Another computer saved from e-waste and at considerable savings to the customer. A replacement (used) motherboard would have cost £180!

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

Three images showing photographers in a studio, standing around a black curtained area with a projector and a 'Windows' logo etched onto a glass pane. The lower image shows a version of the iconic blue windows background, with blue lasers outlining and passing through an angled Windows logos against a dark background.

How did we wind up, losing so much knowledge about repair, that one faulty cap costing 0,50 Euro leads to scrapping an oven costing 500 Euro. And that's not even considering the environmental impact. Bring back basic electronics repair shops! #righttorepair #restarters

What success sounds like. 🤪 Another 'vintage' motorhome control panel repaired. Good thing too as these can't be found anywhere to buy.

An AutoChair hoist repair. A nice customer needed this working again so he could lift his mobility scooter in and out of his car so I said I'd take a look.
Another one saved from the e-waste pile and the customer saves a bunch of money too!

I needed one zener diode and one voltage regulator. I had to buy 100 diodes and 50 regulators. 🤪

Tariffs on parts but not new devices? That’s a double standard. More people will choose replacement over repair. That means more e-waste, fewer domestic repair jobs, and more dependence on imported tech.

We need policies that fix the system, not punish fixers.

The home Whirlpool fridge LED was flickering for the past week, Whirlpool wanted $115 to replace (part# W11527432), instead I replaced 8 LEDs (2.45V forward voltage) in series for a whopping total of $2.03 from DigiKey! Years more of 💡

Following up on the last clip about the Windows XP PC - Our main objective is to ensure we have an 'image' of the hard drive because it contains legacy software that is vital to a local heritage foundation.

We're probably the only place in our area that will take in a Windows XP computer for repair.

Good memories, bad capacitors!

Close encounters of the weirdly-shaped kind.
My workbench was visited by a strange object this week. (Banana for scale.)

Told the customer replacing the CMOS battery is no big deal and he should be able to change it himself; no big deal, right? 😅

Well.... I just had to eat my words. Phew!

My camera-only setup was ok for most things but the camera doesn't have depth perception like a stereo 'scope does, making some jobs really frustrating and unnecessarily fiddly.
I can still use my camera for recording and board inspection.
