A warranty is an assurance from the manufacturer that their merchandise will be free of defects and poor workmanship. Its purpose is to protect you, the purchaser, from receiving an item that contains a manufacturing flaw. Most warranties are issued by the manufacturer, and all claims and transactions will go through their warranty department.
WebstaurantStore may offer an extended warranty on select items. This warranty can be selected at the time of purchase and goes into effect after the manufacturer's warranty has elapsed. The issuer of the warranty, whether it's WebstaurantStore or the manufacturer, will be clearly stated on the warranty document.
Each issuer sets the guidelines for their own warranties, including what is covered and the specified time frame that the coverage is offered. Some warranties last for 5 years, while some last only for 30 days. It's important to read and understand the warranty document included with your purchase so you are aware of the details and limitations associated with the merchandise.
Warranties will usually be included on the last page of your user manual. If you misplace your user manual or warranty, you can find a replacement on the WebstaurantStore website. While viewing the product page of the item you purchased, look for the Resources and Downloads section on the right side of the screen. From here, you can download a PDF of the manual or warranty.
When discussing warranties, it's important to understand the difference between defects in manufacturing and damages that happen after the item has been manufactured. Warranties are designed to cover poor workmanship. They do not cover damages that occur after the item has left the warehouse, either from improper handling during shipping or misuse by the purchaser.
Damages that happen during shipping are also not covered under warranty. This would include dents, scratches, or breaks that are incurred from dropping the item or improper handling. Instead of making a warranty claim, shipping damages should be pursued through our Customer Solutions team. If your item shipped by common carrier, make sure to note the damages on the delivery receipt.
There are three common types of warranties that you will see on restaurant equipment. The type of warranty and the length of time it's valid will be clearly stated on the warranty document. Some warranties begin on the date of purchase, the date of receipt, or the date of installation.
A parts and labor warranty will cover the cost of a technician and the cost of the replacement parts required to repair the equipment. It's important to work with the manufacturer to arrange for an authorized technician because repairs performed by anyone else could void your warranty completely.
With a replacement warranty, the manufacturer will send a replacement item instead of paying for repairs. After you receive a replacement, the warranty does not renew but keeps the same expiration date of your original purchase.
These types of warranties usually cover one component. Refrigeration equipment will often have a compressor warranty that is only good for replacing the compressor.
It's a good practice to file away all of your warranties along with the item's receipt so that you know when the item was purchased. The receipt can also serve as proof of your purchase if it's required. If you need to make a claim, the contact info is usually located at the top or bottom of the document. If there is no phone number listed, contact the store where you made the purchase.
This process helps the manufacturer to determine the cause of the failure. If it's determined that a defect does exist, your warranty claim will be accepted and arrangements will be made for a replacement or repairs. Though it may seem like a lot of leg work up front, you will benefit in the long run by receiving brand new equipment or free repair service.
If you live in a remote location and there are no authorized technicians in the area, you may not be eligible for warranty repairs.
Warranties may only cover a specific distance, and any locations outside of that distance may be responsible for the technician's travel expenses.
Technicians are not insured to make repairs in residential locations, so residential purchases are not covered by warranty.
Some manufacturers are not set up to provide warranty coverage for purchases outside of the US or contiguous US.
Wear-and-tear parts like gaskets or light bulbs that are frequently replaced are not covered under warranty.
You may need to wait for an authorized technician to become available.
Warranties are like a back-up plan if a piece of equipment fails. They are meant to protect you while also allowing manufacturers to uncover flaws or defects in the manufacturing process. It's not always convenient to make a warranty claim, especially in a busy restaurant environment, but the outcome will be a great benefit to you if your equipment is truly defective.

