With my digicam repaired, I took the opportunity to photograph the rest of my furniture for my ‘new home’ album. You can see the new pictures on this and the following pages.
And thanks to my grat repair success on my cam, I took on some other stuff that needed mending: the reading lights on my bed, that were mounted too low by the people who delivered my furniture, and the non-working front left tweeter in my car.
The reading lights proved to be a little tricky as I cannot move my bed due to its weight and only had about 10 centimeters to manoever the screwdriver. I eventually managed to drive the screws back into the wood at the height that I wanted the lights to be.
The speaker in my car was bound to be trouble as I didn’t really know where the problem was (could be anywhere from a defective tweeter, the cabling or a defective audio filter sitting under the glove compartment). Fortunately my worst fear, a defective cable somewhere behing the dashboard, proved to be untrue. It would have been an absolute nightmare to dismantle the whole dashboard. The audio filters seemed to be working fine and I eventually traced the cause of the issue to a connector on the tweeter. 20 seconds to fix that and a whole long time to get everything back in place (the amount of time required to get the filters back into their hiding place under the glove compartment and the cover screwed back on makes up for 50% of my repair time) and I was set.
Whew, another few jobs well done. At least I didn’t pull a Tim Taylor on anything. ;)
