This is a ThinkPad T23 maximally dis-assembled to complete an inverter replacement. The inverter is the pencil shaped part below the laptop. It goes in the bottom of the LCD screen.

The symptom that it needed replaced was that it took a long time for the screen to 'warm up' and come to full brightness. And after a suspend, the screen had difficulty fully restoring, and might flicker until a cold-reboot happened.

I found a new inverter on E-bay for about a $12. To complete the repair, I used the following:

1. The official maintenance manual. (I displayed this on a second computer, rather than printing out the 180 page document!)

2. A Kronus tool, which supports many different tiny laptop screw tips. Stripping one of these tiny specialty screws could create a sizable new problem! The Kronus tool had a tip for all the different screws I found (Mostly just a few different sizes of Phillips head).

The success of the project definitely depended on "screw management". There were about 10 other things that needed to be removed to get to the inverter, and almost everything needed one or more screws removed.

As I removed each part, I set the screws for it on the back of a old business card, which I labeled with the part name. In that way, I was able to complete the re-assembly process fairly efficiently, since I knew which screw to use.

There are a couple things to realize about such a repair. First, the instructions include removing the backup battery, so things like the system date and time need to be reset. Second, some screws are hidden under stickers that blend in with the case. The stickers are just for cosmetics, and there definitely a chance they won't re-stick after the repair. Most of mine didn't.

Now let's hope the fix "sticks".

This converts the DC electricty from the panels in to 230V AC at 50Hz, and feeds back on to the grid (grid-connected PV).

Inverted to possitive some old negatives found from my great aunt when she passed. No idea who is in the pictures.

So what do u think?

There's no way she could look like that if she were the other end up. By the way, she'd be a grand. :-)

THERE'S SINGING in the eastern courtyard

silence wakes the men

silence cut by shadow.

We are proud to be

buttfuckers.

Silence again, we must stay awake

the executioner will ignore the festivity

when the sky takes your head

An artpiece by artist Andrew Small entitled C marks the end of both the C2C and the W2W cycle route. Designed as a large granite monolith, the work frames Roker Lighthouse, firmly placing the scuplture in it's Sunderland location. The mirror polished finish reflects the nearby surroundings and has star constellations etched into the surface. The work was inspired by ideas that related to Bede, Europe's greatest 8th Century scholar, who calculated the motion of the Sun and the Moon to set the date of Easter which is the method that is still in place today.

Bede was born in either 672 or 673AD around Wearmouth, now known as Monkwearmouth, in Sunderland. Bede was the greatest scholar of his day. He wrote scientific, historical and theological works.His most famous work, Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum or The Ecclesiastical History of the English People was completed in 731 AD. This is now regarded by modern scholars as the authoritative account of Christianity in England from its inception to Bede's own time.This reference in the sculpture to Bede also helps to link the artwork to the local area.

The F-22 Raptor is the fastest and most maneuverable fighter jet in the world today. The F-22's twin engines produce more thrust than any other fighter. Combined with its sleek aerodynamic design, this allows the F-22 to “Supercruise” at 1.5 times the speed of sound without using fuel consuming afterburner.

Near the old Dominion Foundry there are a bunch of warehouses slated for demolition. Part of the new West Don Lands development site. Im a bit sad to see this old warehouse come down but a quick peek inside revealed nothing that exciting. One of the strange things about this place is a door that was once the entrance to a business. The doors message is Inverted. It says..

Update: 2012 - This building is now demolished

Just got this idea and decided to try it...

I tesselated this idea that I had yesterday. it's basically ilan garibi's cube tesselation but some of those cubes are inverted. this makes the collapse of the model considerably harder because you'd want the sides of the inverted cubes to stand up first. on the other hand was very friendly and a pleasure to work with.

you can also look at the back of this tesselation or detailed views of the front or the back.

Some out-take shots on an inverted hex twist.

Didn't care too much for the way they came out, and I did a better one later, but ended up cutting the whole bit anyhow.

The idea for this artwork came to my mind while sitting on the balcony early in the morning. I am looking forward to shot more photos like this because I like the effect of the inverted so much.

This showed up in front of my lense in Leuna, Germany.

The invertor is a modular design. If one component fails in service another can be quickly slotted in to take its place

This is illustrating an inverted pendulum to a child who was quite intrigued. It was part of the Ann Arbor Hands-on Museum exhibit (http://www.aahom.org/).
