Is that a samsung s3. I have screen bought to do mine but scared about heat screen to Un stick glue. what way did you do it

She's an s3mini. But basically the same as the s3. I bought a kit on Internet which included the screen. I also opted to use the loca glue.

Plenty of videos on YouTube explaining all. I robbed herselfs hairdryer and heated the screen with it. You get plastic prying tools and plastic razor blades in the kit to gently pry the screen off bit by bit. It's slow methodical work. You need patience. I took off old screen last weekend and took an hour or so today putting on new screen.

Using the glue rather than the doubled sided tape, it's recommended to take out the mother board so that any surplus glue doesn't seep in. It's fiddly but not rocket science.

Herself knew a friend with a uv nail lamp to cure the glue.

Between time and bits and pieces l probably safed f**k all but l just get a great kick out of trying something new!!

Ok be honest...how many spare bits were left over

None! Everything went into the chinese tub!! 10 screws and the two buttons left and right, volume and on/off. Oh and the camera came away from the mother board but clipped it back in when assembling!

I really thought l'd have spare or broken pieces though! !

Same phone as myself Muckit! Great minds eh

Need to get myself a new case, i've battered the bejaysus out of it and broken all the sides off so the screen will be next to go unless I do!

Was quoted 200 to replace it back in September. Feck that.

Feck!! God didn't think it would be that price! It's time more than the materials. I think l got all the bits for 20-25 euro on ebay.

Think they were replacing whole screen even though i told them that screen was working and just outer glass needed replacing. With figures like that I'll have a go myself first.

Ive one of them too and a Galaxy Ace. Just love the instant web access. Too much hassle swapping SIM plus the risk of damaging SIM. Had the first decent samsung builders phone too. Grand job for calls and texts.

No it's like a builders phone, don't use web on it screen is too small. Excellent as a phone tho. Use iPad for Internet. Easily get a week on battery. Previous model was even more robust.

Not farming related but thought I'd stick it up anyway.
I had a leak coming from the bath upstairs. So I took off the cover on the side of the bath and I found this!:eek:

visatorro · 20-01-2015 09:09PM

have2flushtwice · 20-01-2015 11:22PM

Odelay, i am toilet trained, maybe the last tenants took a dump in the bath, if they did i don't want know about it!
Maybe I should change my username due to the water charges!

Whatever about the turf it looks like a can of expanding foam exploded under the bath too. That stuff is the messiest thing ever invented. Half the houses in the country built during the boom are being kept together with it. That and Gripfill.

This stuff might be better than a sod of turf http://sugru.com/about Has anyone on here used it? I'm thinking of trying a bit for cracked jfc water trough.

Hi Blue. I managed to run a buck-rake tine in through the bottom and out the end of a JFC drinker. (One of the green ones, bolted to a wall with 2 steel straps)

It kicked about for a year or so, and I intended to tek screw two patches over the holes, using silicon to seal them. But I found that the plastic JFC use is easy to melt together if you use a very small flame in a blow torch. A gas welding tip is better, just keep the flame small. You can cut a piece out of the top of the drinker (this allows you easy access to the ball-cock, anyway) and use it as a filler material.

Happened to call to a man who is very experienced in all types of welding a weeks ago to get a price to repair the hanging brackets on a few 12 teat milk feeders.
He had a stove/burner throwing out some serious heat into his workshop.
It was a cylinder thingie about 2' tall x 8/10" diameter with lots of small holes drilled for air vents and a flue out the back near the top.
It is fuelled from waste oil that he collects from changing the car/jeep/tractors that he and his family have.

Is this your machine base