Want more? Listen to our discussion of 'Mary Magdalene' on SWITCHCast
A TEDIOUS REFRAMING OF AN IMPORTANT FEMALE RELIGIOUS ICON
By Daniel Lammin
Many issues present themselves whenever an attempt is made to adapt the story of Jesus Christ. There's no question that it's a damn good story - thrilling in structure, tension, thematic resonance and characterisation - but it's not only one that's been told in endless incarnations but one that means a great deal to many millions of people. To attempt it in any way is a huge task, but the premise behind 'Mary Magdalene', the highly-anticipated second feature from Australian director Garth Davies ('Lion') is to refocus the story from the perspective of one of the few female figures in the story, and one of the most misunderstood biblical figures. Can the film live up to that ambition, or does it buckle under its own convictions?
Working from re-evaluated ancient biblical texts, screenwriters Helen Edmundson and Philippa Goslett recreate the story of Mary (Rooney Mara, 'Carol', 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'), the only known female disciple of Jesus (Joaquin Phoenix, 'The Master', 'Inherent Vice'). A young woman desperate for independence in a male-dominated society, Mary seeks understanding in Christ's teachings, inevitably coming into conflict with his more revolutionary disciples who are determined to free themselves from oppressive Roman rule.
'MARY MAGDALENE' TRAILER
The male-led church has for centuries portrayed Mary as a prostitute, a lowly woman brought out of the gutter by Christ, even though all early writings described her as nothing of the sort. 'Mary Magdalene' is an attempt to rectify this, and there's no question that its heart is in the right place. The problem though is that a simple shift in perspective doesn't justify this retelling - you feel it should be radical and surprising, but the only surprise is how uninspiring and perfunctory it feels. Edmundson and Goslett's screenplay is almost entirely exposition, a cliché-riddled humourless piece of writing that initially attempts fresh characterisation but quickly falls into familiar patterns. It gives neither Davies nor the cast much to work with, but the freshness that made 'Lion' so special is lacking here in Davies' direction. The film meanders aimlessly for much of its two hours, beginning with striking visual metaphor before simply following Jesus and his disciples wandering through the desert, not taking advantage of any of the storytelling tools at Davies' disposal. There are moments of potential power, such as the arrival of Jerusalem, but they come too late to make up for how scattered and dull the rest of the film is. Grieg Fraser's cinematography is as gorgeous as you would expect from him and Fiona Crombie's production design is beautifully textured, but the spine they're working with is too flimsy for anything to stick. Thematic ambitions are never reached and no creative ambitions are ever attempted. At least it does offer us one of our last chances to hear the work of late composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, here collaborating with Hildur Guðnadóttir.
The real issue at the heart of 'Mary Magdalene' is that Mary herself is never given the chance to truly take over as the driving protagonist. Her struggle to push against the patriarchal boundaries that hold her in within her family and the Jewish community are affecting in the first act, but once Jesus enters the story, his presence is so immense that the film has no choice but to shift focus to him for almost the rest of the film at the expense of Mary's story. For the most part, what we get are endless shots of Mary sitting next to him and listening to his ramblings (and his iconic words become nothing but ramblings with this screenplay and Phoenix's performance). Some attempt is made in the final moments to bring the focus back to Mary as a major historical figure, but again, this comes far too late, and the impact barely registers. Telling the story of Christ from a female perspective and reframing this important woman sound like all the right reasons to make a film, but it's not enough to just make those changes. You have to work for them, cultivate them, weave them into something special and new, and this film barely makes an impression.
The real issue at the heart of 'Mary Magdalene' though is that Mary herself is never given the chance to truly take over as the driving protagonist.
As a consequence, the performances suffer. We should be celebrating Rooney Mara finally having another lead role, and she certainly makes the most of what she's given. The problem is, it isn't much, requiring her to switch between inner turmoil and doe-eyed devotion with little in between. She's easily the standout, but that's only because she gives the film its barely-perceptible pulse. As Jesus, Joaquin Phoenix engages all his worst tendencies as an actor, delivering a self-obsessed, barely audible performance that gives us less a powerful radical revolutionary than a whiny emo whelp on the verge of either falling asleep or crying. He gives nothing to anyone working around him, especially Mara, and lacks the charisma and generosity necessary. Chiwetel Ejiofor is fine as Peter, but the script can never decide who Peter is, making it hard for us to understand his motivations, and while Tahar Rahim gives a genuinely refreshing and often moving interpretation of Judas, again the script just doesn't give him enough to really land it.
As an attempt to course-correct our understanding of the importance of Mary Magdalene, this film might have the best intentions, but fails to achieve them. As a follow-up from the team that made 'Lion', it's definitely a disappointment, more akin to that film's rambling second act than its virtuosic first. In the end, what should have been a powerful film about an important woman in the founding of Christianity becomes just a film about an independent young woman who gives up her life to help some moody white guy achieve his ambitions. There's so much to be found in Mary's story, but this tedious and humourless film doesn't dig anywhere deep enough.

Hold My Hand ist ein Lied von Lady Gaga und Teil des Soundtracks zu dem Actionfilm Top Gun: Maverick mit Tom Cruise in der Hauptrolle. Der Song war bei den 95. Academy Awards in der Kategorie "Bester Song" für einen Oscar nominiert.

Liedtext

Das Lied handelt davon, dass man niemals allein ist. Egal was einem auch geschehe. Immer gebe es Hoffnung. Wichtig sei jedoch, dass einer dem anderen die Hand reiche und diese nicht loslasse. Denn es sei eine Tatsache, dass jeder Mensch Schmerz erlebe. Wir sollten diesen aber nicht verstecken, sondern ruhig offen zeigen. Nur so könne unser Gegenüber auf unser Leid eingehen und uns helfend zur Seite stehen.

Lady Gaga äußerte über ihren Song und die Bedeutung, die in dem Text stecke, dass es ihr Ziel gewesen sei, einen Song zu machen, der das tiefe Bedürfnis eines Menschen ausdrücke, verstanden zu werden und andere zu verstehen. Sie habe musikalisch "die Sehnsucht nach Nähe", in einer Welt, in der "wir uns so weit voneinander entfernt fühlen", ausdrücken wollen.

Das Lied wurde ursprünglich in der Tonart G-Dur veröffentlicht und beginnt mit G/D/C/G/D-Akkordfolgen mit drei Intro-Takten, bevor der Text einsetzt: "Hold my hand, everything will be okay. I heard from the heavens that clouds have been gray. Pull me close, wrap me in your aching arms" (frei übersetzt: "Halte meine Hand, alles wird gut. Ich sah, dass die Wolken am Himmel grau geworden waren. Zieh mich an dich, umhülle meinen Schmerz mit deinen mich umschlingenden Armen").

