I love technology.
Not even remotely pharmacy related. I just spent the last half hour dissecting my DVD player to retrieve a disk. A lil plastic tab slipped out of a lil plastic slot, and therefore the whole thing won’t open. Seems the motor didn’t stop when it was supposed to and forced itself to far back and things slipped out.
On the plus side, I have been just waiting for an excuse for taking this thing apart. Actually its fairly simple. However RCA uses WAY too many case screws….
Yes, I am a geek. Not only am I a pharmacy Tech, but a techie. I built the PC I am writing this on from scratch.
This is what makes my job so interesting. I’m the one everyone comes to when we have a problem. And I love it.
Tech support on the phone? Sure put em on hold and I’ll grab the phone in the server closet.
Printer jammed? Give me a screwdriver, and I’ll gladly tug adheasive labels out of the rollers with tweazers.
Looks like I’ll be shopping for a new DVD player tomorrow, seems the motor malfunction was because a capacitor blew, and shorted out one of the control boards.
