Repairing Sony Ericsson K750 joystick

The K750 was the first phone I've repaired. After a little while the joystick became almost useless, to the point that it didn't work at all.

The main weakness of the K750 is the joystick, which is unprotected from outside dust or dirtyness, so I had to dismantle the cell and applied some contact cleaner spray to the base of the joystick, I've applied it a few times and then moved the joystick.

Then when then reassembled phone and tested the joystick it worked perfectly!

Repair Dolce Gusto Circolo Leaking Problem

Image
My Dolce Gusto coffee machine started leaking without even plugin in to the socket. Water was leaking at the base, the tank would get completely empty in a few seconds, so I dismounted the back cover to see. Use a Torx tool.  Fisrt start removing the two screws down besides the reservoir connector. Down there you see the join inside the water connector. That small rubber joint was apparently in a good shape but the problem really came from it. I took the small water filter and descaled it by diping it in white vinegar for a few minutes. Then I took a rubber tap joint from my tool box and put it on top of the rubber joint as you see it in the circle. Then I mounted all back again and it works! The joint was just too used, and you can replace it with a tap rubber joint, just find the right size. Descale the coffe machine This is always a good thing to do every two or three months to keep the inside clean. I descaled completely by filling the water tank with a mixture

How to Change the Gear Shift Knob of the Peugeot 306

Image
Well, last week the gear shift knob of my car got teared down in my hand as I was driving as you can see it in the picture. It was so really broken that the official knob from Peugeot would not fit anymore. The good thing about it is that now I can replace it by a nice one. But it was a real pain to figure out how to dismount it, the main thing is to lift up the leather bag around it first, from the bottom and then turn the knob twice to the left and then pull from it till it comes off . As you can see the white base support was broken too, so I had to dismount the whole thing and look for an universal knob to replace it. Well here is the gear shift itself all alone, I had to stick around it a piece of plastic and then tighten it up with a wire (I did this with my pliers to hold it tight), so that the leather bag will not move down later. Here is the new knob, it has a nice fairy on it, well, I know you are smiling :) but it was the only one in the store one that fitted
