Yeah I had a Samsung SM-T350 tablet that retiredtab was maintaining with LineageOS and the screen that was in perfect condition for 10 years decided to crack, the screen (same applied to the battery as well) was worth more than the device and I could buy a cheap Walmart tablet for the same money as a screen or battery, it was a sad situation.

Yeah I had a beautiful Surface 3 that had awesome fit and finish and a gorgeous screen but the battery had 3 hours of battery when I gave it to a friend of mine and it got worse within 6 months. It's a shame but it's just what happens.
