I’ve had this happen a couple times; how easily the strips pull out versus stay in place seems to have a correlation with the overall quality of the breadboard.
Partial disassembly also reveals some breadboards have metal fingers that don’t even close all the way or have “memory” of whatever was plugged in, versus better breadboards have the ends of the fingers feathered (while remaining just as strong/durable).
I don’t intend to thread jack, but is there a name for those connectors or tell me where I can find singles (instead of 5) contact that I can solder to proto board for a project of mine?
If anyone is wondering, im just looking for a quick connect for the prongs on dc motors so I can do CW and CCW test.
Not a shill I swear, but if you are considering a quality replacement, ben eater sells pretty much the best breadboards around. Check out his website, youtube is also gold
Probably nothing that a bit of time and some duct tape couldn’t fix.

Oof
This is up there with the guy who posted an iron stabbed through an entire spool of solder
Unless it is from your company. There, nobody gives a shit.
This also happened to me last week, it really is a pain in the ass to put back.
That’s fine, you didn’t want the breadboard anyways. Soldering iron and proto/perf board is more fun!
Sorry for your loss, but as a new-ish user of breadboards, I’m glad I got to see the inside properly. Looks really cool.
Question though: does this breadboard not have the power rails on the side as some do?

Good call on the NSFW
Damn, looks like a nice breadboard too

Hmm. Maybe pull it from the long edge instead? That way the force is distributed to all the clips at once.
Why take it off at all?
This is how we learn that the sticker is structural

For anyone seeing this who is new to breadboards; Do not ever peel the backing off and stick it to something hoping to remove or adjust it later.
The adhesive glue is so strong at bonding breadboard to surface, I’m pretty confident you could use it to fuse hydrogen atoms together.
Im pretty sure you can press them back in
Ouchie yeah that happens
Oh man, that’s a first for me lol. Took me way too long to figure out what that was.

It took me a solid 30 seconds to process that visual.
I’m genuinely impressed. Good job!
I did the same fuckin thing! It ain’t pretty.
An oof, but neat!
you should also go easier on the heat gun.
Fix it, did the same and took me a while to fix but got it done.
I feel your pain
This happened to me more than I would like to admit
Ops…
You turned the solderless breadboard into just a solderless…
That’s what happens when you buy a cheap breadboard from Amazon
Rip not RIP.
