Not to pile on, but if things are as they appear… it’s simply shameful to me that staff would prioritize the reputation of a manufacturer over the safety of members and the community at large.
Did my unboxing, not sure what to make of it. It’s larger for sure. The display, while color, is a much lower quality TN LCD. The new unlock thing is crazy.
The top end of the housing is off center by like .3mm and there are two light nicks in the black finish. I’ll overlook that stuff on...
I get some of those thick alcohol prep pads, wrap one around a wood poker, and go to town on it on max heat.
The pad scrubs way better than a qtip with that poker.
Interesting email. The issue would certainly be electronics related I’d think?
Not to come across as an apologist but a batch of boards using a faulty or incorrect IC/resistor/cap wouldn’t exactly be unheard of. Or a firmware bug.
I just don’t see any reason to believe anything shady is going on.
I’ve never observed any sort of performance changes from the alignment that you mention. So long as the screen isn’t upside down as others have mentioned, that’s just how they are.
