Unfortunately, the screen is in very bad shape. It seems like the top layer is coming off. Any tips on restoring it are very much appreciated.

Do you think I could just stick a screen protector on top to smoothen the surface? It would bubble, wouldn't it? 🤔

Next ham radio task was to rework the sad mag mount 10m whip antenna on top of junker commute car.

Checked connections, tighten bolts, cleaned corrosion of wavy parts. Used a beeping ohmmeter to make sure I had no opens or shorts in the wrong places.

Then up on top of the car, clunk!

Tomorrow, stupid early, I will put the Elecraft KX3 in the car and I will see who I can hear on HF.

Maybe someone somewhere!

working on its own, however the controller never makes use of it. Given I've checked all the other components I have to assume it's one of the ICs or the weird 4-legged thing on the top right, but I want to be sure. Since the I couldn't find schematics of this specific board… can someone give me a hint how to proceed from this point on? Also what that 4-legged thing on the top right could be (it says "DA OK"). #electronics #soldering #repair #playstation #sony #pcb

Trying to catch up a bit on radio things.

I recrimped another PowerPole connector onto the fused line from my car's battery, so I could get the VHF mobile rig working again.

Then I tightened the 2m/70cm antenna in the mag mount, stuck some polyethylene sheet on the magnet, using spray adhesive, and slapped it all back on top of the roof.

Plastic will photodegrade in the UV of the sunlight. But it will be hidden under the mount.

Local repeater hears my signal.

Good.

Fellow Thinkpad owners, my T440s screen is slowly disintegrating. Not only do I have bottom backlight issues, today a bright green vertical line appeared on the screen (it seems blue + red pixels are dead/disconnected).

If I decide to replace the screen, what are my options for home repair? Do I need to get the exact screen that I already have, or can I go for an "upgrade" from a later model, e.g. get a fancy 1080p OLED instead of this old ghosting TN panel?

So our front door (which is on the side of the house away from the road, but that is another story) wouldn't stay shut as the handles wouldn't return after being used to open the door. Obviously an internal spring had failed but anyone's guess as to if I had a suitable spare. Turns out I did and we can now, once again, keep the cats, rain and the approaching cold outside. Result. #fix #repair

I got some help in 3D printing a replacement chain guard for a bike I'm fixing up. I think the printing was cost-effective versus shipping-and-handling. It helped that this person was skilled enough to easily adjust as needed the parameterized model from thingiverse.
This bike is cleaning up nicely. Last thing to do is tighten the rear bearing cones to fix some play, and maybe check the grease while I'm at it.

@priscillaharing And in keeping with your own style: #upcycle and #repair #fashion!
The movement for #VisibleMending meanwhile is a global trend and most of the methods are easy to learn.

Very colourful jeans became an individual artwork with patches and wild stitching to close the holes or strengthen the worn-out fabric. The patches are made of scraps. It's called visible mending because mending becomes a political statement against fast fashion.
Part of a jeans showing that people don't need exact skills of sewing. Fabric behind holes is stitched wildly and irregulary but with bold colours. Some stitches form stars.
A rose-red cord trousers is repaired with bright blue jeans fabric. It's made without sewing, you can buy these fabric scraps for ironing on. So visible mending can be done by everyone.
A zipper of a fleece jacket. The zipper seemed to be completely destroyed. Until I found out that you can buy zip fasteners which you can fix with one click. With some tiny movements the zipper closed again perfectly, and my favourite jacket was saved.

Technical advice solicited! The clasp on this much-loved bag has started to pop out because of continual abrasion. Please recommend a way to #repair it, bearing in mind that I have no #beading or #leatherwork or #jewellery tools.

Edit: from the responses, my pictures didn’t make it clear: the ball goes all the way through the loop and spins freely. When new, the ball was too big to come back out the loop; now it does because of wear.

The clasp comes in two parts which I don’t have names for.
It pops apart because the nail-head bit is no longer snug enough to stay in the hole.

I missed this last month: France has launched an initiative to reduce textile waste by paying people to repair their clothes instead of throwing them out.

Starting October, people will be able to claim between €6 and €25 of the cost of mending clothes and shoes. The money will come from a €154 million fund and is meant to support businesses in offering more apparel repair services.

Cool stuff! 🧵🪡
