Okay the title may be somewhat clickbaity but I am sure that there are hundreds/thousands of failed 12V nodes that have failed that could be sold real cheap.
The video below is from an online event hosted by Bill Porter and David Peace on 11-Feb-2021. It covered the failure modes, statistics and further information on the large number of pixel failures that occurred during 2021 that were mainly (but not 100%) 12V nodes and from a number of manufacturers in China.
The video is also linked from the website https://www.pixel.report/ on the resources page and there's also a copy of the powerpoint that Bill presented.
The video is quite interesting and is well worth a watch. If you've had more than 1 or 2 failures in a year per 1000 pixels then it's worth watching the video and potentially submitting a report via the site above. For those that don't watch the video or don't watch it in it's entirety most of the pixel failures detailed were 12V nodes with both resistor and regulator types being in there and the major contributing factor was epoxy failures.
