It's not always easy to fix modern products, but when you can, it's a great feeling to avoid throwing something into the trash stream.

Fixed some headphones
My son had pulled the wire out of one side of a pair of cheap headphones. These things break all the time, but they're so cheap I rarely think to fix them. This pair had an ear-wrap feature that he seemed to like, though, so I cracked open the casing on the speaker and discovered that the wires had simply come off their solder pads. A little wire-stripping and solder later and we were back in action. I was even able to snap the casing back together without glue.

Wow, that is nice. What drives me crazy are all the little bits and pieces of cases and electronic stuff I have laying around that are never compatible with anything else--the tiny screws are the wrong size, the jacks don't mate, the power adapters provide the wrong current . . . arrggh.
