The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXIII

Ghostvette · 09-13-2019, 09:57 AM

Gad, JC's post makes me want to get back to the component level repair I used to do. Only problem now is that the parts are so damn small that I need a magnifier or a scope to replace them. Most of the time a hot air pencil was enough to take them off and put new ones on.

Except, I don't think anyone wants to pay $$ for component level repair. It's all 'find the bad board, swap it and toss the bad one in the trash'....

My dad does scrapping and picks up stuff from some of the local auto repair shops and the tool shops. He gave me a Porter Cable saw that the only thing wrong with it was the batteries for the laser were dead.

I worked at a plant where, when I first went to work there, we would repair instruments/controllers/etc at the component/chip level. Some bean counter decided it was cheaper to send them off for repair rather than pay a tech to troubleshoot and keep parts in stock. We ended up replacing entire units instead of replacing components or boards. Too bad because chip-shooting was valuable experience for new techs fresh out of school - ya gotta know how it works before you can chip-shoot.

I like your style, sir and/or ma'am!

Black powder should be your go-to!

I thought he was saying you need to carry her off to your hive, and feed her royal jelly.
