I made instructions on how to repair ethernet connectors to extend the life of the cable.
This will be useful to people because in todays time more and more devices are required to be connected to the internet in order to function. Some devices which require more reliable connections and faster connections to the internet need to be connected directly to the internet. This can be done with an ethernet cable and it is very common that ovetime these cables can wear out near the connector. Instead of throwing away the cable which might be neatly fished behind a wall you can replace the connector and breath life into the cable again for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.

challenges: being able to find information on outdated devices or anything where it doesn't seem that there isn't much information on it at first.

Learning: what i learned from this challenge is that there are various ways on getting information about something and by exploring through different browsers or even indirectly searching around the subject can often lead you to related information

in the SEO project I wrote about the Bosch impact wrench. This was a device which didn't have much information online which I realized was a challenge when it came to developing the ifixit page. I overcame this by using different search engines to extract data from various sites and then use youtube and forums to gather customer use data and find other common issues that would be worth mentioning to anyone else using that same product.
