Oh loverly.....
My neighbour had a Samsung DVD Hard drive recorder that no longer played some DVD's so he bought a new one and gave the old one to me to strip for parts (160GB hard drive in it)
I was about to strip it down when I noticed a bit of fluff around the laser head... Shirley not..... But yes. Removed the fluff, cleaned the laser lens assembly and one perfectly working DVD recorder.

Result :-)

What have you fixed recently?

would you class this neighbour as a "friend"?

(likeajackhammer, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 11:58, archived)
yes
I did tell him and offered it back (as i am nice like that) but he told me to keep it.

Someone said it looked like a dress that a posh lady would wear to a evening meal.
He's a bit special though.

Fine then, I take it back.
It looks like something a scullery maid would use to wipe sick from a dog's arse.

It was a work dress.
I think I'd be arrested if I wore it out.

When I was younger there was no such thing as asthma, now every fucker has got it.
In my day we called it 'Fat Lung' and they weren't allowed to do sport and were forced to detangle the skipping ropes.

Nah, asthma was our generation's ADHD.
Everyone who got vaguely out of breath running around like an idiot at playtime was given an inhaler.

I haven't fixed anything really
But my old old TV you had to do a set Three Stooges routine to get it to turn on.

You'd pat the top of it twice as fast as you could and then boot it as hard as you could on the bottom of the stand and a quick slap on its side and it would turn on. It was one of those wood effect 80s one with the buttons that popped out. I loved that thing. If you went away from channel one the switch would shoot out across the room.