Hintergrund
Das Lied entstand Jahre vor der Verwendung in Top Gun: Maverick. Gaga selbst meinte, das gewisse Etwas habe bei dem Lied stets gefehlt. Tom Cruise war der Meinung, das Lied sei das fehlende Puzzleteil des Films und zeigte sich davon überzeugt, dass sein Film erst reif fürs Kino geworden sei, als man Lady Gaga mit ins Boot geholt habe, die ihren Song Hold My Hand für den Film zur Verfügung gestellt habe. Die Partitur sei zum Herzschlag des Films geworden. Es sei besorgt gewesen, bis er diesen Song gehört habe. Ihm sei sofort bewusst gewesen, dass dieses Lied die Kraft habe, die Geschichte des Films emotional aufzubereiten. Im Film läuft Hold My Hand während einer Barszene, in der die von Jennifer Connelly gespielte Penny und ihre Tochter sich unterhalten. Später wird der vollständige Song gegen Ende des Films mit Penny und Maverick (Tom Cruise) gespielt, als beide in seiner P-51 Mustang in den Sonnenuntergang davonfliegen.

Musikvideo
Das begleitende Musikvideo wurde von Joseph Kosinski, dem Regisseur von Top Gun: Maverick, inszeniert und am 6. Mai 2022 veröffentlicht. Es zeigt Lady Gaga, die das Lied an wechselnden Orten singt, und wird durchzogen von Szenen aus beiden Top-Gun-Filmen. Lady Gaga trägt die originale Fliegerbomberjacke, die Cruise als Maverick im originalen Top Gun-Film trug. Auf dem Höhepunkt des Songs tauscht Lady Gaga das Tanktop unter der Jacke gegen ein durchsichtiges Kleid aus, das im Wind zu explodieren scheint. Das Kleid stammt von der ukrainischen Designerin Lessa Verlingieri, das sie für ihre Marke Lever Couture entworfen hat. Gegenüber dem Paper Magazine enthüllte Verlingieri, die seit 2011 mit Gaga zusammenarbeitet, dass das Kleid aus 200 Yards Stoff gefertigt worden sei und sie sich von einem Fallschirm sowie anderer Performance-Kleidung Inspirationen geholt habe, Kleidung, die üblicherweise von Piloten getragen werde. Sie habe gewollt, dass Lady Gaga so aussehe, als hätte sie sich seit langer Zeit in der Wüste verlaufen, wobei das Kleid Unabhängigkeit, Tapferkeit und Überleben habe repräsentieren sollen.

Rezensionen
Die Resonanz auf das Lied war gemischt bis positiv. So meinten Kritiker, erkannt zu haben, dass die Inspiration für den Song von den Power-Balladen der 1980er Jahre herrühre, dem Jahrzehnt, in dem der Originalfilm Top Gun – Sie fürchten weder Tod noch Teufel (1986) veröffentlicht worden war. In der Variety hieß es, Hold My Hand sei eine in die Höhe schnellende Rockmelodie mit Geigen und Gitarrenlicks, die auf die Power-Balladen der 80er Jahre zurückgehe. Laut Lars Brandle von Billboard erinnere der Song sehr eng an Berlins Take My Breath Away und an Kenny Loggins Danger Zone. Andere Musikkritiker verglichen das Lied mit Songs wie Open Arms von Journey, Alone von Heart und Lady Gagas eigener Single The Edge of Glory.

Der Musikkritiker Robin Murray von Clash nannte das Lied einen Triumph des Bombasts. Für Jazz Tangcay von Variety stellte sich der Song als eingängiger Ohrwurm mit einem starken Gitarrensolo dar, der auf dem besten Weg sei, ein Oscar-Spitzenreiter im Song-Rennen zu sein. Ähnlich sah das auch Nancy Tartaglione von Deadline Hollywood, die meinte, der Siegeszug des Songs könne bis zu den Oscars gehen. Das New York Magazine schrieb, das Lied fühle sich an wie der aufrichtige Versuch, die inspirierendste Abspannballade aller Zeiten zu sein. Für Gemma Samways vom Evening Standard handelt es sich um eine sentimentale Ballade, so brillant übertrieben, dass man sich einfach nicht vorstellen könne, dass es irgendein anderer großer Popkünstler schaffe, diese zu übertrumpfen. Auch Stuart Heritage von The Guardian fand das Lied bombastisch und emotional, es enthalte alles, was man sich von einer Power-Ballade von Lady Gaga nur wünschen könne.

Allerdings gibt es auch andere Meinungen, so schrieb Michael Cragg, ebenfalls beim Guardian, dass Hold My Hand zwar leicht überwältigend, aber doch aufgebläht und schlaff sei. Auch für Melissa Ruggieri handelt es sich nur um eine mittelmäßige Ballade. Während Nick Levine von NME von einem lauen Lied sprach, stellte Carly May Gravley vom Dallas Observer fest, es sei eine unvergessliche Single. Der Song diente zudem als Zugabe für Lady Gagas Stadiontournee 2022 The Chromatica Ball.

Nadine Coyle: Girls Aloud still argue, things still kick off

Cheryl Cole and the rest of Girls Aloud may have made up with Nadine Coyle but there's still tension at times
Nadine Coyle famously fell out with the rest of Girls Aloud, although thankfully they kissed and made up and have reunited for their 10th anniversary, but she's revealed they still argue.
Nadine told Gaydar radio: 'Sometimes it can all kick off. Then someone might back the other one up and be like "No, she's right because of this!" And then it all starts.'
And it's not just Cheryl Cole who isn't afraid to bite back with Nadine adding: 'Everybody has their own feisty version.'
LISTEN TO GIRLS ALOUD'S NEW SINGLE
Despite this revelation, Nadine was quick to play things down, and focused on the complexities of working so intensively with creative women:
'You start off with something simple and then the next minute you'll be delving into something that may draw a tear. It's just that closeness that you have and it's good to have that support.'
The singer also side-stepped further questions about the relationships between the girls and appeared chuffed to be back in the band.
She said: 'Everybody has [grown up]. We've been very fortunate. I just think it's very good that everyone is in a good frame of mind to come back and do all the stuff again.'
CHERYL COLE LEADS GIRLS ALOUD RADIO 1 TAKEOVER
And by the sound of the two new songs of their upcoming album, Ten, it's great to have them back.

