I think it's weird how so many people seem to think solid state parts or chips can't fail due to lifetime/heat/use. They don't have obviously moving parts like a fan, but that doesn't mean its materials can't degrade.
- ip26 4y agoThey are over-designed enough that failure is quite uncommon for most people.
- Sakos 4y agoI've seen enough failed parts that I know this is misleading if not outright incorrect. It happens. We all have so many electronic devices, many of which we keep for a long time, that the likelihood of your average consumer experiencing a chip failure of some kind is fairly high (over a long enough period of time, probably even guaranteed). Yet for some reason people keep painting it as this statistical impossibility. It's simply not that rare.
