I know the carve out could have been a bit better but it’s rock solid and only bothers me a lot. (I’ll fix it in the morning)

Link to the conversion boards, they’re only €10 a piece and are made by an independent maker in Norway.

    Usually the under label ones get put back in, the label just gets a permanent hole in it where the screw is.

    I also tend to write the repair date, what (briefly) was fixed, and my initials inside the device. Depends on the size of the device and level of repair though.

      I usually peel the label back and replace it afterwards so it looks nice, and in those cases I throw the screw away because if I need to open it I don’t want to peel the label back multiple times since that can crease it and reduce the strength of the adhesive.

      That is a good idea to write what was done inside the case, would be nice if more people did that.

        I picked up the habit of writing from fixing appliances, that way the next guy (usually you) will know what you did last time and also when the last time it was opened.

        Particularly helpful if you have to bodge something in there as a “temporary” fix
