I learnt that when you melt lead in the kitchen and drop it as the pan handles hot it melts most things in the kitchen it comes into contact with
Still got the clip on my ear from that bit of a chemistry lesson !

To all those who appear to have invited themselves to my "house-warming party". Next you'll be suggesting I allow alcohol in the house.

If I WERE to have one, I would not invite anyone who ate me out of house & home, or were a hairy inbred, tall, had 4 kids, were a miserable old git, or older than me. So that's Vinni, Chomps, Mr Giblin, Methuselah, & Thewy off the list. Someone with nice tits would be OK though.   

 

When you say 'nice'.. how piccy are you exactly?

What a GREAT question - wonder why nobody thought to ask that before?

Will reply after my power-nap.

Joey Barton is having "one of his ranty days" on Twitter today, he must have Tweeted 10 times in the last 10 minutes, & he is pretty wound up.

His handle is "Joey7Barton" if you enjoy that sort of thing.

We all use all this modern kit, with barely a thought to what goes into making it. How many Play Station users know – or care – what’s inside their toy?

Never gave it a second thought until mine broke down, bought it at launch for ~£425 so was obv gutted ! (Though in theory it doesn't owe me anything for the amount of use i got out of it in 4 years)

The problem,
So set about googling the fault and found it was quite common, apparently the machine gets full of dust over time and the fan can no longer keep the processors cool which causes the solders connecting it to the motherboard to liquify breaking their joints.

The fix,
Simple, strip out the motherboard and blast the processors and surrounding areas with a heat gun to re-flow the solder !

The stip down,

The 2 silver squares in the middle of the board are the processors, notice the look of joy on the youths face while he is holding the board  his mum had put her foot down and said we couldn't have a new one until Christmas. This was our only chance, lol.

Warm it up,
Just blast them suckers  from both sides of the board  You just need a flat surface really, cooker was perfect.
