did he throw that thing on a subway power rail or what?
wej has joined #qi-hardware
<
whitequark>
which one?
<
DocScrutinizer05>
the last link
<
DocScrutinizer05>
I don't even know if that's one or more devices
<
DocScrutinizer05>
or one in many pieces, or whatever
<
DocScrutinizer05>
it all looks like a 50kA surge rushed over it
<
whitequark>
it has 11 photos
<
whitequark>
which ones do you mean?
<
whitequark>
if you mean the 4th with capacitors, the repairperson has soldered the blown caps of capacitors together
<
whitequark>
if you mean the 7th, it's the thermal grease
<
DocScrutinizer05>
ooh
<
DocScrutinizer05>
and what happened to that nvidia thing?
<
DocScrutinizer05>
3rd photo
<
DocScrutinizer05>
that looks like after atomic blast
<

"if a BGA chip doesn't want to desolder, you can of course tear it off, and then put it back on superglue, the owner won't even notice"
<
whitequark>
all examples are from different devices

whitequark: hehe, so a pun
<
DocScrutinizer05>
sort of joke, irony, whatever
<
whitequark>
I'm actually not sure if that was a joke
<
whitequark>
given the other things on that page...
sb0 has joined #qi-hardware
<
DocScrutinizer05>
I guess the whole page is a joke
<
DocScrutinizer05>
when a capacitor vented, there's pretty little use in soldering the vent to seal it again
<
whitequark>
no, it's not a joke
<
whitequark>
it's a list of real repairs made by very incompetent people
<
whitequark>
"repairs"

*AWESOME*
<

"real repairs made by very incompetent people" counts as joke in my book :-)
<
DocScrutinizer05>
a "WTF" site
<

"...the owner won't even notice" makes sense from this POV
