The pandora just increased my manlyness

[Bosbeetle]

hehe Ive single handedly put a new LCD cable in my pandora.. just after putting new mirrors on our car because somebody kicked them off...


Manlyness +2


Tell it here if the pandora increases your manlyness as well.....


For the woman here it aint bad to increase your manlyness as long as you keep at least some femininity.

For the women here, it ain't bad to increase your manlyness as long as you keep at least some femininity.

The same is true of men, I'd say.

I agree

And here I thought it was going to be a post .. "I put the Pandora in my front pocket, and it increased my manliness". As opposed to "I put it into my back pocket and broked it"

"I put my Pandora in my back pocket and decreased my manliness because I sobbed like a baby for 40 days and 40 nights!" Or something to that effect!


I'm still trying to figure out what the best course of action is for my Pandora... I have PTOD and case cracks... Been thinking if to attempt vital surgery myself, ordering the new case parts and cable... or just send it to ED... I think I'm verging on the latter after watching the helpful video he made.

Poke .. the PTOD isn't _that_ bad, as long as you're careful .. biut if you have shaky hands or never gotten into electronics before, may be best to go safe; At least ED is reliable and predictable so its just a matter of shipping delays.


But me, I didnt' want to risk any such funny business myself, just fixed it up myself; I've done a few now, not too bad.


Really, getting into the pandora bottom is trivial and pretty hard to bork; its getting into the LCD that is pretty screwy, that hinge makes you worry when you're prying at it

Really, getting into the bottom is trivial and pretty

Sure... manlyness

Hmmm ok I might just go for it. I have a fine soldering iron, I just need to grab some precision screwdrivers... and the replacement parts I guess.


It will be ok even if I mess it up I guess since I intend to get a 1GHz once I have a couple more monthly paydays under my belt.

 

[skeezix]

yeah, I'm hoping to order me a 1ghz this week, woowoo

I felt accomplished, too after swapping LCD cables. The biggest problem wasn't the soldering though, iw was removing the bezel from the screen part. Hot damn, did I have to twist and lever! Do the new cases fit snugly without bezel bending and cracking?


It also felt good to build a few tv-out cables, learning to solder to those tiny pins cost quite some nerve but it worked in the end - R.I.P. the connectors killed in action

No soldering iron required, it's a zif connector. Easy peasy. I do recommend getting 3 or 4 cables though, just in case. It can take a few tries before you figure out how to get them "just right" that they don't break again.

same here pandora's bottom is easy access, but it's hard to get into it's her top

The video by ED is a bit misleading since he solders the speakers to it but if you buy a LCD cable it comes with new already connected speakers.

Aha... that's more reassuring then!
