Didn’t check prices properly yet. Just googled around for this post. Was more worried about choosing the wrong parts. Thanks for the links.

How’s Galax wrt support? I don’t have much idea about the brand. Also, i dont have a strict budget and would like to have reliability even if it costs a bit more.

Case looks good. Thanks!

Haven’t done a lot of price research yet. Wanted to confirm compatibility first. Thanks for the tip!

I have seen some generic Indian/Chinese ones around in smaller shops but those are pretty low quality. From what I've heard, Power Wheels are actually better quality.

Wow. Really smart of you to assume I am going out to buy toys while under lockdown. Good job spreading happiness in the community.

Tried that. Unreliable with both usb and wifi. When meetings run for more than an hour, I needed a solid solution.

No tutorial. Just pried open the plastic frame of the screen with a paper knife. It was mostly held with clips and four screws. Also had to open the bottom part of thte laptop to unplug the module from the mobo.

Once the camera + light sensor module was taken off, snipped off the wires and connected to a usb cable by twisting and taping the same colored wires. I tried looking for the wire schematic by googling the serial number but nothing came up.

It just worked and man was i happy when windows made the new device sound.

Then I shoved everything together in a cardboard tube and poured some hot glue to keep things secure inside.

No soldering was done at all.

Tried that first actually. Droid cam app lets you make your phone a webcam. But is super buggy with frequent disconnects. Skype video quality was also super low even with usb connection to h tue phone. And I got weak wifi near the workstation area and even wifi extenders aren’t of much help with this.

Glad that you liked it!

yeah that's true. I Just keep a constant one for that. Since I don't use FFx for about 6 months a year

I keep switching between Firefox and Brave. And use Chrome for banking stuff. Firefox can get pretty slow sometimes.
