| daftykins | heh | 13:13 |
| daftykins | so tough to leave when there's nothing urgent to do | 13:14 |
| daftykins | well i made a mistake on an ebay order, a replacement motherboard for an old lemon iMac i am fixing up... got one without the heatsinks and the graphics chip is different, so i'd crush some SMDs if i mounted the cooler | 13:14 |
| daftykins | got to try again | 13:14 |
| * penguin42 is trying to think of some bits to add to a digikey order; I really just want a few tiny connectors for a camera that I'm ruining^Wtrying to repair | 13:47 | |
| daftykins | nothing on ebay that's a close match that you could pinch from? | 14:02 |
| zxmpi | a 2nd entire camera to use for the parts you break? :-P | 14:03 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: So the problem was originally corrosion on the display backlight LEDs, due to rain | 14:11 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: I tried to replace one of the LEDs, but it was SMT and on flex cable | 14:11 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: I bought a replacement display module; and when fitting that the flex connector on the board disintegrated | 14:11 |
| daftykins | ooh nasty | 14:11 |
| daftykins | D: | 14:11 |

| penguin42 | and that came off mostly OK https://cdn.mastodon.org.uk/media_attachments/files/111/461/071/736/221/875/original/9267adaf4d888f19.jpeg one upset pad; but that thing is SMALL | 14:13 |

| daftykins | ok i've gotta hit the road, client tells me their broadband is down | 14:23 |
| zxmpi | by smoke signals? :-P | 14:30 |
| daftykins | lol got there, clicked 'reconnect' on the struggling web interface, came straight back up | 16:54 |
| zxmpi | probably still quicker than trying to walk them through clicking it over the phone :-) | 16:57 |
| daftykins | yeah i wouldn't have had a clue from memory as well, as i have some cheap Mikrotik toy at this place and i never got on with it | 17:04 |
| daftykins | can't be bothered to learn a whole new router OS | 17:04 |
