bits & pieces \08.11\

As a follow-up to the excitement of yesterday's girls' night, tonight we sat at the kitchen table with a pizza and a smartphone with a cracked LCD screen.  The mission was to deconstruct, replace the screen, then rebuild.  Carefully extracting motherboards and digitizers...standard girls' night, right?  Minus the trivial things like high heels and martinis.

I suppose we'll have to take pride in the fact that the deconstruction was relatively seamless and we managed to put it back together completely.  Unfortunately, we learned that word on the street was correct; it's easy to flub the replacement on the HTC Inspire.  

There are two major connections that need to be made, and despite the insignificant size of some prongs, when they break it's game over.  Maybe smartphones aren't the best place to practice amateur skills in electronics repairs.

Regardless, I've never understood when people tell me that they hate putting together IKEA furniture. Did you also hate playing with Legos as a kid?  I think it's good for your brain to work through these processes - a combination of spacial skills and problem solving.  Plus, it's a cheap little thrill when you manage to successfully build or fix something.
