what the actual fart (the funny Philips TCD-312 in my phone stash)

Aug 7, 2026, Friday

short and lazy blog, i know; though someone did suggest that i share some of the weirder/more interesting repair stuff i've done as blog posts so here i am.

so there's this Philips TCD-312 that i had lying around. i decided to flip it a couple of times (i was bored and it's dead already, neither could i find a charger for it sooo) then accidentally dropped it onto the floor. the floor itself is intact despite being wooden, that's not my main concern.

anyway so i take a closer look at the phone, there doesn't appear to be any sort of physical damage aside from the metal chassis unclipping itself (the clips look fine too). i pressed on the metal chassis so that it clicks in place, i put the battery in. it fits flush.

it used to plop upwards when i put the battery back in before i dropped it.
