In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

The Strangest Thing...
So I got a screw driver, undid the six screws and removed the back cover to find that the battery was inserted upside down with the + end contacting the - end.
The wierd thing is that I was using it the day before with no problems and no one had tampered with it. I had only opened it up for the first time this year and if I had installed it the wrong way previously it wouldn't have worked all that time before today. So I wondering exactly how the battery became like this. Was it ghosts, sabotage or aliens?

Mad that, it might have been in the right way but when you opened it it fliped as the case opened.
I had 2 car keys for my remote locking/alarm the battery went in one so I opened it up (following the insturctions of course) and the inside of the key, the PCB shattered, when I used the second key till it dided, tried to change the battery and it did the same! Mad!

I'm using the old battery at the moment, now correctly put in of course. If it wasn't following the standard of the flat end going with the spring bit of the socket, it wouldn't be working now.

I'm pretty sure that it wasn't moved when I was opening it up. The battery fits pretty well into the socket and requires a bit of force to pull out so I couldn't have accidentaly moved. This has got to be the strangest thing thats happened to me (my ufo sighting comes in second and I like to think that was an unusual optical illusion).

I'm very certain no one has tampered with it. Haven't had any friends over for a while and my parents can't be bothered to do this. Has anyone else had something like this happen to them before?

This is just a guess so it may not be 100 percent true
