(I hate nokia phones. Their cameras. Especially when it comes to micro shots. Sucks to the core. Quite obvious which pics were taken using a nokia phone and which, a sony ericsson.)

It's been quite some time since I've tinkered with things. What. The last time I did, I destroyed my ipod headphones. Or was it the construction of battery USB charger so that I could charge in tekong?

Anyway.

Some repair work. The USB connector broke. Solder away.


Works.

And for everything that's repaired. Something must be destroyed.



Prying open with a test-pen.

Feels like I'm prying some mussel.

Sticky taped on the inside (to minimize/prevent movement probably)

Finally.

The hidden side seems taped as well.

So I decided to do a cross-sectional cut.





Side view.

These are resistors. But nokia camera sucks. So you can't see it properly.

Can't rip it out. Probably welded on.

So I cut them with my super cutter instead.




And now. The following pictures were taken using my old SE phone.

Tempted to 'open' up the cell compartment. I know that there are electrolytes and shit like that. But would they be wet? Probably not. Else there would be swishing sounds when you shake your phone. Damp? Dry? No idea. Tempted to cut open. Will it explode? No idea.

So I did. And it fucking stinks. Pungent acrid smell. I saw some white cotton-like material. Some flat metal surface which probably was copper.

No idea if it's poisonous. But I took a deep whiff already.

Well at least I tied it up before chucking it out.
