# the rest of the PC was surprisingly clean, inside and out.
I don't think the customer even knew about the flap, but I had to get the flashdrive in to offload some malware removal stuffs

wow, penismans, flaps and flashdrives. My job is sooo sexxy!

# just think of all that inserting you have to do.. :D
I spend my daytimes melting solder, and sometimes building PCs

# i wish I could do more soldering.
The other tech are afraid of taking apart laptops and soldering new DC jacks.

Re: The link up ^there; one of the guys I work with likes to blow the dust out of PC cases with canned air. The fucking dust drifts all over the shop. I wish I could kill him

# Collect all the dust
cram it into a tube, put one end of the tube in a pressurised can and shove the other in his gob. release the pressure and hey presto! tons of dust shoot into his lungs causing a slow and painful death.

# oh god, don't remind me about repairing fucking laptop power sockets :(
I SWEAR they're designed so that they'll break and the owner will have to spend lots of money getting it repaired - or get muggins here to do it for nowt :(

seriously, they should be set into a block of aluminium that's then bolted to the mainboard or laptop case, too many idiots dropping laptops/tripping over the power cable

when I mean idiots, I mean friends :/


soldering has become a double edged sword for me now, I've got to the level that I can solder/unsolder 0.5mm pitch chips but I do so much I'm starting to get sick of it so my own at home projects suffer

# I had a most difficult one just last week.
It was a Dell XPS laptop. The jack also had an integrated 2 color LED. I had to desolder 12 points to remove the jack. I cheated by breaking the thing apart and cutting away the plastic with the soldering iron. They use a very low lead solder which is very difficult to remove with a wick.

The customer wanted the old jack. He was surprised when I immediately headed to the back and came back with all 20-something pieces of plastic and metal in a small plastic container. People are weird, but I know what to expect from them; that's why I saved the pieces.

# Yeah, before there were laws regarding medical waste...
I had a couple of kooky aunts who would bring home anything that was removed from them during their stay at the hospital. Anything from gallstones to cataracts. Just lovely.
