Does anyone have a heat pad I can borrow to replace the wee one's tablet screen. Hopefully will only need it once so don't really want to spend $100 on one. Happy to put a koha towards beer, or a GZ donation

Located Auckland/Hamilton.

Last time I did it, I used the bed of my 3D printer. Just to give you other options.

I've done this in a pinch with a hair dryer. Watching a how-to video the other day of removing the sensors that are stuck to the screen on an iPhone made me realise that a gel heat-pack warmed in the microwave could also be used.
