Some one at my work wanted me to take a look at their projector. The analog VGA connectors were flaky causing a distorted picture. After a couple of months of it sitting in my lab, I decided it was time to take it apart.

My work had 3 of these Emerson MW8992SB microwaves that were broken. 2 of them would let you program how long you wanted to cook something, but would fail to ever heat up. The last one would not even turn on once you plugged the microwave into the wall outlet. I thought that I could at least make one good one out of the bunch and save a bit of cash.
So my car battery charger had some sparks coming from the bottom when I would plug it into the wall, so I thought that I would bring the whole thing into my lab and fix it. I’ve had this for about 10 years so its time for a little TLC.
A friend of mine gave me 2 outdoor solar lights. His instructions were simple; use the parts from both lights to make one of them functional. At first look, one of the lights seemed to be held together with more duck tape and hot glue, then structural material. I immediately chose that one to be the parts donor. The light that looked like it was all together just had a broken switch on the PCB so you could not turn it on.
I was called over to a house because the TV would not turn on. I packed up my tools and headed over there to see what the problem was.
The product was a old 32 inch CRT tv, and the brand was Panasonic. First, I verified that the TV was plugged in to an outlet with power, and that there was no status light.
