Well, selling stuff over Nostr enabled me to order a new screen for my laptop 💜💜💜 I wasn't expecting the numbers to line up so well, but they did. Thank you! Now, I just have to wait for it to show up & figure out how to replace it. 😅

what kind of laptop?

It's an asus zenbook 15 pro, oled touch screen

that's an expensive screen.

Yeah. I was a little woozy when I saw the price, but I've been saving most of the sats from the stuff I've sold over the last couple of years. It worked out oddly well for a terrible situation.

I need one too! 🤣

Oh gosh, Troy! That whole thing about cribbage board... I should have stayed stubborn. 😂

Your monitor died from drilling a cribbage board? Mine died from paracord. 😜

🤣 death by flying chuck key

It was dumb. I have a garage & a stupid inclination to listen to people who'd I think would know better than me.

Ouch! Flying chuck key, dang. Sounds like an eventful day in the shop.

I've fixed a lot of laptops in my time, good luck! Make sure to have a way to organize screws for when you reassemble 😅 Check here for instructions first 👍

Hey thanks! I'll keep that in mind

All the best, hope it all goes well 🙏

There are always videos on YouTube about how to take apart laptops. It's always nerve-wracking though 😬

All new for me. I figure the worst that can happen is that I'll show up at a repair shop weeping 😅 I have plenty of time to finish up my crafts now, but I hope the screen ships fast.

You're good with your hands so I don't expect you'll have too much trouble. Slow and steady with a good electronics screwdriver set, something flat to pry parts open, and a hair dryer ought to do it.

Take pictures as you take things apart as a memory aid when reassembling it. You'll do fine 😁
