    I dunno if setting the time counts as fixing...

      sure it does. the mechanism was no longer functioning properly. and its a repair even moreso considering the unknown nature of the system.

      sometimes you get paid because you know things, sometimes you get paid because you know how to figure things out.

        Yeah I repair old cameras these days. The amount of cameras I've fixed by just poking at random stuff until it unjams is surprisingly high. Even more so the number I've "fixed" by just replacing the batteries.
