I #repaired a #fitbit Charge 5 today by replacing the battery.

I feel like some kind of electronics god.

SO SMOL!

She’s back. Nice & clean too!

Right kn*bhead, listen carefully… when the beepie things go beep, beep, beep and especially beeeeeeeep… that doesn’t *only* mean your reverse sensors are working 😣 #pumast #fordpuma #fordpumast #bump #cleancar #repaired #likenew

Additionally, it’s looking like there are some transistors gone too.

I see zero conformal coating on this, meaning moisture can get everywhere. What finally killed it was a broken automatic waterer, but still….

I think probably about 20 components need to be replaced in order to get this back to functioning, and I’m not entirely sure that that is worth my time. I would buy a OEM replacement, but frankly as the company that made this purchased it from a third-party, and I don’t seem to be able to buy it direct from either of them. I’m just gonna go with a third-party solution.

Another closeup of a broken circuit board. Many transistors and resistors look very unwell, and it looks like there’s an icy that has also been destroyed by moisture. I could probably salvage the board, but it would be more than my time and skill is worse. Looking here I think I’d have to replace about 20 components to even have a chance of being able to get it running again.

OK, so now I know why my e bike stopped charging….

There’s a massive amount of corrosion. Luckily, I found a replacement online that didn’t have the correct connector. I repurposed the original connector on the new unit. SAdly, the new unit doesn’t have an NTC connection, so aill have to keep an eye on it to prevent overheating.

The inside of an electric bike charger that’s clearly NOT IP rated for outdoor use. Major corrosion around the base of some capacitors and inductors.

The underside of a heavily corroded circuit board for an electric bike charger. There’s rust and discolored traces, which mean the circuit can’t conduct electricity as designed.

Is there a FOSS alternatieve for the Samsung radio app? So it could be possible to listen to FM radio on e/OS custom ROM. It's for an old #repaired #deprecated #smartphone just making it usefull as anti #plannedobsolescence and it does have an audio jack :blobcataco:

I #repaired my older/backup #MacBook Air — replaced the #keyboard which had liquid damage and the #battery which was wearing out — £150 all in, done in three hours close to the University. (Four keys has stopped working: Z, X, control and option.)

My favourite hammock for on our balcony broke and landed me on my ass, last month. Just got around to fixing it with parts of a new lashing strap that's rated for much more weight than me. The hammock itself is still in good shape, so this should last me some more years, now.

(I got the hammock from Kickstarter years ago, in a time when I was still fascinated by that website... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/element5/skyfloat-a-true-must-have-for-your-outdoor-adventu)

A bright green fabric hammock suspended on a balcony. The hammock is attached to a metal frame at the top, which is then secured to the balcony structure with straps. A black cat is visible lying on the balcony floor near the hammock, and various outdoor furniture and household items are in the background.

Close-up of two white fabric straps with purple stitching where they are looped and attached to carabiners, with a brown strap hanging down in the center. In the background, out of focus, is a light-colored outdoor shade and a glimpse of green trees.

The old strap, with a fix I attempted earlier. Of course, the strap was too short and resulted in a lopsided hammock. A coiled grey or tan strap with a small, dark fabric loop at one end, resting on a pillow with a red and grey plaid pattern.

Just did a kind of honeycomb darn on my headphone side that was splitting. #mending #repaired cc @tefferbear thank you for the inspiration.

A blanket stitch going around the inner edge of a split earphone cover. The outer side already has two rows of blanket stitch.

The whole thing stitched back together with a kind of netting between the two edges.

Been fixing up an old wheelbarrow, new wheel and replacement bolts for the handles. #REPAIRED

A wall with loose natural stones in a old stable barn. Some light shines through a window that is only partially visible.

A wall repaired and grouted with vicat natural cement and lime. Natural cement as sealer in the lower part. Some stone still visibile in the wall.

And it works again 🥳

My mother immediately started sewing after her machine was #repaired and back together 😄

Sewing machine internals. Some belts and wheels, some cables and cogs. Also some dust.

A picture of the sewing machine computer mainboard still in the machine and with also the original electrolytic capacitors are still in place. All looks healthy and well, but a bit disassembled.

Looking back at the archive I downloaded from the #birdsite, I found some fun pictures. Those are from 2016, when I got a #Tektronix 576 curve tracer. It was designed to be #repaired! It even sported a roll of special soldering wire for the repairs. I love the notice "IT IS DESIRABLE THAT ONLY SILVER-BEARING SOLDER BE USED ON THE CERAMIC TERMINALS AND FOR THINNING THE IRON. ORDINARY TIN-LEAD SOLDER MAY BE USED BUT REPEATED USE WILL BREAK THE SOLDER TO CERAMIC BOND. SEE YOUR INSTRUCTION MANUAL"

A spool of special solder wire was available for the repairs, neatly stored INSIDE THE INSTRUMENT!

YESSSSS FUCKIN GET THAT UP YE! #ZX81 #REPAIRED

A CRT TV showing the output of a working ZX81. It’s printing HOLY SHIT all over the screen.

The level of precision straight out of the box with the Bambu A1 mini is kind of mind blowing. 🤯 I threw together this model with just 0.125mm clearances and it's perfect on the first try!

I've had this printer for 24 hours and just saved a kilo of toilet seat plastic from the landfill 😎

#3dprinting #maker #repaired

I received some spare pieces for the #RevoxB77, motor capacitors and ball bearings. Someone tried to lubricate the reel ball bearings, but they were completely shot. #repaired #AnalogAudio

The three new motor capacitors (Ducati) installed at their place.

The ball bearing of the right reel motor

Yikes! The ball bearings were completely dead

The refurbished reel motor with new bearings and new retaining clips.

The Dansette 222 has just gone back to its owner. I got a bunch of flowers in return. #radio #repaired #repair
