I need to buy some modules for my Basic M1A
I have seen that there are two types of ICs: Some with the codes of the upper right corner printed with white ink and others with the codes with engraved letters.
Those of white ink are in the cheap publications of the great auction site. Those that are engreved appear mostly in images of apparently unrepaired systems, in used parts and in good stores.
Are all ICs with white ink fake?
Has anyone used this cheap replacements successfully?
Do you know any way to distinguish good devices from bad ones?
Any recommendation is appreciated.
Thank you
