As everyone is snuggling or stucked at home, decided to try something new things from YouTube as a ‘refresher’. Learned great 6 Spam rice simple recipes from YouTube (Simple Cooking)
Quick & fun prep with kids and now we cleared off one more meal..
Every year, the little one at my home has always asked something unexpected as a birthday gift. (Last year he wanted to go to ski on no school Monday, so I had to take a day off and spent whole day of skiing in mid March…)
This year, he said he wanted some weird dolls from weirdly named site of TheOdd1sOut. Not surprising but what?!!
These are the Baby James dolls I bought for him at this boy’s 11th birthday gift ๐ – character of YouTube cartoonist.. (one more still coming – delayed due to corona..)
All in all, I learned a new thing from him again – power of content on YouTube and also came to know one thing he watches regularly at YouTube..
Owning a home – to be exact – owning a responsibility to fix a home, taught me one more thing – Gutter can “sag”. All of sudden from some point there were extreme noise of water dropping at the backyard deck so I looked up and found a gap between gutter and roof-end and found out gutter was getting flatter and separating from the roof..ย another priceless moment ๐ฆ
After hours of research on web & youtube, finally found the right materials to fix and enjoyed the few hours of climbing up the roof and crawling flat on the roof with drill on one hand outside to plant the fixers. I guess kind of band-aided maybe for 2-3 years, hopefully…

Forced into DIY fixing as I became a poor homeowner Dad who doesn’t have a nice paycheck and no special skills for moonlighting ๐
Painting, Gardening, Changing the electricity outlet, Lawn seeding, Gutter cleaning, Installing dryer and washer, flooring, installing refrigerator, replacing dishwasher.. after series of this got into world of pluming ๐
Originally intended simple cartridge exchange but found out lots of things are worn out after opening up the facet. So happen to order a new one form costco.com
Journey of back crawling under the kitchen sink… would have been a nightmare without youtube! ๐
So couple of days ago, my wife’s Galaxy Note was broken – whatever charging cable we tried, the phone hardly get charged – the only case it got charged was when I pulled the charging cable to extream southeast.. It was painful and inconsistent and not a sustainable way..ย -_-;
So after some research, Iย found out, 1) this is not the problem of us only, and we had tons of folks who went thru this process, andย 2) some folks do sell USB charging port modules on eBay.. The challenge was finding out the right part for Tmobile version of Note 1 – which is an extreme rare.. (it only sold for a short period with limited quantity)
Luckily enough I was able to order one from eBay, and followed all the directions from the youtube video below
– Open 9ย screws at the back
– Open the surrounding cover (so painful!)
– Open 3 screws at the bottom and detach one module
– Open 2 screws at the mainboard
– Detach 6 connection cable points &ย 1 white line connection point & pull out mainboard
– Detach the white line connection from Charging port module
– Pull out the charging port & reconnect the line connection & all other cables and put back the screws and covers.
The biggest challenge was peeling out the surroundings case because I didn’t have that fancy plastic tool shown in video but I only have my nails as something similar (ouch!!)
With 1st try, it seemed working at first, but power supply seemed to be not feeding into battery.. so…after some thoughts .. I reopened it with hands & nails again (Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!!!!), and found out the cable connecting charging port module to mainboard was not clipped properly.. ๐ฆ
Finally, rework after work,ย finally the galaxy note is back to itsย life.. ๐
Gamble of $20 +pain in nails saved me $500.. but thinking this might have been done at one of the Samsung’s service center in Seoul with cheap service fee made meย feel sad that I live across the ocean…ย I do miss that convenience…
Thank you eBay (and who sold this)ย & Youtube (and the person who shared the video)!