As part of efforts towards recovery and restoration from the Great East Japan Earthquake and "Environmental Creation", the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) has arranged the various research topics currently being implemented at NIES as "Research on Disaster Environment" into the "Panorama of Research on Disaster Environment". This panorama, as well as a summary of these various undertakings, can now be viewed in the below document "An Overview of Research on Disaster Environment, Towards Recovery and Restoration from Disasters and Environmental Creation".
NIES has now updated and summarized outcomes associated with "Research on Disaster Environment" to reflect activities undertaken in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, which are now available below as "An Overview of Research on Disaster Environment and associated Outcomes following the Great East Japan Earthquake, National Institute for Environmental Studies".


Finding a good dentist can be tough. Finding a great cosmetic dentist; even tougher. Here's why: Cosmetic dentistry is not a legally recognized dental specialty. This means that there is no restriction on a dentist saying that he or she is a cosmetic dentist. Listed below are some of the fundamental differences between a general dentist and a cosmetic dentist.
1. A cosmetic dentist is passionate about the appearance of their work and getting it to look as natural and beautiful as possible.
2. Cosmetic dentists are sensitive to the patients perception of the work. General dentists are trained in dental school that they are the best judge of what would be best for the patient.
3. General dentists are trained to fix things while a cosmetic dentist is trained to create things. General dentists tend to carry the mindset of a technician, focusing solely on detail and function. Cosmetic dentists must also carry a great attention to detail, but must also have a creative eye and attention to aesthetics.
4. Cosmetic dentists must commit themselves to extensive post doc. training and education to acquire the skill set needed to craft beautiful and natural looking smiles.
5. A cosmetic dentist understands the concept of smile design. Smile design is the art of matching the elements of beauty in a face with the shapes and alignment of the teeth.
These are just a few examples of the many differences between a cosmetic dentist and a general dentist. As a patient it's important to do your homework when searching for a cosmetic dentist. Keeping the above information in mind and making sure you have a good rapport with your dentist will ensure successful smile makeover results.

