electronics

From the submitter: I bought this microwave oven for R$ 20 to fix it and use. Unfortunately, it is IMPOSSIBLE to find the keyboard membrane in Brazil. In USA, just the membrane costs $80!!! So I traced the keyboard circuit and made a new keyboard for it :)

Because taking the time to solder really is worth avoiding the trip to "The Shack."

Why can't they make electronic equipment as large as, say, a car? Then we wouldn't spend so much time losing parts. As a bonus, we'd get to use wrenches instead of tiny little screwdrivers.

Better you than me, buddy!

So pretty much hooked my wii playing gamecube to my gamecube playing gameboy advance to play gamecube. Should have done this with pokemon.

My brain hurts reading that.

From the submitter:

I was traveling in China for 2 weeks, and had brought a spare camera battery, but no charger. Borrowed a friend's charger, found some wire, and voila.

He's really putting the miles on those portable speakers. ~Not-So-Handy Andy

It's not how big the voltage, it's the flurrent of the current. If you know what I'm sayin'.
