I have fixed my mobile, or at least managed to reassemble it and make it turn on.
The plastic shell was a little warped, so the body of the phone took a little effort to slip back in.
I used a nearby stapler to hammer it in.
So the score now stands at:
Fixed:
1 Fire Alarm
1 Mobile Phone
In Bits:
1 Reputation
1 Stapler
I am going to try the trick with the carpet tile and the pen lid on the reputation, and see what happens.
If the carpet tile thing doesn't work, try the thing with the rubber chicken and the pulley.
The carpet tile thing will work. It always worked.
I hear that the swiss will be building little squares of green carpet into their next issue of army knives, if only to fix the calculators they added to them last year.