Circuits, Necromancy, and Solder: Board Repair School, Part 1
Article by: Kevin Purdy @kpifixit
Filed under: Tech News
There is a moment, during a tricky fix or DIY project going even halfway right, when you feel like you can see more of the world. You can see how things fit together, how a system works, at a level most people don't know. It's empowering and it puts a smile on your face. Maybe it will even save you money someday.
I had one of those rare moments one day last month, staring through a microscope at a microchip smaller than a flake of sea salt. Heating it with 385ºC air from the nozzle in my left hand, the chip suddenly shifted, settling onto 64 microscopic balls of just-melted solder. I lifted the point of the tweezers in my other hand off the surface. With that, I had replaced the chip that regulates charging on an iPhone 6. A couple minutes later, I hooked the newly repaired board up to a screen, battery, and charging port. It worked.
A Tristar Tester confirming a successful charging chip replacement.
Replacing the Tristar chip on an iPhone board wasn't the hardest thing I did at Jessa Jones' week-long microsoldering and board repair class. But fixing that iPhone board made it all click—this was not something only gigantic companies can do. I was doing it.
This was not something only gigantic companies can do. I was doing it.
The logic board inside a smartphone (or tablet, or laptop, or any gadget) is a grid of flowing electrical channels. When the electricity can't go where it needs to, you can find out where it's blocked, and make it flow again. We can fix these things—even I can fix these things, a writer whose last real electrical training was the Science Olympiad in 7th grade. Not every phone can be fixed, nor is the effort or time worth it to everyone. But a lot more of these things could be fixed than we're fixing now.
What follows is part one of a three-part diary of my week at "board school." It won't be strictly chronological, because there's both repetition and backtracking in learning. This post will detail the major lessons I learned about how phones fail on an internal level, and how to diagnose them. Next week I'll dive into the work of repairing all those faults, and after that, the business and politics of microsoldering and board repair.
Think Like a Physician, Not an Engineer
iPhone board with a chip removed, and a fingernail for scale. Each one of those bits with silver on its sides is a component that could fail—and be fixed.
There are almost certainly more circuit boards inside iPad Rehab then there are people in the town where it operates. Honeoye Falls is a 20-minute drive from Rochester in upstate New York. The village has 2,800 residents, five main roads, and one Walgreens. It's a drab, gray, one-and-a-half hour drive on the Thruway for me from Buffalo, through the leafless trees of early February.
Most of the other eight people in this week's course have flown in—from Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina—save one from Rochester. Three of them already do "parts-level" work, replacing screens, batteries, and the like, and want to offer deeper repairs and data recovery. Three others are from the military, where they recover evidence from phones involved in criminal cases. The other two students don't plan to microsolder full-time, but might make it a side gig. And then there's me, the writer who, after hearing about the others' experience, is wondering if he's finally signed himself up for a story that proves he's in way over his head.
We were asked to bring along broken devices. Most brought phones that seem to not boot up at all. Some had phones that booted but didn't show an image, respond to touch, have audio—known as "boots but" cases in the shop. Me, I had a friend's Pixel 2 whose display I seemingly killed during a battery swap, and a 2012 MacBook Air that intermittently beeps three times instead of booting.
We'll probably save most, if not all, of these devices, Jessa tells us. We're going to train ourselves to think like physicians instead of engineers. Engineer brains run the same tests on everything, testing and comparing each circuit on the board. Physician brains gather as much relevant history as possible, spot and separate symptoms, and know the most likely diseases and rare exceptions. Most of all, a physician intrudes only as much as is needed to get the patient back up again.
Jessa Jones, filming an introduction to microsoldering at iFixit's offices in 2015
Jessa Jones is a well-known figure in board repair and data recovery circles. If she or her iPad Rehab staff can't get a phone to boot again, they don't make money. Unless the board is physically snapped or gouged, or the CPU or storage have serious damage, she can probably get a device to the passcode screen. Some devices are so damaged they might not be reliable for everyday use again, but the number of people who can get back their baby photos, business documents, or text messages from departed loved ones is much higher than you think.
There is, however, one unfixable problem: iCloud activation lock. Our class will bring a completely dead iPhone SE back after a drop in the lake, and jump-start an iPad Mini using two power supplies. But iCloud activation lock is an unbreakable curse if you don't know the prior owner, and nothing in Jessa's bag of a thousand tricks can bypass it. Realizing that is a weird moment of sobriety in a week full of defying expectations.
A student at iPad Rehab hooking up "known good" parts to an iPhone board to eliminate parts damage as a potential cause.
We start our training with Rule One of board repair: no device has a board problem until you've proven that all the other parts are working. Shops keep "known good" parts around for every phone they can. Before you yank the board out or heat up the soldering iron, you hook up a good screen, charging port, and battery, then see what works. Jessa handed each of us a loose iPhone 6 logic board to test this way. Watching the most expensive part of an iPhone shaken around in a plastic bin or dropped onto tables, seeing students pop screens and batteries on and off with their fingers—I'm convinced my face betrays my careful, step-by-step iFixit credentials.
I get over my precious view of silicon by day two, aided by a teachable moment. I asked Jessa, holding a loose board in her hand while monitoring its voltage intake, if we should ever be concerned about, you know, shocks, or accidentally shorting something, or oils on your hands.
Jessa spun her chair around and lifted the still-connected board to eye level. "See this charge port?" She licked it. "It's only a few volts, Kevin. Do you wear shoes with soles? Do you stand in a tub of water while you're working? It's fine."
Jessa will spend a good portion of the week disabusing me of various notions I've picked up in my career writing about technology. She didn't tread lightly on anyone's ego, and quickly honed in on the issues each of us brought to class from our lives or careers. Case in point: only two days into class, she diagnosed most of my soldering and diagnosis issues as "a moderate to severe case of Overthinking-It-itis." It was one of the most strangely kind and encouraging ways I've ever been completely owned.1
"See this charge port?" She licked it. "It's only a few volts, Kevin."
View from the author's chair as Jessa Jones examines a water-damaged board under a microscope.
The hands-on portion of our repair journey begins with learning how to read a board with our eyes. Peer closely and you'll see wires, ports and their pins, pathways that connect to the board's metal (ground), and "vias," sub-surface wires that connect to the pads underneath each chip. Most importantly, we learn about the different kinds of solder: the lead-free kind factories use, the standard lead/tin most people use, and the high-end bismuth/tin stuff.
This introduces one of many paradoxes in responsible electronics. Manufacturers largely dropped lead solder in the mid-2000s. At the scale they produce devices, going lead-free makes a big difference for the earth. Lead-free solder, however, is more brittle. Using consumer-grade lead/tin solder actually improves the strength of the connections on a board. And you're using very, very little of it; Jessa has been working from the same used spool she bought on eBay her whole career. "Companies make their environmental impact by going lead-free. We'll make ours by making devices last as long as possible," she told us.
Boards and wires and solder are the precursors to learning about the working bits of the board they connect. On day two, we learn about capacitors, resistors, transistors, filters, chokes, diodes, buck and boost converters, mosfets, and coils. Using a multimeter, mostly in diode mode, with the red probe on ground, you poke at components and look for three key failure readings:
Open (or "broken open," as Jessa prefers), when a component fails and leaves the circuit incomplete. The multimeter reads "OL" ("open loop" or "overload"). The circuit has no continuity, and has nearly infinite resistance to the ground.
Short, an unintended connection, usually to ground. The multimeter reads "0.0," because there is no resistance between the probe on ground and what you're poking—it's already going to ground.
A resistance reading hugely different from the typical resistance readings on your schematic or crowdsourced diagrams (more on those in just a bit).
Testing an iPhone's display port connectors with a multimeter (and a port-testing connection tool just out of frame)
It's a lot to absorb, but there is good news: that's basically all the required reading for Microsoldering 101. The reason your phone dies when you drop it, bend it, dunk it in water, or charge it with unstable power is because one of those board components is short, open, disconnected, or damaged in some weird way.

