Hi.
I know I can find tons of replacement parts on eBay or just by googling. But most of them are from China and many are counterfeit or fake, and of course the original company won’t sell me parts only.
Anyone know a good source to get original parts for consumer electronics?
Thanks.

Assuming it's not a part that fails often, buy a broken unit of the same model to salvage parts from.
Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Cryptocurrency lesson 0: Altcoins and Bitcoin are not the same thing.

The original parts will almost certainly be from China too.

You can buy original Samsung parts https://www.samsungparts.com/Default.aspx, but that's about it. With displays your best bet is buying used or refurbished parts with replaced non original digitizer. There may be some new original parts here or there but they come from grey and unreliable channels.
