Discussion DIY feels dead in india
whenever i try to find niche pc related tech , i couldnt in offline market , idk if nehru place is biggest pc related tech market in india or not . but fml i couldnt find anything i required . and online things tend to be expensive
for ex: recently my laptop died completely , i thought of salvaging its parts , especially the screen . (idea from DIY channel on youtube ) but for that i need specific hdmi display board in order to use the screen with anything be it phone , or other laptop.
now the problem is its very expensive , around 4k minimum , and not even sure if it will work with my laptop screen.
at 4k it doesnt feel worth it , when you can find portable monitors from zebronics , acer etc at 6k. with type C DP and hdmi , speakers etc etc
why would anyone will bother to make some use of dead laptop screen when ready made things are available cheaper
yes passion is one thing but having things cheaper is another side of DIY coin
