"Ham-fisted Shrek hands" strikes again... a slip of the grip just turned a $120 iPad Air 2 into A $220 one.
Looks like I fixed the charging issue; believe it or not, it appears there was a screw missing from the battery connector from the factory on this one. But even taking as much care as I could muster, I still managed to slip and nick a corner of the LCD with my guitar pick while disassembling. Now the display has "terminal plaid". Got a new one on the way; hopefully here before Christmas, as I bought from a vendor in Tejas. So now I just have to wait.

Looking like we have a second "penis fingers" in the group now
Oh, I know we have more than that, but they aren't prepared to admit it.
Oops
I may be a assh'o; but I'm a honest assh'o.
I figured if I can help one other user not screw in an upward direction, it was worth a little embarrassment.
And the moral of today's story is:
Be EXTRA careful disassembling your 4th, 5th, & 6th generation iPads. To make them thinner and less bezel, the LCD is just a few mm away from the edge and completely unprotected. All these yoyos posting videos of how to take the thing apart COULD warn you about this, but they DON'T. *~Ka-Ching!!!~* On a related note: that
$12 set of opening tools from SLAmazon worked a treat; the phone opening pliers are simply MAGICAL. Absolute control of the initial lid-prying part of the process; no effing around holding one side down with an elbow, etc. Give just enough of a squeeze to get your first pick in, then start working your way around the circumference.
And the rest of the hand tools are also surprisingly adequate. The handles on the drivers are cheap overmolded crap, but the tips themselves are definitely above average for the cheap shit.
3 penis fingers has to be better than 5 ! Oh, how we learn from our stuff ups....especially when they cost !
And you can't fuse that display together with a short puff of dwagons breath ?
Tried that... it went from "Ghosts Having a Snowball Fight With a Yeti" to "Nuthin' But Whut th' Gewd Laird Gevv' Meh Tartan". While in theory an improvement, still not sufficient resolution for the task at hand.
I have been paranoid playing with a circular saw and no proper table to fix timber bits to over the last few days. So far all fingers, toes and other appendages are still attached
Next time your S.O. complains about the space your test gear takes up start building a cave for your 300x300 3D printer (the box needed is about 800x600x700)
LOL!!!
And when she gives you the boot due to the stink of whatever semi-radioactive polymer you're printing with this week, you can always move in...
This seems to happen around Christmas. All the idiots come out and shitpost porn on here.
Then again Wikipedia page for Thanksgiving had an unexpected sausage display a while back
I have been on the Internet too long to even raise an eyebrow now. I've seen things that'd surprise a Vietnam vet now living in a dodgy bit of Thailand.
Ahhhhh.... mnemories....
Same here, nothing surprises me anymore. But I saw it and I should at least report it.
Those Thai women are damn beautiful. Problem is many of them aren't women.
Mmmmhmmm.... and some of 'em are both.
Drop round and add the poly to my 3D enclosure when you are done ready for the first coat tomorrow
I had just enough poly for the 3rd coat. I'm fresh out. You're on your own.
What... and let somebody else have all the fumes...? err... fun?
