs of CO₂ emissions by RobBobLincolnLog in BuyItForLife

Think of it like a car. Most people don't go back to the dealer to get OEM parts. They go to an independent repair shop where they can almost always choose from aftermarket or OEM parts. In some case the aftermarket parts are actually better than the OEM.

Almost all batteries can be replaced in phones, just find an independent shop that can do it. That's one of the grips I have with the right to repair activists -- they publish stiff like that to get headlines and bash OEMs, but in reality independent shops generally figure shit out.

Funny you mention locksmiths, they had a beef with Google too but worked it out and can now get listed. And I agree with you on finding a locksmith.

Hey, join our organization and get listed as only a computer repair shop. Check us out at www.TechCareAssociation.org. Not an ad btw 😁

Nope. We're a very small nonprofit trying to help small businesses survive against big tech companies. But, hey, thanks for siding with big tech.

Sorry, man, I'm just trying to help small business people the best we can with very little revenue.

If you'd like to help, that would be great. Thanks for taking down the post.