How do you know which component died on a seemingly dead phone, when there are hundreds and hundreds of the little buggers? If you're experienced, you might have a good guess before the screen comes off.
Certain thin filters tend to burn out when a lazy technician connects a screen with the battery still plugged in. Water tends to invade phones in familiar places, like near the SIM card slot on the "water resistant" iPhone X. The iPhone 6 and 7 bend more than others, causing tiny solder ball connections beneath chips to crack or come loose, leading to "Touch disease" on the iPhone 6/Plus and frequent audio IC issues with the iPhone 7/Plus. Any time there have been prior repair attempts or parts swaps, by a tech or DIY, you check for "long screw damage." At a board repair shop, these esoteric issues are as common as a scratchy throat at an emergency care clinic.
What happens if you don't recognize the problem from the symptoms? You run some tests and examine the board. One easy test is plugging a cable attached to a USB ammeter into the phone and watch as it boots up. Just from watching the amperage ascend, loop, or get stuck at an unusually low level, you can tell a lot about the phone's state: booting, stuck in DFU mode, "brain dead" from CPU or storage damage, and so on.
Now that you know the phone's general condition, it's time to pull out the board and look for the problem. There are three main tests:
Visual: Look at the board under a microscope. Which parts are corroded, burned, have cracked or dull solder? Or, you know, missing?
Heat: Give the board power for a moment, and see which components become exceptionally hot much faster than their surroundings.
Brute force: Test every component through every related circuit, physically removing them as you go, if needed.
You might be asking, "How can you see which components get hot?" Thank you for asking, because the answer is awesome. Using a phone-mounted thermal camera, you can see a white-hot component stand out on a board that is still just-booted blue. A cheaper approach is to hit it with freeze spray and then watch which short/hot component visibly melts its coating before everything around it. Cheaper still, but probably inadvisable: hold the board against your face, like Jessa would sometimes do when she was first starting out.
Using a thermal imaging camera to spot the hot short-circuited on a phone board.
By this point, you might know which bit on the board is acting up, but not what that bit does, or what else is on the same circuit. Not even Jessa knows every capacitor from memory. This is when you turn to giant PDFs you're not supposed to have, and some sketchy Chinese software.
Schematics and Software that Fell Off a Truck
Schematics are a diagram of every component on the board and the electrical lines running between them. Good schematics are PDF files that are fully text-searchable, so you can follow, say, a USB_VBUS_DETECT line you think is acting up from the battery to the USB controller chip, with a stop at a resistor along the way. It sounds complicated, but the work is mostly Control/Command+F searches and interpreting naming schemes.
Some companies, like Samsung, will sell you schematics. Apple does not sell or offer schematics outside its production chain. But people find them, and repair shops that do board repair rely on them. If a Right to Repair bill became law, companies would have to share schematics with repair shops trying to fix their devices. For now, they're a murky area all repair techs must muddle through.
Part of a backlight driver diagram inside an iPhone schematic. You can see a BGA-style chip named U1502, the voltage on a line leading to it (PP1V8 = 1.8 volts), and lines running to "AP," the application processor, or CPU. Other components in the circuit include a coil (the rounded hills at L1503), a diode (right-facing triangle above the chip), and capacitors (two parallel lines, shortly above an inverted triangle of ground).
Schematics can answer your questions about what each little bit is, what it does, its normal resistance and voltage, and more. But actually working with a giant PDF schematic by itself can be frustrating. You have to flip between multiple pages to follow a single circuit, and the naming schemes are not optimized for a layperson's comprehension.
That's where board view software comes in. Board view apps are a convenient organizing layer built on top of schematics. They make finding a component and tracing the circuit it's on more like playing SimCity than finding a drain in a sewer diagram. From an overhead view of the board, you can click or name search for the component where you suspect problems, and everything else connected to that component gets highlighted.
Jessa, like most board techs, uses ZXWTEAM, a.k.a. Zillion x Work. The name is an earnest pitch that your repair shop will have a zillion times more work if you use it. The app is not user-friendly and triggers anti-virus warnings on many computers. The authentication servers are in China and it's hard to buy in the U.S. (though Jessa sells licenses). We don't sell it on iFixit because our lawyer told us not to. But it's essential for anyone doing board repair.

What We're Really Learning
Unlike most college courses, Jessa's board repair school made it clear why you had to learn the theory and science behind board repair before you start dragging a hot iron across the board. Practically, it saves you time in figuring out what the problem part is, and keeps you from doing unnecessary work. But it also reconfigured my understanding of what a "broken" device means. The majority of consumer gadgets that stop working are almost never entirely "broke." Their electricity isn't flowing, and something needs replacing, removing, or reconnecting to make it flow again.
That might not sound revelatory to anyone who's spent a lot of time researching the devices they use to send emoji and check the weather. But it's been a momentous journey for me. Since smartphones and tablets arrived in my life, my relationship with them has gone through a Galaxy-Brain-style evolution:
"This phone's battery is dead, time to get a new one"
"Maybe a shop can replace the screen or battery"
"Actually, I can replace the screen or battery"
"Okay, but this phone suddenly stopped booting, so now I need a new one"
The next and final stage, well, that's what this class was: you can fix the brains of a phone, too. Because the brains are just tiny wires. If you have the equipment to look at tiny things, you can make the tiny changes necessary. You also have to care enough to do so.
One of the cases a student brought in was iPhone 6 that had been through hell. The backlight was dead, neither speaker worked, the Audio IC chip seemed to have failed, and some other chip was just gone. The phone had already been to Apple and back, and two other repair techs had tried their hands at it. But Jessa discovered what every previous tech had missed: a resistor, right by the CPU, that was faulty.
Resistors are tough and rarely fail, but when they do, they leave a line open. Pulling a replacement from a donor board, Jessa patched it in. She peeled off the screen's original backlight, held the display against her microscope light, then plugged it in.
The Apple logo appeared. The passcode screen came up. The class cheered. I wrote in my notebook: "I am a convert now. That was legitimate necromancy." I no longer felt like I was in over my head, but instead like I had just joined some secret society.
Next week, we'll detail how you pull off fixes like that: heat, solder, flux, shiny little chip balls, and the other stuff of actual board repair. Spoiler alert: you might find out that manipulating tiny things looks easy when Jessa does it (Me? Not so much).

