Myiutoday i replaced the broken fan on my nintendo switch (original model). it was the most difficult repair that i've done by far, because i had to unplug & plug connectors that i'm not familiar with and because it was my first time applying thermal paste. thankfully, i didn't break anything though, so i'm happy with the end result! <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/repairing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairing</a>

A new feature this year will be '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BookSwaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BookSwaps</a>,' one for adults and one for children. The café has a friendly and fun ambience and combines an enjoyable family activity with a rewarding outcome."Annalise Stenekes has led the project since its inception and has gathered a dedicated and talented team of fixers who will attempt to repair a variety of items, including bicycles, lamps, home appliances, sewing machines, jewelry and audio/visual and computer equipment. Small furniture items will be repaired, clothing and footwear mended and toys given new life."Last year, 230 kilograms of items were given a new lease on life, diverting potential waste from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/landfill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landfill</a> and saving an estimated $1,000."'<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Repairing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Repairing</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/reusing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reusing</a> broken items, as opposed to disposing of them and purchasing new ones, is a practical and meaningful contribution we can make for our environment,' says local resident Wendy Kirk. 'The Repair Café is also a feel-good place — at times the joy is tangible when someone’s prized item is restored to its former usefulness.'"Repair Café events are happening around the world, saving money, reducing landfill waste, cutting CO2 emissions, promoting learning and fostering community connections."Source: <a href="https://www.orilliamatters.com/local-news/need-something-fixed-orillia-repair-cafe-returning-in-april-10371696" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.orilliamatters.com/local-news/need-something-fixed-orillia-repair-cafe-returning-in-april-10371696</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafesOntario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairCafesOntario</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairCafes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuildingCommunity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FixIt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FixIt</a>

Dave Lane :flag_tino: 🇳🇿Whelp, feeling rather chuffed. Just disassembled our ailing 7yo front loader washing machine with my son, and we replaced the broken drain pump/impeller unit (luckily, we were able, after a lot of time researching, to figure out which part was right for that model. Put it back together and (amazingly) didn't have *any* screws left over. It passed various tests (like the ability to drain water, which was failing before), and it passed! Huzzah! <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/Repairing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Repairing</a> FTW!

For contrast, I choose a chicken print from the Provence, and for harmony, more patches. It's nearly ready. Problem: the remaining collar tips are unequal.

charFixing broken, malfunctioned or old electronic stuff, nowadays is a mandatory act.
