Annoying thing is I've desoldered heaps of ICs before just using my soldering iron and a solder sucker... this one's just being a right prick for some reason.

I too, have desoldered many before but I can tell you now, if you sit there with the solder iron on it for too long, whe nyou go to lift it, you will pull the track up with it. The ONLY way you should do it is with a heat gun or cut the pins, then manually extract each one with a bit of heat from the solder iron and a pair of pliers. I hope it's not too late

Yeah I know. I don't think that will happen but I did get a little bit drunk and then a little bit angry...

If I have f*cked any of it a little circuit repair shouldnt be a problem. Unless the PCB is multilayer, which I don't think it is? (Two sided is OK, just as long as there are no middle layers)

Fark! Keen! It'd probably take me 6!

Would take me all weekend. Guaranteed. There might only be 3.5 hours work in that, but it would take all weekend to get done :P.

Hopefully I'll be able to save it! haha

They are a double sided non multi-layer board. I already had to make a repair on one of the fine tracks, not sure if you saw it. If you can get it to me before Thursday, I can get it back to you on Thursday. If not, it would be Sunday at the earliest as I'm in Melb for TopGear Live on Sat.

Let me know ;-)

Big boy

Woohoo! Got the card in the mail for my turzbro. Will have it in my hands

Hopefully I'll be able to save it! haha

I have faith :thumbsup:

Short of driving out to you right now (and I really CBF) thursday will be the earliest I can get it to you.

Sunday would be grand, but if you can't manage it no big deal :).

You know that TGL came to brisbane right? You didn't need to go to melbourne to see it :P

Big boy

Thanks Babe.

Today was international women's day. I didn't get given a single sandwich! What the hell did we give them their own day for if they can't even thank us for it with sandwiches?!

lol

Morning Mangs,

^^^Forgot to finish that sentance, awesome. Still makes for a good 'thats what she said'.

WHat I meant to say is I will have it in my hands this afternoon :)

Had a GG of cricket last night, Made 20* off 10 balls, and my 2 overs were 3/-2. We took full points for the game but the team above us also won, so we didn't make the finals :(. I think they are going to run a second set of finals though for all the teams that didn't make the real ones...

Anyone know what's involved in switching from 3 to Telstra when my contract expires (soon :)) and keeping my current number?

Go into a Fone Zone, not a Telstra shop.

Hand them the phone and say make it work on Telstra networks

Also going to visit Dan today for a service.

That's what she said.

Why Fone Zone over Telstra shop?

My phone won't work on telstra network :(, I'll need a new phone.

Oh and I believe it's filling day today. Can only see 1/10th of my desk.

Sucks to be you.

Walk into a Telstra Shop.

"Hi, I'm currently a customer with 3 and I'm sick of their shitty service. I want to switch carrier to you guys but keep my current number, what can you do for me?"

Watch them fall over themselves trying to get you to switch.

I did this when the iPhone 4 came out. I had been a business customer with Optus for 7 years and they told me it would be a two month wait for the iPhone as my contract had 6 months to go at that point. I walked into Telstra and they had a phone in my hand, doubled the data allowance for the plan at no cost, paid my early exit fee from Optus and paid the transfer fee for the number and had it all done in less than 30 minutes. Two month waiting because of contract reasons is not how you treat a customer who has been with you for 7 years. My entire family pulled their contracts and went to Telstra as well for more or less the same reasons with similar results.

Sounds good. Do I have to do anything with 3 then to cancel my service or will the telstra mugs handle it all?

Keen for double data allowance :)

    • Hey team, paid peanuts for a pair of r32 gtr seats, passenger is in good condition but drivers has definitely seen some action…. wanted to brain storm if there was any way on saving it, or a shop that can do it. the back bar is snapped on both ends and in the corner. 
    • You know the saying, a poor man pays twice, sometimes fourice lol.
    • Got a quote back Manifold is $1500 and the dump $740 My only concern is the stainless dump, and the possibility of it cracking, I need to look into it more IRT the dump It does look like it would be the best method though, albeit a costly best method
    • Hi guys, I'm looking for a rego inspection place in Perth. That is friendly to JDM cars if that even exists. Recently purchased an r32gtr it's quite stock just has cool overs and a car back exhaust.   secondly anyone roughly know what the cost for a front cv boot replacement would cost ?   cheers ! 
    • Hey guys, Just thought it might be of interest to owners of the RB25 det NEO motor, that awesomeness Nitto are in the late process to produce an engine gasket kit by end of Jan 25.  I think obviously there will be an 25det kit too. cheers, Ian
