From the workbench
Bringing a replacement battery online
What happens between a replacement cell, the original protection circuit and the first successful charge cycle.
READ NOTE →ADB, Fastboot and the last-resort path
A practical record of the interfaces used while investigating a platform that officially stopped getting attention years ago.
READ NOTE →Opening a sealed wearable without turning it into scrap
Heat, patience, thin separators and a very healthy respect for the display assembly.
READ NOTE →Glass, adhesive and the art of waiting
Why the correct temperature and a few extra minutes can matter more than brute force when separating a bonded assembly.
READ NOTE →Why measurements belong in the notes
Part numbers, voltages, dimensions and the otherwise boring details that become extremely useful six months later.

ARCHIVE MARGIN / NON-ESSENTIAL DATA
The important art of recording unnecessary things
ROOM21.7 °CStable enough for electronics work.
BENCH PSULIMIT 2.00 AUsually set much lower than this.
ESD STATUSGOODWrist strap remembered after all.
LAST CLEANING2026.09Dust has already returned.
DOCUMENT STYLEFIELD NOTEMore useful than another brochure.
ARCHIVE RULEWRITE IT DOWNEspecially the measurements that look obvious.
WHY THIS ARCHIVE EXISTS
Official documentation ends somewhere.
This is where practical details begin: measurements, failed attempts, repairs, observations and things worth preserving.
