Re: What have you fixed lately?
Reminds me of my old Fx602p. Bought it in the early 1980's and it finally gave up the ghost about 5 years ago. Pity I can't fix it but I can't bear to throw it away.
Just found this app though so maybe all isn't lost:

Another watch strap - one of those pesky rubbery ones which always seem to perish and crack. This time it was the strap loop which broke. A little superglue and some black tape carefully applied did the trick.

Re: What have you fixed lately?
Well I relocated my SHub, Asus RT-N66U Router & NAS drive to the hallway at the top of the stairs.
Now the Wi-Fi signal downstairs has jumped by 30meg, so instead of going through a wall and floor it just goes through the wooden floor.
I'm easy hitting 125meg over Wi-Fi

The old chap who is just around the corner from me.. His cold water storage tank in his loft was overflowing out of the pipe to his back garden. Had to fit a new ball valve.

Re: What have you fixed lately?
I finally wallpapered the chimney breast wall in the living room. We bought the paper for it about 2 years ago. Same with the bedroom window-blinds, we bought them around the same time and fitted them on Tuesday.
I can't believe we're actually getting things done, be it little by little.

Replaced the tumble dryer vent cover. The slats cracked after 3 weeks of sub zero temperatures.

Re: What have you fixed lately?
Our badly sticking back door. My God it was a hard job opening it where the wood has swollen so much with all this wet weather. Haven't taken too much off as I'm hoping it'll dry out sometime before I reach pension age.

Re: What have you fixed lately?
Well I've finally 'fixed' our household TV setup. We now have 2 newly installed Freeview HD recorders working perfectly (tough wood ) and Mrs Osem is suitably delighted. I seem to have ironed out the previous annoying reception issues with better quality coaxial cable and today ran new cable under the floor to feed our main TV in the lounge and the smaller set in the spare room.
I must say I'm very happy with the Freeview HD boxes, they're a vast improvement over what we had before.
