MacBook Pro repair, phone battery death
Jun. 25th, 2023 10:54 pmSo, yesterday, I had to get some double-sided tape to repair my MacBook Pro's screen. See, when the machine shipped from the eBay seller, it took a ding on one corner. That ding was enough to separate the plastic cover of the screen assembly from the rest of it, and as a result, dust kept getting under it, rendering it uncleanable in most cases. Eventually, the dust got into the adhesive, and it failed, so... double-sided tape! And it's working quite well, all things considered. Screen hasn't come apart again since I adhered it down.
That said, time hasn't treated my phone well. A Samsung Galaxy S5, it's pretty old. The battery finally failed after it went into thermal runaway, causing the phone to kinda lose some of its protections at the time. It couldn't charge, it was pushing the CPU and GPU to 100%, and it wasn't shutting down. As a result, the battery has started on its path to spicy pillowdom. Thankfully, a replacement wasn't too expensive, so that's on its way.
Right to repair... Such a wonderful thing.
