Springfield XDS 45 ca.

  First of all I would like to start off with so far this is the favorite out of all my guns.  I like the style and the caliber, which everyone's likes are different.  Its a compact gun, very small and packs a punch when you shoot it.  If you have never shot a handgun before this is probably not the one you want to start with, because of the high caliber and such a small gun which causes a lot of recoil.  Since it is small the magazine does not hold many rounds, because 45 ca. bullet is a decent size round, I think it might hold five rounds stock, unless you find a extended magazine.  The gun has a safety on the rear of the gun that must be pushed in, in order to fire and another safety on the trigger.  Its takes a while to get use too, when you are target practicing, because of the recoil.  But, what I have hear is the main breakdown of the gun with pictures:

Step 1.  Also before you handle any gun make sure the gun is unloaded, when breaking them down.
Step 2.  Remove the magazine using the magazine release button.

 

 

Step 3.  Pull slide back and press up the slide lock button.

 

Step 4.  Slide the frame release button in the upright position, as seen toward the front of the slide.

 

Step 5.  Pull the slack back from the slide and the lock and release button will release and the slide will return to its normal position.





 

 

 

Step 6.  Pull the trigger and the slide will remove from the frame, and make sure the gun was unloaded or it will fire at this point if there is a bullet in the chamber.



RCA Voyager 7" Screen Replacement

Hey guys, I'm back with another breakdown, but this time its of a tablet.  Today I got in a RCA Voyager 7" tablet with a cracked screen.  Luckily this time it wasn't the LED, it was just a digitizer which, is the glass part over the devices LCD screen, that causes it to be touch screen.  They are much cheaper! 

For this set up all your going to need is a small Phillips head and a small pry tool.

You will see two holes on each end where I already removed the Philips screws.



After you remove them screw, use the pry tool to pry the back from the front, just be careful because the speaker will be connected to the back plate but the wires will be soldered to the board on the front half.

First around the orange circles there are ribbon connectors there that need to be disconnected.  Then at the bottom of the circuit board there are three yellow circles, there are Philips screws in them spots that need to be removed.  Last you need to remove the battery which has a red square around it and its glued down so it takes a little force to remove it from the back of the screen.

 

Now you can use the pry tool to remove the LED screen apart from the digitizer and WALLA your done.  I know this isn't easy for beginners to use but for beginners that want to try this its fairly easy and a good start.  Goodluck



Gun Breakdown and Clean

Soon I have a few guns, out of my collection that I am going to breakdown and do a basic clean.  I know this will help some of you gun lovers outs!

Deer Hunting Feeder

As we all know deer season has been here and now the rut has finally started.  The thing every hunter waits for when deer season starts.  For those who have no clue of what the "rut" is, it is when the big bucks start chasing the does because they want to mate.  But anyways, I have been hunting without a feeder and just throwing my corn on the ground.  But this can be a waste, because depended on the deer in your area they might eat it in a couple days.  In my case I was throwing corn down but only a little at a time with, this meant that I was have to travel back down there every two days to through more feed out.  So I had this feeder I built a while back, its a gravity feeder, you can make these yourself and if you want to learn just Google it, there are a bunch of nice tutorials out there, or I might post a blog one day going through it step by step.  One thing I do recommend is that, some people will tell you to go with a big 6 in PVC pipe, which are very costly, I would definitely recommend going with a smaller tube, because of the price and its not going to make much of a difference.  Where my problem was, is that I was getting tired of traveling down to my stand everyday putting out corn and this way you can put abundance of feed out there and not have to worry about refilling it but maybe once a week depending on the population of deer in your area.  So I went out to my tree stand and set my feeder about 20 ft. away up against a tree and filled it up with corn, the "apple scented kind" I like it a lot.  Here's my advice on this, if you are a big rifle hunter and you decide after the season has stated that you want to put a feeder out whether a gravity feeder or any other types of feeders you can buy, put the feeder out there two weeks prior to the beginning of rifle season.  Once you do that don't hunt it because there's no reason to because the deer will not come around, because the feeder will scare them off because there not accustomed to it.  But after about two week they will get used to seeing it out there and take the chance to eat out of it and when they see it doesn't hurt them, they will be back everyday.  So once you set up the feeder keep a check on it every couple days.  Once you start noticing feed is being eat then chances are they are accustomed to it.  If you are having trouble and this is not working for you, there's another suggestion I can make to possibly help.  If you was laying corn on the ground and you want to set up a feeder and the steps above do not work for you, then what I would do and I guarantee it will work is, to set up the feeder and fill it up with feed, but place the feeder about 10 feet away from where you have been laying your corn.  Then keep throwing out corn in the same spot too, so the deer will still come to that spot.  The last thing would be to make a corn trail to the feeder along with the corn pile and see if that doesn't work.  But after all the techniques I just mentioned that I use my self, I am positive that you will see good results from it.

Gateway Q5WTC Laptop LED Screen Removal

Well I stepped on my laptop and cracked the screen so I took it apart to find out what type of screen, so I can order one.  I searched to see if there was any videos are anything to help show the removal process, but couldn't find anything.  So this may help a lot of you guys.

Step 1.  Remove the battery from the back of the laptop
Step 2.  Then remove the cover over the hard drive in the back if the laptop, which is two screws, then pop the cover off.
Step3.  There's a small cover near the battery port, that is held in with one screw, remove the screw and pop that cover off.
Step 4.  Next you want to take all the screws out of the back of the laptop, everyone of then, including the ones in the battery port and under the hard drive cover.
Step 5.  Once you have done that, the top cover that includes the keyboard and the touch pad will come off, take a small pry tool and pry apart,  WHILE YOU ARE DOING THIS WATCH OUT BECAUSE THE KEYBOARD AND TOUCHPAD WILL STILL BE CONNECTED.  TO DISCONNECT THEM JUST PULL PLUGS FROM THE SOCKETS. The top cover should come completely off.
Step 6.  Next step is to remove 4 screw, where I have circled on this picture and remove the connections I have circled.

Step 7.  Will be to turn the laptop over to the backside and undo the white and black wires, that were under the hard drive cover.

Step 8/  Now look at the hinges that hold the screen onto the base of the laptop and pull through the black and white wires because they run into the screen.

Step 9.  Remove screws from the hinges, should 2 on right side and 3 on left side, and the screen should come apart from the base.

Step 10.  At the bottom of the screen, there are 2 screw on each side under covers, you can remove the covers by digging in and trying to pull them out/

Step 11.  Now the frame around the screen will pop off, you may have to go around it slowly with a small pry tool.

Step 12.  Is to remove the 4 corner bolts holding the LED screen in, then the screen will completely remove from its shell.
