Back when the news dropped that they were potentially dropping the replacement parts for LCD, the news was focused on the battery. However mine needs a new LB, so I had been looking at that. Those also increased in price around the same time, nearly 150%.

    Your LB key is broke too :')? Hell, even when the battery was cheaper, it was always out of stock. I still don't think I've ever gotten a restock email for the stupid battery and boy howdy does it need to be replaced...

    Unlikely to happen now that it's even more expensive though sadly. Maybe I just save for an OLED instead.
