First job of the day a PS5 HDMI replacement the original port has been bent out of place ripping the solder points of the board for about a third of the contacts. Luckily I managed to fix one broken pad and solder the rest back up and add extra solder to the fixing points so it will have a bit more strength.

Time will tell, the client was happy so that's all that mattered.

All over and done with, what an emotional rollercoaster. This was taken this morning at the hall. All the families were making sure the hall was given back as it was given spotless.

I have been humbles by your words of kindness and understanding. Back to normal tomorrow.

Again thanks

Chas

1hr and counting thanks all for the lovely and positive messages it really means a lot.

Please note guys and girls. I am closed until Monday as I will be attending my daughter's wedding down south.

I will be back Monday as normal. I would usually apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but no this time lol. My eldest is getting married whoop whoop.

Have an awesome weekend folks see you next week.

Yup it's Friday and another series X in for repair HDMI replaced.

Another Xbox SeriesX came in with a damaged HDMI port. I managed to fix the damaged tracks. And the client went away happy he would be able to game over the weekend.

Mac repair all done happy client

PS5 repair new trace created after the solder pad had been torn from the circuit board accidentally.

Ok all fitted and linked up to an external monitor just in case I need a better view.

Another shot to put it into what was and is now the one that has been used for a few years is on the left and it's new big brother is going to help take the strain.

But will do my best to assist on my return.

And people ask small shops like mine "Why I can't you sell certain items as cheaply as Amazon". Maybe its because they have dodged paying TAX in the UK for years, and this year, we're awarded 7.7 million in subsidies from the UK Government. Yet their turnover for 2022 was 6.65bn.

So they avoided over the year,

£29,686,203.00 income tax and £1,323,518.60 National Insurance.

This is just 1 of many corporate companies that destroy our economy, so when you ask why the NHS is struggling, why don't we have enough police on the streets. Why are kids' charities struggling? Maybe this will help.

And before anyone comes back with the retort that they provide jobs for people, yep gig economy minimum wage and after paying all those folk they employ there staff paid more tax per head than they did as a business ?.

Amazon’s main UK division pays no corporation tax for second year in a row Amazon UK Services received tax credit of £7.7m for investment in infrastructure under Rishi Sunak’s super-deduction scheme

Well, that's another Xbox series X done these, and PS5's are becoming a common repair.

Sadly I will be closed until the 19th of this month due to receiving news that my father in law has passed away, and at this time, I need to support my wife and family.

I love this story. I'm not saying bargains don't exist. They do, but if a small business can't meet the prices of an international corporation that avoids TAX and VAT its not that they are doing it to be horrible they still need to pay mortgages and bills. But can't do that for nothing as well.

Also, using smaller businesses means you will get a more tailored service and personal service they will probably know you and you them, they will live in the same village and their kids will go to the same schools as yours.

Have a Great weekend.

Big love

Hey guys and gals I am closed until Tuesday due to having a break with my family it being Half term.

Sorry for any problems this may cause but will hopefully be able to assit on Tuesday.

Have a good Bank Holiday weekend.

Chas
