Yep, it’s off to get a tan up north! Looking hopeful I might get out of it for a few hundred...
I have to say though, getting the screen off was a piece of piss. And once in the components are all very serviceable.Good thing its finally the year of linux on the desktop* and we can all move back to more serviceable computers again.
*for reals this time I swear.
I prefer reducers of consumer waste and fuckwit thread interventionists myself, but nerds works too.Neeeerrrrrrrrrdddddds!
Yeah agreed. The 27 imac is a bloody nice monitor though! I just like Mac OS... So anything I build would end u being a hackintosh anyway, so like you i plod along while it all works. And I've had a very good run over a coupe of dozen apple thigns over the years... One glitchy apple tv that was replaced no arguments, and one iphone out of a dozen ive had with a wonky volume button that was replaced on the spot no arguments.I am a Apple user / fan - but I'm starting to tire of their dodgy practices regarding the right to repair etc. The flip side is, I've never had issues beyond replacing a battery (and a macbook screen under warranty) in the last 10 years. So I've been lazy and happy to plod along.
Just watching a few of Louis' videos reminds me that its probably time to build my own PCs again (and run linux on my home setup as well as work).
Mr Rossman will show you how much flux to use.flux
I'm all about the DIY, I love spending endless hours learning stuff and having a go and feeling super smug when I get it right. I've also been usually not afraid of electronics.That connector should be easy to replace using a heat gun: it's on the edge of the board, with locating pins and only has contacts on one side. Heat gun to get it off, clean up the pads with solder wick and then solder back on with small tip on soldering iron and plenty of liquid flux.
Oh yes indeed...Shall I be ready to move these posts to the confessions thread?
Just checked out one of his videos. He's not afraid to use some flux. Might order some of that stuff for myself. I like how it stays clear and evaporates away without leaving a nasty residue.Mr Rossman will show you how much flux to use.
Great news Tubby.starting to really hate intersections with more than one turn lane, so many muppets who cant keep in their lane. had a van decide both lanes were his yesterday, then tried to claim I ran into his lane.
should add context: just left hospital with news the cancer markers are lowest ever and back in normal people levels, and after next CT scan we wont do anymore unless I develop new symptoms. pretty much skipped down the road. made it 1 block before numpty hit me.
