[13:12] <zxmpi> twas a smidge nippy this morning. thank the gods for leccy blankie
[13:13] <daftykins> heh
[13:14] <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
[13:47]  * 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
[14:02] <daftykins> nothing on ebay that's a close match that you could pinch from?
[14:03] <zxmpi> a 2nd entire camera to use for the parts you break? :-P
[14:11] <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:

[14:12] <penguin42> the gripper bar on it up and went
[14:13] <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
[14:15] <daftykins> ooh yeah, micro stuff
[14:21]  * penguin42 is going to switch to recapping my Model B's PSU - at least I can see the components
[14:23] <daftykins> BBC? neat!
[14:23] <daftykins> ok i've gotta hit the road, client tells me their broadband is down
[14:30] <zxmpi> by smoke signals? :-P
[16:54] <daftykins> lol got there, clicked 'reconnect' on the struggling web interface, came straight back up
[16:57] <zxmpi> probably still quicker than trying to walk them through clicking it over the phone :-)
[17:04] <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
