    Let's build a DIY fume extractor

    Ill definitely upload some shares as my next iteration progresses. Ive just now order sheet of 1/4" plexi-glass for a clients project. The remnants of that project are going to make my new upgraded box. This will make an excellent show piece as youll be able to see all the guts and glory...

    about phone system setup tutorial

    This problem is always a NAT issue. Three areas to check: Nat on router - make sure ports are open and properly routed Nat on pbx - make sure port ranges are set properly on all pbx levels Lastly... Asterisk has a config file where you set up your external ip and enable nat as a whole. (This...

    Best place to buy lab grade IPA and distilled water?

    Truely pure water is actually not very conductive. By removing more particles and contaminents you will lower the conductivity of your water supply. Deionization adds that extra little push to remove salts and trace metals that your reverse osmosis misses. Heres a good scientific answer...

    Best place to buy lab grade IPA and distilled water?

    Ive asked before, but ill ask again... Have u not had any bad luck buying IPA on ebay. For me, it was like buying snake oil, elixers and tonics... Never as advertised. Also, after the last article i read im starting to rethink my position on IPA at least in tech grade form. Article spoke...

    Best place to buy lab grade IPA and distilled water?

    Actually reverse osmosis is not the same as distilled water. You can achieve the same quality water though by a deionization stage to your reverse osmosis. Distilled water is free of all salt ion and other positive metalic ions. Reverse osmosis water from tap is not. If you are using filtered...

    compleet retards when there ipad or iPhone breaks

    Ill share a secret The only way to make instant repair a success is to have screens premade and ready to go. Whether you buy them or refurbish them in house. If you want to refurbish cell phone screens youll need to spend some money. I cant say that if i was buying that equipmemt today and...

    Best place to buy lab grade IPA and distilled water?

    I posted a link to an article that had a link for a reputable company. Id have to reference that to check as their prices were pretty good;if you buy five gallons. Its slightly better pricing on same stuff i buy now. Currently using techspray from all-spec.com. Ebay often resulted in lower...

    What's the future of the repair business?

    Marketing my friend. This industry is still underserved, which is why and how you make money in. People break their shit like its going out of style. I had one customer that had anger issues. He was good for about two device repairs per month... Every time the wife pissed him off he through a...

    Branson EC banned in UK - any alternatives?

    I posted link to 80khz unit, but as per manfucturers recommendation the 60khz unit is probably better suited. Sorry, i was being lazy again.

    What's the future of the repair business?

    So true. That business model was great for us, but has taken a dive. We will continue with it, but not as a focus and certainly not a future proof business model. Look at the droid turbo and new s7. Not bulletproof, but damn near close. Also now with gorilla glass 4, aftermarket...

    What's the future of the repair business?

    I think the next thing is transitioning. Migrating your business model to B2B. Make money with repairs and build brand, but long term goal, at least for me, is leveling up to a become a competitor in the business IT market. We handle some small business needs now, but the real money is in...

    What's the future of the repair business?

    This a good point. I have also noticed that sites like ebay have driven up the price of the 'broken for parts' market and driven down the cost of the refurbished market. The one thing i would say is that youve got to find other supply chains for your parts, as ebay will rarely make sense...

    BGA Scope

    I agree with you on profiles. My machine is just ACHII (pos), so probably partly to blame... But profiles vary based on what room has going on in it and has never been perfect. Setting up an enclosure to remove variables is not worth it either, in terms of space or time. Ive order a similar...

    Branson EC banned in UK - any alternatives?

    Heres an option available on tendie and i believe they sale overseas. Ive been following them for a while, but have not purchased. The only definitive good thing i can say about them is that i have never found anything bad said about them. I recently emailed the owner. He was very savvy in...

    BGA Scope

    Maybe, if you wanted too, u would have positive results from contact the manufacturer and requesting them to send you a test/loaner unit to make a review video of. Your viewership, in my opinion, would merit them doing so. Im really curious to get a real users opinion vs the sales &...

    Recomended tools by Louis,

    You should also look at superwide lens. I have the working distance, but the field of view for my lens is very narrow, which is why my next upgrade is to get some super wide view lens that still offers the greater working distance. Also, its not just the lens on the bottom of your scope...
