[QUOTE="Eric Eskam, post: 73153, member: 2124"] Re: X16 (dreamers version) And? Markets are changing. Devices like the X32 or a $3,000 laptop are not designed for component level repair. It's swap out the broken module for a new one. This trend has been going on for years and it's going to accelerate, not go back. It's not abnormal to consider "fixing it" swapping a defective module these days. Who said anything about the console being disposable?
