Recently I got (from Hong Kong) replacement for my Sony DSC WX9 display (LCD) because original get’s cracked.  Look, they put “Sony” logo at frame , it Look’s like original!

Here are some pictures form repair ( I don’t record video because that was my camera witch i’m using for make video:) second it was my first time when i was doing lcd replacement in digital camera so it took long  and i was using only my common sense. So there are no educational point in looking at me trying to open it :). But as You can see  i done it successful-y :>

Working perfect!

Yesterday i had to replace SCART socket soldered to PCB.

That many pins looks very creepy to desolder but i’m being lucky and from around half year i’m owner of ZD-915 “china made :)” desoldering station.

I’v got idea to make movie from it, to let You guys see how useful this device is in real situation.

I could do this faster, but camera on tripod was blocking my movement 🙂

Some pictures

About month ago i found that my car cigarette lighter USB charger stop working…

After investigation and measuring voltages on output i found that problem is not in charger circuitry but in USB socket itself.

That charger was worth about 1 USD…  but is it worth to repair?

I open charger, and check ebay (china sellers) to found same type USB socket.

I found 🙂 1 USD / 10 pcs with shipping included! I bought and pack all charger parts into ziploc bag for future repair.

After waiting time of 1 month , today my pack of 10 USB sockets arrived and i could start “repair”.

As You can see on last picture, my phone is very happy being charged 🙂

Repair took about 5 minutes

My conclusion:

I could order new one for 1 USD and put old to trash but instead of throwing out this 1 USD i got  10pcs USB sockets. I use one of this and i have 9 left in my “lab” for future experiments and of course working charger. 🙂 As You can see, sometimes it’s worth to fix something cheap 🙂
