Hardware Hacking & Repair
I am leading an open-ended hardware hacking / repair class teaching the basics of repairing things like:
- flat screen TVs / monitors
- headphones / headphone cables
- ATX power supply / general power supply repair
- battery care (and reviving "dead" li-ion packs")
- basics of laptop repair
When is the class?
Monday, August 11 at 6:00 PM. The class will go for as long as there is interest.
Where is the class being taught?
The class will be taught in the Turing classroom at Noisebridge. The address is:
2169 Mission St.
3rd Floor
San Francisco, CA 94110
The gate to the space should be open while the class is in session. If not, you can read up on getting into the space by clicking here.
What do I need to know?
The class is more of an intermediate level with soldering know-how required. It would be nice if people are familiar with the basic parts like resistors, capacitors, etc.
I will also keep it open for suggestions so people can pick my brain as to things I've repaired over my 10+ years doing this stuff.
I will bring some monitors to hack.
How much does this class cost?
This class is free, as are all classes taught at Noisebridge. A donation of around $5 is appreciated toward the cost of the components that I am bringing to the class, but no one will be turned away.
If you feel the class was beneficial, we'd really appreciate a donation to Noisebridge to fund our ongoing renovation and lasting presence in the city.
How can I get more information?
