@MellyMel22 Oh definitely. It’s so much money to get those fixed. My arthritic hands dropped my iPad on my hardwood floor.

I smashed it good. I had AppleCare so it was only $49 but I could never fix the screen myself with my hands.

You have talent there!!!

@iamonfire696 [i][c=BF0080]Thanks.. I have carpal tunnel bad. I think that’s what made me lose feeling just before I burned myself that day. I’ve done a few iPad screens too. It is that difficult, you just need to be careful and remember what goes where. The tiny screws are annoying though. [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 I remember you mentioning that. Can you get a nerve conduction study done to find out for sure? I don’t want you to hurt yourself again 🥺.

I have the worst brain fog since covid. I made my kids Rice Krispie treats the other day which has 5 ingredients and I never have to use a recipe. Well I had too and I bet I looked at it 90 times 😬. I would take something apart and get so lost 🤣.

Do you still need help? I got a couple extra bucks atm.. Is there any way i can help? I promise. Id love to help. Im sorry i spent a few hours crying. During that i had an idea and thought id help... Idc about Money i got everything i need. Its people like you that mean the wordl to me. Its the least i can do. How does that sound? Can save you a couple bucks you know.

Child happy?
MellyMel22 · F
@vetguy1991 [i][c=BF0080]Well he is now, I had to factory reset it for some reason. Took awhile to get a hold of a computer. [/c][/i]
Tough call, both will ruin your day.
Good to see you were able to avoid an iced/leaky freezer, and kept the kids happy and motivated.

This is why I don't spend $900 on an iphone.
MellyMel22 · F
@MrSmooTh [i][c=BF0080]That one was given to us and 2 kids used it. [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 No phone is worth that much in my opinion. It better act as my secretary for that price.

Mel 👀 how often did I tell you to use the srewdriver and notyour smartphone when you fix things?? 😤
MellyMel22 · F
@scooogy [i][c=BF0080]My child did that all by himself 🤣[/c][/i]
scooogy · 31-35, MVIP
@MellyMel22 maybe you should fix your kid with the screwdriver 👀
No just tell him that you're going to get him the latest and greatest brand new phone after school that'll get them up
MellyMel22 · F
@NightsWatch [i][c=BF0080]You're buying![/c][/i]
@MellyMel22 but it means sooo much more coming from you.

Encase his phone in a block of ice, and thaw it when he gets straight A's.

🤪

Freezer first. Can`t have your non meat items spoiling. 🤭
MellyMel22 · F
@Degbeme [i][c=BF0080]Damn right! [/c][/i]
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@MellyMel22 All joking aside, that stuff is expensive.
MellyMel22 · F
@Degbeme [i][c=BF0080]Everything is now! [/c][/i]
Lostpoet · M
Can that be fixed?
MellyMel22 · F
@Lostpoet [i][c=BF0080]It’s just kinda tedious. I’ve replaced more iPhone screens than I can count. This phone specifically multiple times. It all depends on your patience and if you’re able to keep track of a bunch of tiny tiny screws. In order to change the screen you have to take apart the home button, cams, ear piece, metal plate and reconnect it all to the new screen. When I went to trade in a phone awhile ago, I was offered a job replacing them 🤣 I said hell no, I don’t like doing it that much. Just saving money doing my households if needed. [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 👍 nice
Namor69 · 41-45, M

MellyMel22 · F
@Namor69[i][c=BF0080]I always do! And it’s been done more times than I can count! [/c][/i]
Namor69 · 41-45, M
@MellyMel22 wow and they still managed to destroy the screen like that regardless - yikes!
MellyMel22 · F
@Namor69 [i][c=BF0080]Yep and apparently disabled it after 😡[/c][/i]

Freezer. Both me and my ex were always in agreement: Our child would be forbidden from having a smart phone until they turned 18. Flip phone or borrow from mom and dad to call friends while at home.

And yes, I do blame apps like Tiktok where kids are constantly doing deadly things and calling them "challenges." No regulation or moderation on social media apps.
AstroZombie · 36-40, M
@WhateverWorks I mean I used to run a YouTube channel but it wasn't family friendly. Dark humor, swearing, etc. Wanted to show that kids belong on YouTube kids and adults belong on regular YouTube. And have fun at the same time, of course.

As long as the kids can't find their way around the parental controls it's good.
WhateverWorks · 36-40
Yeah, they were never receptive to kids tube because it didn’t have all the videos etc. that the other kids are watching. Can’t speak for other brands, but I like the parental controls for the iPhones because they’re all managed from my phone as supreme overlord lol, not a background setting on their phone they can fiddle with @AstroZombie
AstroZombie · 36-40, M
@WhateverWorks Normally I've had issues with Apple computers giving me issues but in this case ALL HAIL THE iPHONE xD
