    The magnification is sufficient for the repair of motherboards.
    I had to build a box to place the card.
    Check if there is the possibility of using a commercial camera and not one supplied by the manufacturer.

        I have the same microscope as shown in the initial post only mine is branded as Amscope the 10x lenses are ultra wide field and sufficient to replace ic's on mobile phone logic boards. The 20x lenses have a much narrower field of view making it difficult to work under but they're great if your looking for cracks etc.
        For the money it's very good value but there's no option for vga unless you sacrifice an eyepiece I personally use a digital endoscope to record myself working.

          I have just brought the same microscope as in the first post (AmScope SE400-Z 10X-20X LED Binocular Stereo Microscope) and agree for the money its a good scope and good idea on the endoscope i may try that idea out myself which model did you buy?

            I got the Amscope SM-4NTP 7X-45X simul-focal stereo zoom dual boom microscope with a 0.7 Barlow lens and ring led light. It performs very well but I haven't got a camera for it yet though.

              INSKAM Microscope USB port issue
              by lcdcaps1
              Hi
              All
              Does anyone have a INSKAM 7 inch LCD digital microscope
              I have a weird issue on the one I have where the USB port does not output enough power because when I connect a USB light or the ring light the light output is always really dim
              The ring light when connected to the microscope USB port is at the lowest brightness and turning the brightness knob makes no difference
              I have tried different cables and different USB power adapters

              I have confirmed there is nothing wrong with the ring light and the other USB light by plugging them into another...

              Weak Vision due to Eye Strain when using Microscope
              by caspian
              Dear Forum Members,

              Microscope is required for micro-soldering and for measuring tiny components on a mainboard. I have to use microscope because my eyes are not that strong to see tiny IC pins.
              My microscope has light to improve vision. I have attached a photo of my microscope.

              Looking through a microscope gives us eye strain. After using microscope for 5 to 10 minues, my eyes get a bit weak in recognizing close objects. that means close objects look a bit blur. Then, I have to wait for 5 to 10 hours til my eyes get back to normal.

              1. Do you experience...

              Xbox series x advise
              by Rickkap
              Hi

              I was hoping someone could give me some advise. A friend dropped off an Xbox Series X for repair—normally not something I deal with, but I'm helping out as a favour.

              Currently, the console powers on with a beep and then immediately powers off. On closer inspection, the HDMI port clearly needs replacing, and there's significant liquid damage/ missing components.

              Before I go down the rabbit hole of sourcing a donor board and replacing damaged components, I wanted to ask: based on the area I've marked in the photo, do you think this could be what's causing...
