On my old phone I had an issue with the proximity sensor and front facing camera. This led me to holding my phone backwards to take photos and being unable to hang up phone calls.

I think I put up with this for a year and a half.

I did end up figuring out the issue with the proximity sensor but opening up my phone to reconnect the camera module was too much effort for me.

The bearings of the OG case-fans started to fail so I reconfigured them to kick in when the CPU got hot. One after another I ended with only 1 left working all the time...

Had them all replaced last month, 4 fans on max are quieter than the last at 50%...

Oh, my GPU fans were dying, so I leaned a case fan to the GPU to help with cooling.
It was GTX570 which I bought when it was new, shiny and expensive. Server me over 10 years, including Witcher 3 on 100C temp
