Broke the end off a 7135 chip on a 5-chip custom 105d driver, apparently by cranking down too hard on a driver retaining ring.
I suspect it was already cracked as I was tightening the retainer trying to restore proper behavior, it had quit working reliably.
Oops.
My Ice Maker broke itself today. Luckily I took out P.C. Richardsā 10 year warranty. Totally worth the $300 I spent. My warranty runs out in May of 2022.
Broke a leg from a AMC7135 in my attempt to bend and add to a driver, plus cracked a glass while assembling my S2+ triple. I guess Iām supposed to remove the glass when using the triple tir optics
My air conditioner broke today 
And itās 40 C todayā¦
Broke my smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo. Fell from my hand when I was fetching it off the hanging workpants during break time, when I was going to check my tracking codes (for a new Convoy S2 and a pair of Wii-Mote controllers)
But to be fair, I had already lost hope for it: the firmware didnāt update past Android Kit-Kat so I could hardly use the SD card storage, the outer host was all chipped paint, I couldnāt connect it to the PC as an external USB device (took forever to load, then failed), the screen had cracked under the protection, the silicone cover I put on it fell to desiccated pieces months ago, it sometimes crashed so hard it reset completely, and the battery was so worn, anything below 30% meant basically no charge at all. It was a trooper, but itās been officially 3 years since I got it, and it was time to retire the old soldier ( v_v)7
Tonight, after I give my presentation for the final uni paper, Iām headed off to get a Motorola 
I broke the power supply for my Raspberry Pi. :cry:
Today i have learned the hard way that you always have to be careful with a soldering iron!
While solder blobbing brand new (my first 26650ās) i accidently shorted one (which gave a nice spark) because i had the big part/edge of the iron too close to the edge of the cell, that made the wrap melt, all because i forgot the size, im used to 18650ās probably, which never gave problems.
Cell is ok, need to rewrap it.
Try this on for size: I was messing with the hidden menu of my 46ā flat screen TVā¦hit the wrong button and bricked it! Wonāt even turn on or anything!
Solution: Buy new motherboard for TVā¦$240!
Not a bad price for a TV repair considering, but a TERRIBLE price to pay for just poking buttons on the remote!
Ouch!
What TV is that? I guess Samsung. There is a chance you can revive it; some will accept a fw from a usb drive or have a serial port exposed.
I broke a magnet ring while trying to fit it to the tail of X6.
Yaā¦samsungā¦tried the USB fw thingā¦didnt work. I read in some forums you could remove the eeprom chip and reflash it, etc, etcā¦but that was above and beyond my capabilities and I would have to buy the hardware to reflash it with no guarantee it would solve the issue. Quickest and not much more expensive than buying chip flashers was just to replace the board. Installed itā¦works againā¦expensive lessonā¦ugh!
Not today, or even yesterday, but on March 25th I ābrokeā my arm/neck (slipped a couple of discs in my neck, pinched the radial nerve in my left arm. Still dealing with the arm pain even after surgery) while pruning trees away from the house ā¦
on June 22nd (because of the March 25th incident) I broke a new spending record for myself. $100,805.35 for the Ti plate in my neck. Geesh.
And today, I broke another record for myself, as of 1:55 this afternoon I will be 55 yrs old, feeling it, feeling it all too wellā¦
Have been on Dr.s orders to cease and desist for the past 8 weeks, who knows what I might have broken had I not been sitting around on my hands. 
Titanium sure is expensive where you live
My expensive ($25) multi-meter broke. Screen no longer works even with new battery. Funny thing is my cheap harbor freight multi-meter keeps on working and has been for at least 2 years. lol
I know, right?
They even put it on crookedā¦
Almost had a screw break throughā¦
But oh well, bone is already fusing to the plate, guess itās too late to finagle it into true at this point, huh? lol
Dale, I hope you have health insurance. If so, how much did they cover out of that almost $101k?
Broke a Zaneflare F6 little brass 10180 light. Got it apart to find out it has the emitter board with components on the underside. Not emitter swappable for my level.
Put it back together and no workie. Its (Was) an ugly greenish tint. Good thing I only paid $5 for it. Really a useless lightā¦ Whistle does not work and is a waste of space making the light longer and heavier that it should be. The head design wastes space too. Really could have been a nice little light, in Brass. Almost as long as my AAA Olight I3E EOS Copper. For the $5 deal I bought more than one, makes this one a parts light. Managed to shorten another to a somewhat usable sizeā¦
Note to self: Always check the temperature setting before reflowing. :person_facepalming:
Didnāt quite break it, but gave my M1 a sizable crack to the lens. I didnāt set it down properly on the towel rack and it fell, and in my hurry to catch it I sent my hand hurtling down and only managed to slap it downwards to hit the ground even harder.
Look on the bottom right of the bezel:
Now Iām waiting for the replacement lenses. Simon is a real bro!
