    I have a broken/faulty (I dunno) Audigy. What should I do with it?

    No sensible suggestions (like "claim the warranty you dimwit") please. My friend said that licking a pcb is an interesting experience, but he cut his tounge. I don't think I'll try that either.

    What would you do?

    PS: I have absolutely no use for it! (as it was meant to be used) :)

    How did you kill it.what I do when I am pissed and my circuitbord is screwed over, I take one of thse pens with the conductive stuff in it and randomly make wires or solder strands just to make shure it will never work again then the next week when I figured out I can fix it, I run hot water over it and all the 'paint' comes off, and I fix it and be on my way.

    If you really want something to lick , try a 24V truck battery ... they hurt like hell ...

    and for the card , use it as a necklace ... must be holes in there somewere ...

    I got it cos it was being thrown out ...

    Burn it? Is that a good idea? Surely it just gives off really evil smoke.... hey you're on to something here :evilSmilie:

    I'll pass on the truck battery licking thanks, but the necklace idea is great: it's black with loads of gold so would look quite bling :D

    cheers, keep 'em coming...

    The solder points wouldn't be too friendly on the neck though.

    No of course the smoke from buring solder isn't that healty, but neither is licking something lead-based...

    break it into little, pieces, and make a wall puzzle with it ;)

    a friend of mine used to stick faulty electronic stuff on his walls in his dorm room ... now, there's no spot where you can see the actual wall :)
