What was the most recent thing you broke?

Trollheart · 03-20-2018, 06:00 AM

Robbing shamelessly from Dude111's idea, let's hear it. What was the last thing you stepped on, smashed against the wall, dropped down the toilet, ran over with your car etc and how important was/is it to you? Was it yours? Did you repair or replace it? Can it be repaired or replaced? Did you break something of someone else's and keep quiet about it?

Personally, for me, it was a camcorder I got from the office as a going-away (and stay away!) present. It fell on the ground and now there's a message "HDD Failure" flashing when I try to activate it. I reckon I may be able to fix it (if so, I'll post in Dude's thread later) as I feel all that's happened is that the HDD has come loose - like, whatever tiny ribbon cables or whatever hold it in place have become detached - but the screws are too small for any of my screwdrivers. Bought a new set at the weekend but haven't yet got around to seeing if I can open it. We'll see how it goes: can't make it any worse anyway, right?

My PC speakers this Saturday. I played some bassy music and one speaker started rattling. Then I bought new ones. Probably just coincidence, but it felt like I broke it with my music.

Whoa! Ya had me there for a second.

I've tried flats, too dull for my liking. I tried Elixers, too bright. I always go back to Nickel 10's.
