Meg Discovery Disassembling a Etekcity model 774 Infrared Thermometer from 2017 that broke after 3 years of heavy daily use. Meg's favorite kitchen accessory. We both enjoy taking apart old broken devices to discover what's inside & how they work & how are they assembled & built.

You can find this brand & many of the models of IR laser grip thermometers they sell on Amazon.com. I believe we paid about $18 for this & used it daily for over 3 years for brewing tea & cooking. Its nice to know the surface temps of cups & pans & cooking surfaces when your cooking or preparing hot foods & beverages.

We both strongly advocate for device repair as an ethical way to extend the useful life of phones, tech items, vehicles, appliance or anything that can be fixed instead of wastefully replacing at higher cost items that just need a simple low cost fix, like a new integrated battery, replacement belt, blown fuse internally or other blown component like a bulb or lamp or broken connector or power supply. We used a tool from IFIXIT to take the two case assembly screws & 4 internal screws out of the device during disassembly analysis & discovery.