If you can't use or redistribute ZXW board-view software, there are other alternatives.
Louis Rossmann uses software from Paul Daniels (http://pldaniels.com/flexbv/) for his board-view application. It is only the software - you need to get your schematics and related data files elsewhere, but it's may be more acceptable to your legal department.

I used to repair reel to reel, cassette players, super8 cameras, projectors and the like in the 80s and used the same rules of thumb you described above! fascinating. I started with my training having been simply to "think of electricity as water flowing, follow the flow and see where its wrong". from there I had to come up with strategies and chose the ones above, too. a big "bone pile" helped.

That was a nicely written article, Kevin. Well done!

Kevin, what an excellent article describing everything in language that even I understood. I am not an electronics buff but have built one or two small circuits, assembled my own SINCLAIR BLACK WATCH from way back and one or two or little projects. I have also ugraded my Mac Mini and iMac with dual drive kits from ifixit and really look forward to your E-mail articles. thank you once again, Kevin Silson - Perth, Western Australia

Very intriguing. Thank you! I can't wait to learn more. iFixit should get into offering classes to get in on logic board repairs, unless you do so already, I am missing out.

Celebrating Freedom With Favorite Israeli Recipes
Jamie Geller
Food has the power to transport you to another time and place...
One bite of something can lead me to my grandparents' warm little kitchen, with my feet dangling from the chair, waiting patiently for magic on a plate. A bite of something else can take me to the streets of Yerushalayim, with its heady aromas of Middle Eastern cookery.
I often write about my grandparents because I was so close to them, because I loved them, because I still want to pick up the phone and call them. They played such a big role in my life, shaping my impressions of the warmth of family meals, the pleasurable sense of entering a home where there's always good food simmering on the stove and the meaning of love and survival.
As I walk the streets of my new home in Israel -- walk my kids to school in the morning -- I think about the upcoming Yom Haatzmaut, with the flags flying from every school, every car, every rooftop. My child is asked to wear blue and white tomorrow to gan. And I think of my grandparents too.
They always dreamt of living here. As Holocaust survivors, (two in Auschwitz) their lives include stories that flood my imagination: My grandmother used to speak of being selected by the infamous Dr. Mengele on not one but three separate occasions -- and then running back to the "living" line when no one was looking, risking being shot to death on the spot. My grandfather was captured and held as a prisoner of war by the Russians for eight years, after the concentration camps were liberated. He served in a Russian forced labor camp alongside his Nazi captors. And he told how the Nazis were dropping like flies because they were not conditioned, as he had become, to the lack of food and intensity of work.
As Yom Haatzmaut approaches, and we prepare to celebrate Jewish freedom and independence, I can't help but link all these thoughts in my head. How this country was largely built by survivors of wars, oppression, and persecution. How the events that led up to the declaration of the State of Israel riveted and united every Jew in the world. I can't help but think about my grandparents, and how they would have loved to be here with me, right now. How they would take pride in my little ones prattling away in Hebrew at a pace I am still able to follow, but not for long.
We're going to a family pot luck BBQ to celebrate Yom Haatzmaut. I'm bringing beer and my California Avocado Salad. Listen, this is a country of immigrants, so it's legit to add our own flavor, literally, to the festivities.
But should you want something more bonafide "Israeli" in honor of the upcoming day, I'll share some of my favorite Israeli recipes with you.
What's your favorite Israeli food?

We're four weeks into the NFL season which means Jameis is back. No one's excited but still. He's back. Also, the Rams and Chiefs won again to no one's surprise. We also discuss rank Reich's idiotic decision. And make sure to listen for our pick of the week.
It's also the eve of the upcoming NHL season. While we're no hockey experts, we can google pretty well. We tell you a little about the big moves that happened since the Caps lifted the Cup. Speaking of cups, the Ryder Cup just happened. The US lost but we're more interested in a freak occurrence involving Brooks Koepka.
We close this episode with talk about the MLB postseason. We had a couple tiebreakers and now the field is set. One of the Wild Card games is even in progress (we're currently tied in the 9th). The Astros and Red Sox are looking like the favorites but the Dodgers look good to come out of the NL. But do we want to see a World Series rematch? Hopefully it doesn't happen. Let's get Oakland in the World Series.


"I would really love to see all Indigenous and non-Indigenous services put their staff through this training. I can't recommend it enough!"
"Language is my life. You have given me back my life. I am alive again."
"Dear ALNF, thank you for giving us books for our class to read. Now I can practice my reading. These books are helping me to improve my English. Thank you so much."
"I'm going to teach the kids to the best of my ability and give them the best chance that I can and I honestly feel that ALNF, that's the best chance."
"I have always struggled myself with language and literacy, been a bad speller and struggled at school. This training has taught me so much about language - giving me tools to use to teach and extend my knowledge to all children. All of it has been incredible."

