yes many are ….. you can also take a look at Lenevo Service Center in UK nearby if you can find parts which would be cheaper and you will save custom cost

I have previously used ebay for buying damaged part of my MSI laptop which worked good …………… you can also try ebay or laptopscreen

please consult seller to check if particular screen will fit your laptop

Edit:-
…. also make sure seller rating , reviews and selling policies are good and according to you if buying from ebay

anyone who wants to upgrade to S10 or Note 10… as personal phone should wait ….  for S11….. there will be many improvement in many aspect ….

1) – Better Processor ( Exynos 9825 or Snapdragon 865 SOC with built in 5G Modem )
2) – Better AX Wi-Fi Support
3) – Better OLED Screen with high refresh rate 90Hz ? or 120Hz ?
4) – Better Memory LPDDR5

———————————————————————————————

personally i think best time to purchase new high end …mobile phone would be around 2021-2022 …. by that time … AX would be widely available  , 6GHz Wi-Fi Band maybe out , 5G would be global standard and don’t have to pay extra for it , Better camera specs 48Mp + as base specs  etc etc ….

i found new issue with XR500 and Probably same with other Netgear routers ….

Issue : –

1) – Xbox NAT type show as moderate or strict when using PPPoE
——-> NAT Filtering Set – Open
——-> Turn UPnP On – Checked

2) – Xbox NAT type show as Open when using WAN Static IP
——-> NAT Filtering Set – Open
——-> Turn UPnP On – Checked

——————————————————————————————-
this issue … don’t show on ASUS  Routers or Modems …..NAT type always show open when using WAN Static IP or PPPoE

i hope they fix Netgear issue 1st in big fix  .. would solve many issue Netgear DumaOS  users  are having

I’m not very sure about it too , but i know they outsource firmware from Third Party Coders …………..maybe that’s main reason of outdated codes or could be way netgear internal software written …changing things will break more than doing any good  or could be budget issue spending much on good hardware and less budget left for R&D for software so codes are maybe being written by coders that have less knowledge about working of different parts in router  or less staff ?  …………… but whatever reason …..Netgear software have some issue here and there ……….. Netduma Software is good in itself ..but because of netgear side software issue .. blame comes on Netduma for XR500 :D

i was looking at comments at idea center ….  schumaku commented …. on Page 4 … that

To my knowledge the dnsmasq config isn’t configued to speed-up or cache anything … see “cache-size=0” …

 

But to make it worse – and on the R9000/R8900 this was removed a while ago as we spent a lot of time dealing with Netgear – was the “try-all-ns” config … an option no longer in dnsmasq config and docs for years (if not a decade). What it does enforce is fatal: Every request will be sent to all the typically up to three ISP or Internet connection configued DNS IPs and not come back with a valid answer before all DNS servers have replied. Complete silly. And I’m convinced this nonsense is still in place on many Netgear router models (Cxxxx, Dxxxx, Rxxxx, Nighthawk, Orbi, whatever).

As a side effect,  it does make dnsmasq return a wrong status code if a domain can’t be resolved.

——————————————————–
root@R9000:/etc# cat dnsmasq.conf
# filter what we send upstream
domain-needed
bogus-priv
localise-queries
no-negcache
cache-size=0
no-hosts
try-all-ns
root@R9000:/etc#
——————————————————–
i was also looking at Netgear community for that and found – https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R9000-DNS-Performance/td-p/1461774

i think this is same with all netgear router …. prob netgear is using old dnsmasq version ?  … because XR500 and Nighthawk X6S have very powerful hardware , it should not effect performance of DNS ,

if they allowed to give Static DNS to DHCP clients , instead of router …. this issue would have been minimal , but netgear not implemented it yet

there is an idea in Netgear idea center about this  – https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-For-Home/Additional-DNS-support/idi-p/1066702 …

i use ISP DNS ,Google or OpenDNS ( because they use EDNS ) ..it give me performance on sites that use CDN (Content delivery network) , don’t want slower download speed because …. CDN routed me far away server :D

it don’t matter what DNS you use on WAN, since Netgear don’t allow you to allocate different DNS by DHCP other than router DNS ……
———————————————————–
lets say i have set Google DNS on WAN DNS Settings on Netgear, ASUS , Huawei

now when you do benchmark and check RED BAR ( Cached Domain Name Lookup ) you will notice

On Netgear

Google DNS Performance – 8ms
Router DNS  Performance – 6ms to 78ms ( it varies but that’s low and max i have noticed )

On ASUS 

Google DNS Performance – 8ms
Router DNS Performance – 0ms

On Huawei
Google DNS Performance – 8ms
Router DNS Performance – 0ms

on netgear router caching performance is bad , router IP actually resolving sites slower compared to other modem/routers……………………..

there are other issues with Netgear too , like on Samsung Galaxy S7 ( Exynos Version ) , link speed is at 433Mbps for some reason ….. on 5Ghz ………………other router is able to reach 867 Mbps ….. it’s something to do with Netgear side or samsung i’m not sure … but happens with Netgear routers only ( XR500 and Nighthwak X6S )…

Thank’s , lets see if they able to fix anything :D

currently using asus … so will install new firmware on my Netgear XR500 at some point

btw – have you done DNS Benchmark test on XR500 for router DNS caching performance ( DNS Server – Router IP ) ?

-> https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

For example lets say your Router DNS Server is 10.0.1.1  …… take a look at RED BAR ( Cached Domain Name Lookup ) for 10.0.1.1  using above software and compare it with asus or other modem or router ?

This Issue has been fixed in new firmware

ASUS – 3.0.0.4.384.6210
Asuswrt-Merlin – 384.13

 

smart connect work as it should be for now with default rules values

your ISP have allocated you Carrier-grade NAT IP address ,  yes it can create issue like Strict NAT on gaming consoles , closed ports ,  tough to access computer or NAS from outside of network etc etc…..you can look your NAT type on your Gaming Device to know for sure ? …………………………..if you notice any issue you might need to ask your ISP to provide you Static WAN IPv4 address ………………….. if you don’t use services that needs dealing with ports etc … you will be fine

 

lease time is set very low …usually lease time is set below 4Hr if there is some kind of maintenance going at back end………………….but i can be wrong
