What a blast from the past, thinking about tinkering with electronics! I used to love taking things apart. Lately, I've been hooked on Heardle as a fun music challenge, mostly because it's so satisfying to test my song recognition skills from just that first little snippet. It brings back so many memories. Do you have any specific tools you swear by for delicate repairs like battery replacements?
