  • My story just happened today... our six-year-old added a last-minute request for an r/c car for Christmas, so we bought one from a dollar store as a stocking stuffer (do you see where this is going?). Well, you get what you pay for, because this particular car was dead on arrival. The kid's eyes lit up when he opened it, we popped in the batteries and then...nothing but a lit LED on the controller. The kid broke down in tears and I promised to try and fix it, in spite of being totally new to electronics. Today (Dec. 26) I disassembled it and found 5 broken solder joints which I managed to resolder with my cheap $10 soldering iron. To my amazement, when I put it all back together it actually worked! We now have a very happy kid and a rather proud dad.

    (Note: I took a photo of said happy kid and his new car, but can't figure out how to post it.)

    EDIT: Here's the photo of the Christmas miracle:

    Hi John,

     

    Well done on fixing the car and cheering your son up - bet he'll remember forever the year "dad saved Christmas" image.

     

    If you need to ever add a photo it should be the 7th icon along as highlighted in red in my screenshot below:
