Suggestion for new video

[johnboxall]

Was sitting here a moment ago cursing a relatively new POS multimeter that the retailer has exchanged twice already, and have decided to just give up on it. Dave - perhaps we could mail you our dud meters... you could then line them up in a row and drive over them, with it being filmed. There could be a Guinness record in there somewhere!

[DJPhil]

That reminds me of my favorite techno-vengeance video . . .



It just caught me right and had me laughing, I keep it handy to threaten random things with once in a while.

looks like a good way get stuff apart for recycling the metals, not sure that my dad would want to adopt it though

[EEVblog]

Perhaps I so need a novel automated way to dispose of crap meters? ;-)

Dave.

[Simon]

fire them out of something like an electromagnetic canon, then again the good old sledge hammer is probably quite novel

I agree with that video, I have a HP DV series laptop and when it comes to support HP sucks !

Good thing is that EBay has cheap spare parts for this machine.

At work we have HP PCs and a service contract with HP. Don't ask. Just don't ask.   

[Simon]

that's why i build my own, handpick every part so have less chance of crap bit that screw the whole thing

Take it back for the final time an ask for your money back.

Normally I would, and they'd be happy to refund it... but it takes me about two hours round trip. Time is money and all that.

I did not want to open a new topic, so...

Maybe Dave can take advantage of this.

Pretty funny, but what a waste.

My mate had similar issues with his laptop. So brought it back to life by reflowing the solder under the GPU with a heat gun.

I wonder what would happen to a multimeter in one of those induction coils.

A tennis or baseball launcher! Electromagnetic railgun would work too!

Put them into a tree grinder that spits out mulch. Or a rock crusher.
