Who else fixes their own shit?
Who else fixes their own shit?
Especially with apple products. Buying parts and getting it fixed by Apple is way too expensive. I replaced my iPod battery for 0.80$, bought the battery on eBay. Same with a friend's iPhone, ordered a battery + tools on eBay for 8$ and fixed it. It's pretty easy and you save a LOT of money. Who else repairs their own stuff?
Dogs fucked the Pope, no fault of mine.
Re: Who else fixes their own shit?
Two summers ago, I spilled a massive glass of water right onto my MacBook. Apple quoted me $700, which obviously wasn't going to happen, so I went to ebay and bought a new top case (trackpad, keyboard) for $30, and did the repair myself. It's worked fine since then

Re: Who else fixes their own shit?
I've blown a few tubes and speakers, and then successfully re-tubed, re-biased, and re-coned the amps/speakers.
Mmmm, tubes...
I also do a lot of guitar setups because I'm not paying some schmuck 60 bucks to fuck up my neck.
Wait, are we talking about computers?

Re: Who else fixes their own shit?
I fix my own stuff whenever I can. :3
I also always assemble my own PCs, which I will have to do again soon, I believe. ;-)

Re: Who else fixes their own shit?
I allwase build/fix stuff myself.
I got education for electrician and IT.
Build all my pc's and servers myself, installed X10 in my house (yes i'm lazy).
I used to fix my car as well, with my old mazda.
But now i got one of those newer cars... so i just let the people deal with it that realy know what they are doing.
Only thing i hate fixing, are my dirty-dishes.

Re: Who else fixes their own shit?
Apart from assembling computers, nothing much. Don't know if that counts really... It's just screwing screws and applying thermal paste (which is as hard as putting butter on a bread)

Re: Who else fixes their own shit?
I dropped my phone in the water once. I let it sit in a bowl of dry rice for two weeks and it started working like a charm. Same thing with my iPod too.

A certain laboratory supplies seller constantly tries to rip me off so I make my own deadly strains of e. coli instead. Does that count?

Re: Who else fixes their own shit?
I fix everything...
My past job involved general contracting. That job requires you to do drywalling, mudding, electrical work, plumbing and everything else under the sun and moon.
I dont understand much about how computers work. I must of missed the episode of The Magic School Bus when they were talking about computers.
I do know my way around an internal combustion engine. From crankshafts to camshafts, to cylinder bore to taper. Its in my blood to fix and ogle at.
