So my Powerbook power cord blew again. And in the middle of working so I had to drive the hour to the Apple Store and buy a new one. meh.
Now the light on the latch that indicates sleep is either constantly on while the computer is awake or blinking erratically. Awesome! No word on how to fix that, I googled but all I seem to find is a possible loose connection of the ambient light sensor to the logic board. I don’t know how to solder. meh.
The Wii is also broken. Chris thinks the laser arm is stuck because it will only read some discs some of the time, other times it freezes. Nintendo would like $82.50 for the privilege of fixing this. I think we might crack it open and see if something is catching first. The nice Nintendo of America lady said it would be $82.50 either way so why the heck not try doing it ourselves first.
I did repair my mid-century ottoman today which was terrific. I know, it isn’t an electronic device but still it has been needing repair for months. One of the metal plates that the legs attach to was corroded and broke so I went ahead and replaced all four of them. Good as new!
Haven’t been up to too much lately. Looking for full-time work is my main purpose at the moment, hopefully I’ll have some good luck soon with that soon.
