PSA: The 'Pro Glow' facial machine from that big beauty expo is a total waste.

I saw it hyped at the Vegas convention last year and spent almost $900 on it for my spa. The red light therapy panel stopped working after maybe 30 uses, and the company ghosted my warranty emails. I'm out that cash and had to tell my regulars their treatment was canceled. Has anyone found a good, reliable LED panel brand that actually lasts?

Actually, the red light panels in those machines are almost never the part that fails. It's almost always the cheap power supply or a loose wire in the hinge. You can sometimes fix it yourself with a soldering iron if the company won't help.

My soldering skills are so bad I'd probably fix the hinge and break the screen. What's the easiest repair you've ever pulled off?

Remember trying to fix my old laptop hinge with a cheap soldering kit from the mall. Ended up melting more plastic than wire and the whole thing smelled like burnt crayons for a week. I feel you, norag87, some jobs just fight back. Makes you respect the people who actually know how to do it clean.
