go to your nearese electronics repair shop and ask there you may be lucky to
get an item that has been bought infor repair and the item is not repairable
you may be lucky.we get a lot of cameras for repair that are not repairable
for price quoted.
we are then told to keep for bits.
It is worth a try.

As in stuff that more likely would be thrown out then used
or repaired.

Anyone know where one can go to find items that are more likely
to end up in the bin then fixed?

I'm after a video camera which fits this position to take apart and
have a look inside.

In fact anything like that including any kind of brick style mobile
phone or such if anyone has any destined to be thrown out......
Preferably here in SA too...

Plenty of dry wood in a thunderstorm.

There can be plenty of dry wood between metal
that gets the strike and the ground in buildings etc.

Doesn't mean it becomes a conductor.

Wrong, as always.

For instance ionisation will bridge the gap and the wood simply burns
because
of the temperatures involved with a strike.

Bullshit. Everything can be scaled down to size and standardised if the

The size is irrelevant, the problem is that everything is integrated on
the motherboard with a laptop, so you clearly get no flexibility with
what is integrated into that motherboard, its either included or its
not.

That is the whole point, changing that so people can customise.

The only time this can happen is when there is no possible way for the
lightning to find ground. What happens in this situation is that it
usually 'punches' or burns a hole in the material. Once again, the
material itself is not doing the conducting.

Lightning still follows the path of least resistance, and considering
that air breaks down at a much lower voltage than timber, the air will
always win.
 
to have 3 way switching ( not wireless ) the intyermidate switch in the
middle is conected to the other switches ( it is a special switch) The
only way I can think of doing what you want is to use a product similar
to hunter pacific fan controler it uses wireless remote control which
can be set to only work with that controler. This would be conected to
the light (receiver) and controller ( transmitter) can be placed in
room say near door or carried with you. NOTE this controler also has a
light output. The standard model is about $60 and the deluxe $100.
