New Battery and toolkit for my Nexus 10

The battery has slowly been losing the amount of charge it can hold (its about 3 yrs old now) but recently it has really dropped off. A have not seen a new tablet I like (I want "vanilla" Android - but the new Pixel C Tablet does not have a GPS chip and as I use it sometimes as a large Sat Nav that scuppers that)

Anyway it will either be the BEST (Nexus with 8hrs + usage again) or the WORST if I cant open the case and replace the battery without buggering it up...update to follow

Good luck sir!

Well it worked - installing it was not that difficult - getting the ribbon cables re connected was the hardest part - and the fact that the original battery has 12 screws holding t in place and the ne one only had 11 holes

Seems a lot better already

A ticket to Doctor Strange. It's not brilliant, it's not awful. It has more good points than bad. But it's very much a bridging film over having it's own plot. They had the wit to put a lot of comedy in there if you're worried about the trippy aspects. Those are the bits I don't like and they somewhat nullified them, thankfully.

Are you planning on doing any driving? If so I recommend going to South Beach Miami and the Keys.

I preferred Largo to West. What did you think? Had a great time and was a lovely place to finish the holiday (drove from NY to the Keys over 3 weeks)

I'm not planning to drive,but car hire will be required to get to Tampa and there has been talk of a drive to Miami.I'll let my daughter drive as she's had experience of driving in the U.S before. I can then concentrate on the drinking :D

We drove from the West Side – Sanibel to the Keys staying in a B&B a couple of blocks from Duval street

It was the annual Harley Davidson Chapters charity bike ride so it was stuffed with thousands of Harleys (and Bikers)

The B&B was owned and run by a Gay Hippie couple who were a lot of fun

I was with a former SWMBO but I have to say some of the sights in the bars with the bikers were something to behold ;) ;)

Crucial 525GB SSD on Amazon Cyber Monday.

Just put it in my 9 year old Q6600 desktop machine and put Mint Linux on it. With the old 1TB HD, it took around 30 seconds to boot, now it boots in under 10 seconds!

I was tempted to get one in the sales for SWMBO laptop - its out of warranty and a bit sluggish and it will be the old 5400 rpm drive that is really holding it back

Maybe in the new year
