20·4 months ago65" Hisense TV. Bought it new and 1.5 years later the motherboard died. Scoured the Internet for the part and it turned out Hisense didn’t even sell it, you had to buy secondhand used boards.
But it must have been a common problem b/c over ~6 months even the resellers were permanently sold out. Recycled it in the original packaging.

He did plenty. In the movie he lit the beacon to call Rohan. Fought in the battle for Minas Tirith, where he saved Gandalf’s life. Saved Faramir’s life. Saved Merry’s life.
Sauron himself questioned Pippin and came away with the conclusion that he should apply his army and attention toward Minas Tirith and Gondor rather than continuing to look for the real ring-bearer right under his nose. Essentially made the entire gambit with Frodo possible.
This has been a pro-Pippin PSA
