OT : Electronic repairs in ChCh
I know this is totally off-topic, but with a collection of nerds like on this list, someone is bound to know this... ;-) Got a Palm Tungsten W (PDA cellphone (data) - needs headset for GSM phone bit). I brought a flip/protective cover with it that also had a cellphone headset built into it. Anyway the headset bit stopped working, so I unstiched the flip cover got the electronics out. Looks very simple...cellphone headset connector leading to circuit board with microphone on circuit board speaker leading off the connector. So simple it must just be a broken wire/loose connection... Question is : Where would the best place be to take something like this in ChCh? They're not made anymore - but I reckon all it needs is a electronics whizz to have a look at it, do some soldering etc. My goal is too get the electronics working again, integrate it into a really nice leather case I've got for the Tungsten. cheers Daryn -- == The PalmHeads http://www.planetnz.com/palmheads

Question is : Where would the best place be to take something like this in ChCh? They're not made anymore - but I reckon all it needs is a electronics whizz to have a look at it, do some soldering etc. I'll do this sort of soldering job for a negotiable price, if you're still interested.
