Fixing Broken Halloween and Christmas And Garden Lights that have been tangled up and pulled apart roughly. There are lots of fancy led lights on sale for Halloween, Christmas or for garden and other parties. Although relatively cheap as a one off they tend to be purchased in bulk and when they are being put away they tend to be thrown in bags or boxes with or within dying or dead batteries inside. For some spooky sub-atomic reason, however carefully they are collected together they always seem to tangle themselves together in such a way as to make the user lose patience trying to pull them apart. This often involves ripping out one or other of the wires from the powerpack in an attempt to untangle them.
Such was the fate of these Halloween LED Bat lights and rather than throw them away, this is how I set about fixing them.

How To Fix Cracked And Broken Plastic Box Lids
Most storage box plastic doesn't recycle and becomes brittle over time. These box usually break when taking the lids on and off and my wife had two boxes which suffered such breakages. Rather than throw them out, and them end up in landfill, I decided I'd fixed1t applying a think layer of Flexible Hot Glue from a hot glue gun, but hot glue by its nature leaves and ugly mess. Here is how to make it look better whilst at the same time strengthening the bond and fix.
Here is how I do it.

How To Teardown A Cubee Robot Speaker For Servo Repairs - Part 4 Replaci...

After my Cubee Robot Bluetooth Speaker took a fatal dive at the floor, I am determined to fix my Cubee problems I found in Part 1. In Part 2 I tore down Cubee and I Identified that the right leg and hip servos were broken and needed to be replaced. In this Part 3, I replaced the Cubee right ankle servo, what I imagined would be a simple task of extracting the broken servo and swapping in a replacement took far longer and was more difficult than than I expected. In this part 4 I replaced the right hip servo which was indeed damaged.
I always advise people to watch the entire video series if they wish to copy (at their own risk) what I have done, but in this case its crucial you do or I can almost guarantee you will make the same mistakes I did, or worse and as I have the tools and resources to correct things you may be left with a Cubee you broke. Simple Don't skip through this video series if you have a Cubee.
Please don't forget to give a Thumbs Up, Share and most importantly Subscribe to this fixed1t channel by clicking the subscribe button to be informed about Part 3 - Where I will be replacing the right ankle servo.

How To Tear Down An Anki Cozmo
#fixed1tROBOTtips
A recently purchased Anki Cosmo turned out to have both a defective screen(just black pixelated with white dots) its full of stars and dying battery, so I plan to replace them both. I was hoping to repair the screen but given yet another stupid manufacturer Anki apparently paranoid about intellectual property had proprietary screens made by a manufacturer who no longer makes them, and Anki themselves went bust, it leaves owners in another stupid position. My view is if they have used standard screen hardware people would have been able to keep using them and get them fixed and companies wouldn't go bust due to increasing numbers of returns they can't fix and broken stock they can't recycle. This is part one of a three part video.
Part One: Tearing Down An Anki Cozmo
Please Subscribe #fixed1t youtube to be informed about the release of:
Part 2: Identifying and replacing a Anki COZMO Battery
Part 3: Re-assembling an Anki COZMO
Re-assembly is not as simple as you may think which is why other videos say, now I'll put it back together and end.

Superglue Tube Dry Out Fix Part 2
SuperGlue Tube Dry Out Fix - Part 2
We all use small tubes of SuperGlue to fix things. But it is really irritating when you've had only a few drops out of the tube, and you go back to use it again and discover that its dried out or glue'd the cap onto the thin aluminum tube
WARNING - do not try to force the cap off, the tube with explode
spraying your hands, face and eyes with SuperGlue
