Re: Jewelers Loupe which is best to use
I have a 5 piece set from Harbor Freight that cost me $2 iirc. Ranges from 2x-10x. Get a couple and keep them handy. Also, try the Dollar Store for "granny spectacles". Anything from a +2.00 to +3.50 is good depending on your eyesight. Who cares if they're tie-dyed ripple colored...? LOLveritas odium parit -

If one is wearing glasses, get one with 2 lens swing aside type that clips onto your glasses' arm.

I have been wearing 2.5 and 3.5 old man specs. They work great! Alot of light is even better! The only problem I have is when I look up to get my beer or reach for the wine glass....I miss the days of good vision!...pretty soon I will be wearing these things to drive!Comment

Hello everyone!
Recently I've noticed that some ShopJimmy backlight strips don't have double-sided tape installed upon them when an application calls for it, and I must purchase the tape separately. In a recent chat conversation with a customer service agent I told them if this tape wasn't applied when it was called for I would begin to consider ordering my backlight strips elsewhere. It looks like this time may have come.
I recently got a TCL 65S4 with bad backlights. After looking at the SJ listing here: https://www.shopjimmy.com/tcl-jl-d65...365as-m-led-ba...Yes0%1All backlight strips are the same quality0%1No0%0 -
When i need to replace cpu or gpu or pch ...i mostly order reballed chip from china, but lately there are more broken ones then working.

You find these on ebay all the time. Seller feedback is good in regards to them being legit...but I'm still leary. Anyone with experience with these? Seems quite a few around here are running enterprise; and unless ya'll are stealing the keys from your employers, where are you getting them? -
