McGyvered a Blue Magic

[suckolux]

Misspell on Magyver? No idea. Do I get kicked out for improper fix of a late model Blue Magic? Electronics shorted, put push button switch on top. It works, owner did not seem to care, $5 fix. Hers is years newer than mine, blue and black, where mine is blue and silver. The quality does not seem the same, mine is made in Korea , hers in China. Did not like it.

MacGyver would be disappointed you didn't spell MacGyver correctly...

I'm not a fan of electronics in vacuum cleaners, makes them too complicated to repair, so for me, there's nothing wrong with you bypassing the electronics with a simple button, I think that would be considered a "Redneck repair", or more PC, a bit of "Southern Engineering"....

What does "MacGyver" mean??

"What does "MacGyver" mean??"

The man can make anything out of nothing! Hairpin? Can overhaul a car I am sure. Clever, somewhat based on truth I think.Making due with what you have also works there.

Very nice, but being a guy, can we work it with the tv remote?

MacGyver can make an A-Bomb out of a toothpick. He can make a robot out of a paper clip and a piece of chewed gum! He was a great TV show. Not like that crap thats on TV nowadays.

mmm, guessed I missed that show. Don't even recall the name.

Re the men-vs-women control panel above, I'd have to say it's more likely just the opposite... men love gadgets and pushing buttons, while women generally could care less.

On the other hand...

That's a lot of Fiats...

I wonder if a collection of Fiats is called a "Deathtrap of Fiats"...
