    I've had 2 digital cameras, and the second one died last weekend. How? I was filming something, dropped the camera lens first, and it became slightly lop sided and now the lens won't go back in. Every time I power on: lens error. This is frustrating. I took the whole camera apart, unfortunately, the lens can't somehow be detached, along with the main LCD screen. A black sticky film covers the whole circuit/mother board. Now I have 2 extra screws and I have no effing idea where they go. Either way, it's dead, no warranty, and that usually means: not worth the money for repairs.

    The first one, I stopped charging the battery for almost 2 months. So I stick the battery pack on the charger and the red light indicating that it's "charging" starts to blink: I google'd around because it happened once but I guess I was lucky and persistent enough to get it to charge properly. Apparently, I let the battery die to the point where the TINY TINY TINY power that's left on the battery to send signals to the charger is absolutely gone. So there's no way for the battery to tell the charger to "charge" basically. If it's hard to understand: Think of DNA and RNA. If RNA can't receive the "blueprint" of the DNA, it won't know what to do basically.

    I'm so pissed off..I haven't had much luck with electronics. I have no idea why. They hate me so damn much, and being a kid of the 21st century, my do we have a big problem. I guess partly clumsy me is just not fit for this. I'll try to take care of my things. I'm broke now. Both my digital cameras were Casio's, just slightly different model. I guess the next step is the DSLR camera i've researched on for a long time and never bought because of financial issues. I've been trying to think of reasons why I SHOULDN'T blow money on one to save, but now I have none :p I honestly can't live off my 3MP camera on my BB Bold. I will die.

    The following things I broke...somehow..{or simply can't be usable}
    - iPod Mini: battery only lasts 5 min
    - iPod Nano gen 2: the white top {hold bar} came off. No freaking idea how I managed to lose that. Wasted 50 dollars to ship to Apple only to have them tell me it was my fault.
    - iPod Nano gen 3 {video}: Hold button flickers, sometimes won't hold. No fault of my own really. I never dropped the thing, kept it in a case.
    - Casio camera x 2
    - Laptop is freaking out on me {poor choice when choosing the laptop itself, not because of my ill technical knowledge}
    - Black DSL: black "dead" pixel started taking over on top screen, dropped it a few times {not major falls}, starts to spread even when not touched for a long time.
    - Sony Ericsson w580i: screen flickers every millisecond, colors effed up. Used for a year, dropped a few times.
    - Sharp 703SH phone: antenna some how broke. won't receive any signal. Dropped a lot...accidentally flung against a wall..
    - NUMEROUS pairs of ipod headphones. But they just suck bad in general.

    I have an ipod touch 3rd gen currently, and once again because of money issues, I kept pushing and pushing back buying a nice case for it: now the back is scratched as hell.

    I learned my lesson: i'll take extra care of my stuff from now on. I promise....{to whatever I will own in the future..}

    -_________-
    Sigh...i'm born to waste money.
    {Lol...doubt anyone read all that}

    ...The electronics are scared to go to your house in fear of being abused and stuff :O

    You Electronic Murderer!

    That kinda sucks though. I'm pretty lucky when it comes to Electronics.. Broke my old PC a few times, but that was because I kept trying to build it up making it better. Now I have a laptop > I cant pull it apart.

    Although. I do have a motherboard and case for a PC which I'm going to start buying parts for soon :D

    Anyway, I digress! (as usual)

    Computers don't nearly frustrate me as much. I don't ever break computers.
    At least even when it breaks or a part needs replacing, I know how haha.
