I am at my local fair with my sign shop and most of the orders have been made by my CW. I have hand routed 7 out of the 25 signs. That is not not the new one!!

Any way yesterday I started a carve and nothing, checked the screen close cover! So I tapped on it ( oh you do it too!) nothing! Raised and closed the cover nothing! So I took a small screw driver and engaged the button, worked fine!

So I looked at the cover and the plastic tab broke off and was not making contact! I was at the fair and could not leave to get another cover! I drill a small hole into the broken tab and I broke a dry wall screw in half. Using some pliers I insert the broken screw and after a little adjustment `Viola back in business! I did take some masking tape and cover the broken end of the screw.

So there is a new one in the books! Usually it is a loose cover or loose switch!! But this time it was a broken tab, which I have no ideal why it broke! But it is Ikeized now!

Good on the job fix!

Some times if the cover gets off center that tab will hit the edge and get bent.

Thanks Guys! Yep Ken chewing gum and bailing wire is all you need! I just thought that was new one! True Al the hinges get loose and it causes close cover! Might of been my gentle tapping?!! Floyd when I finally get a good fair I will order my DC! I just had some dental work to the tune of $7000.00 and after the insurance I owe $2700.00! So funds are going to paying off my teeth! Sad I had to get financing for my teeth! A 7 tooth bridge and they look purdy!
