It was a rhetorical question. 
Sounds like he’s got everything under control… except the roof. I hope the roof won’t be too much of a pain to fix.
Yes I did not like notebooks too but with the regular power drops and the need to be able to move to another room (we live in different areas in winter then in summer) so a notebook made sense , though I have a big one with room for a fee hard drives so it comes close to a desktop experience
And well it worked when I pressed it off and then dried it and placed it up side down on a fee towels, I kind of expecf it to boot up and work normal tomorrow.
A little over 6mm
It is not steep.
I needed 220 new tiles on a low part a while back.
It is all done 30 years ago and then old tikes were reused.
So winds and age make then slowly glide down and some crack.
Reason I needed 220 was that it was my first time on a roof and I had no idea how to move and I wanted to freshen the look up a bit so evenly but randomly I changed some top tiles too,
Now I know how to get up there amd over without breaking tiles and I plan on leave the old ones as is so not fleshen the looks, it looks good. All I need is to change the shifted, cracked and probably hail-smashes tiles.
70 new tiles ready
Just had 4 x 30Q button tops land from Fasttech, $19.43 delivered to the UK in just over 2 weeks.
Capacities look decent (2906, 2971, 2961, 2957mAh).
The button tops are different from the ones shown on the site:
They also appear to be about 1mm longer (to my uncalibrated eye) than the button tops with the smaller button that I got a while back.
Now I just need a light to put them in 
Can I be put on the list for one?
Welcome to BLF!
Yes I’ll add you next list update.
Actually it is not the best method to use rice. The problem is not the water. the problem is the salt and minerals in the water. and if u let it dry (using rice or a fan . . . ) the salt and minerals can still short things out. and it will still corrode further. (Should you put your phone in rice? Only if you want to buy a new phone - YouTube) a good inside look what happend if u use any simple dry method (jump to 36:40 to see a rice dryed pcb). Or check Louis comment and pics (How to use rice to repair water damage on iPhones and Macbooks - YouTube).
If your device gets wet first thing to do is get the battery out if possible. and then get the device to someone that can dissasemble it to get it cleaned. I did some of this repairs myself. using destilled water and isopropanol to clean the parts. some are still working.
Ah OK, well. I’ll open it up and see how it all looks
Did get a car fob working aftet it was drowned in hot cocoa with demi water and alcohol. Thanks
The Miller, if I can, I also wanted one.
Thanks.
I would like to be on the list if it isnt too late.
Does rain water have a heavy enough mineral presence to leave a robust evaporate film that short electronics? Honestly? How do grapes grow to make wine in France with so much salt present in the rain?
Hahaha water coming through the roof is not clean anymore.
There is not a hole in the roof, there is/are opening(s) where water enters, then finds its way down the several layers the roof is made of
Indeed was rain just directly fallen on it I would just dry and only open if not working.
So I’ll take a look anyways now
Will update list later!
Being the miller is living “down there” i would assume his roof are made of slate shingles, and since some have been pulverized there must be some minerals in the rainwater.
The first winter in my house we had snow blow into the sealing :person_facepalming: so the following summer i had to go up on the roof and fix the very top of it as that’s where the problem was.
And i can assure you sitting up there with one leg on either side of the roof, pretty fast that become only enjoyable to masochists.
So i had to dismount the roof pretty fast and go get something thick and soft to sit on while i scooted backwards on the roof top as i fixed the problem.
<—- grew up in Dad’s lumber yard, built quite a few houses after he sold the yard (they [Dad and his brother] had up to 7 carpenter crews, sawmill, lumber yard, 35 years) So I definitely know the feeling Sparky.
Sad to hear that TF will not give us the 3 bladed tailcap but it is nice to see that the Driver PCB is now secured properly!
The delaminating traces are not so nice! Hope that it will be possible to reflow new LED´s on the MCPCB at least one or two times before the delaminating gets to bad!
I hope that the delamination was caused by my impossibly hot 80W solder iron, and that normal reflow temperature does not cause it, and that it can handle multiple reflows without problems.
Just to note, I'm concerned about what djozz experienced, but I have worked with the ThorFire predecessor to this MCPCB in the round 1 and round 2 prototypes and didn't have the problem, or at least noticed it. I de-soldered/soldered wires and removed LED's, reflowed others on.
I use my Hakko at about 370C or so.
I used to see SinkPAD and Noctigons exhibit this separation if I went to hot on the hot plate, now I use a hot air station at 370º C and have zero issues.
If temps above 300°C is not a problem reflowing LED´s should be no problem. But maybee someone can test the last batch of MCPCB´s. After all this MCPCB is not cheap or easy to get if damaged.
I've been bad as of late - I've been reflowing LED's with a small torch, heating the underside of the MCPCB. Gotta keep it under control of course, very careful with the heat, but seems to work ok for me. Only problems I've had with MCPCB's has been with the KD ones - not full delamination but on edges of traces, they were pulling up.
True - we should do more testing on these. Not only are they not cheap, but may not be possible to replace directly. Dunno if ThorFire will offer these for sale or replacement. Other MCPCB's could be used of course, but with some modding work I'm sure.
