Ever fix a bent iPad with a rubber mallet? I have.
'Nuff said.
True that. Still, it was bent in such a way to have the volume buttons jammed up.
Proper fix would have taken like an hour to remove the touchscreen, disassemble it, bend it back straight, and reassemble it.
I looked at it and took my chances, knowing the touchscreen digitizer layer only cost $7 at the time. So I was like screw it, lemme try this cheap trick instead.
I put it face down on the bench, with a piece of paper to hopefully protect the screen. I put a piece of wood on the back side and smacked it with a mallet.
Worked perfectly, plus I got to go to lunch about an hour earlier.
Given the piece of wood I used to cushion the blow, I probably could have used a hammer instead 🤷♂️
what about those who hit it with a hammer sometimes?
It depends what we are hitting with a hammer. And is 2:02am the only time we do this?
Then there’s the 2.5 people. The ones who would absolutely hit it with a hammer if they could just find one, so they use a wrench/pliars/screwdriver impotently, instead.
there are two kinds of people:
people who try to split humanity in half with some random attribute and lack thereof, and people that don’t.
