SeanI've been trying to teach my kids that anything worth buying is worth trying to <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a>.My son's Nerf gun quit working, so we took it apart. As expected, all the pieces exploded out, so it took a lot of work to understand how they go back together. This model is known for the latch mechanism breaking. Once I understood where the problem was, some PVC glue and a relocated screw, and it's working again! <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/repairability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairability</a>

John-Mark GurneyJust repaired an audio mixer. A reverse polarity diode was shorting the positive and negative rails. Easy to confirm it was the diode by clipping on lead of it and confirming that the rails aren't connected anymore.I'm more happy that the diode was both marked on the part and on the board, and that I happen to have a 4148 on hand to replace it with.Took maybe 5 minutes to fix it, more to remove the case and put it back in the case.<a href="https://flyovercountry.social/tags/repairability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairability</a>

KostynNothing quite like opening up your laptop to grab that pesky screw that's been rattling around loose in there for months, only to find that it is not the screw you expected and you have no idea where it's supposed to go...

At least this time he only came out with minor burns... and a repaired phone. Interesting the phone accepted a 3rd party module. And personally, I would have never thought of heating the components.

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarI love it when I search for a part number and someone has done the research and written it on their blog in clear, concise notes:"Correct o-ring size is ID 30 x CS 3 x OD 36. ID 30 x CS 2.5 x OD 35 is too small. ID 31 x CS 3.2 x OD 37.4 is too big."So now instead of buying a part, I can just find a generic o-ring for a few cents. :blobcatlove: <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/GenericParts" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GenericParts</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Repairability" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Repairability</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#DIY</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Blog</a>

Hestia HackerHere are some lesser known differences between an open source <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IoT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IoT</a> project and a commercial IoT appliance:1. Support - <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> projects field questions. Actual humans, taking the time to understand your questions and answer them! 2. Repair - Again, people will help you fix things 3. Less <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmental</a> impact - Fewer things ending up in the landfill on account of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/repairability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairability</a>, often times they have more localized production, less shipping, etc. 4. Customizability - <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> for the win