Yanks Behind the Lines: How the Commission for Relief in Belgium Saved Millions from Starvation During World War I
by Jeffrey B. Miller
Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
book review by Joel Samberg
"Today, whenever there are civilians anywhere in the world in harm's way—from a natural disaster to an armed conflict—the nearly universal response has been: 'America will help.' That was not the case before World War I."
During the First World War, a group led by American citizens, known as the Commission for Relief in Belgium (CRB), saved millions of Belgian and French citizens from starvation when Germany occupied their homelands. CRB was not an official government agency, but became the largest food relief program up to that time in history. Despite that distinction, few people know about it now. That's precisely why this is such a valuable and formidable addition to World War I scholarship. The veteran author has been studying history for almost half a century. When he inherited a compendium of papers from his grandfather, who was a member of the Commission, he knew he had to chronicle the CRB story. This book is the result—a project that began when the author first heard the tales as a teenager and concluded with a decade of expert research and persuasive writing.
This historical footnote to one of the twentieth century's most devastating events proves that footnotes can be just as compelling as any other story about World War I. This particular one, about the kind of humanitarian aid effort that was unheard of until then, also proves that the author is as fascinated by the account as he wants his readers to be absorbed and moved by it. Through tireless research and sheer literary skill, he accomplishes his task. Supported by notes, sources, and reader aids, this studious effort is worth the time of anyone interested in gripping real-life stories behind weighty historical truths. As a bonus, readers get to meet many important people, from the famous, such as President Woodrow Wilson, to the relatively unknown, like Walter Page, the U.S. Ambassador to Britain, who was as impressive and dramatic a figure as countless characters in all the best books about war.

Home Leadership Change isn't an academic exercise
Change isn't an academic exercise
By Marshall Goldsmith
If you want to change, you must follow-up! Learn why this step is so important and how to do it, right.
Leadership Is A Contact Sport step 7 of 8: Change!
Change is simple, but it's not easy. It's hard. You have to do it. You have to put in the time and effort that it takes to change. That's one of the big reasons why I take what I do so seriously. When people commit to getting better, they are doing something difficult and heroic. There isn't a quick fix or easy solution. Lasting goal achievement requires a lot of time, hard work, personal sacrifice, ongoing effort, and dedication to a process that is maintained over years.
So, you're committed, you're ready, you're willing to change. What holds you back? What might keep you from following through on your commitment to change?
Why didn't you get better? You didn't follow up! Clearly, affirmatively, I can tell you that you will not get better if you do not follow-up. Once you've mastered the subtleties of asking, listening, thanking, apologizing, involving, and initiating change in your behavior, you must follow-up relentlessly! If you don't, all your hard work is just a flash in the pan, a "program of the month", and another reason why people don't trust that anything ever really changes.
I teach my clients to go back to all of their coworkers every month or two to ask them for comments and suggestions. For instance, one of my clients who had a problem sharing and including his peers in organizational happenings went to each colleague and said the following, "Last month I told you that I would try to get better at being more inclusive. You gave me some ideas and I would like to know if you think I have effectively put them into practice." That question forced his colleagues to think, once again, about his efforts to change, to mentally gauge how he was progressing, and to keep focused on his continuous improvement.
If you do this every month, your colleagues eventually begin to accept that you are getting better, not because you say so, but because they see so and they are reminded that they are seeing you change every time you ask them to look at you! When I tell you, "I'm getting better," I believe it. When I ask you, "Am I getting better?" and you say I am, then you believe it.
Follow-up is the last step of the Leadership Is a Contact Sport behavioral change process. You've walked through Ask, Listen, Think, Thank, Respond, Involve, Change – and now it's time to follow-up. This is the longest part of the process of changing for the better. It can go on, and should go on, for 12 to 18 months. And, fittingly, with all this time spent on this last step, you will find that it is the difference maker in this whole process.

Ok, so I know I have read about this before on here, but I searched and searched and couldn't find the thread, so forgive my re-posting.
I started my seeds indoor about a month ago and they are ready to put outside within the next week. I know that they could get transplant shock if I just throw them in the ground since they have been indoors all their life, however, I don't know how big of an issue this is. Should I slowly expose them to more and more sunlight over a two week period or is a couple days enough? Should I start leaving them out at night when it is colder a little longer at a time too? Will my different plants react differently?
I have tomatoes, peppers, beans, summer squash, sage, and basil all ready to go. It is always sunny here and gets up to about 75 or 80 during the day and down to 45 or 50 at night. There is generally no wind at all. Thank you so much for your time.


Your website is often the first point of contact that your company will have with its prospects. In reality, you could be either approved or dismissed as a credible partner without ever interacting with the prospect.
The internet (and the websites on it) is used universally as a research tool on the path to purchase.
Users demand better and faster experiences through more and more diverse devices (computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones).
Sherpa has a very unique approach to building websites. We start with analytics and use the insights gained to design captivating and immersive experiences. Our website designs are built through what we learned through the numbers - NOT because our designers "think that might work".
We talk about things like time to interact, heat mapping, time on site and conversion when planning a design.
When a prototype is signed off and handed over to our programming team, our customers know that they will end up with a website that delivers great user experiences. More importantly, we deliver our customers a highly functional, custom tool that measures itself.
