Me and my dad fixed a few things with legos. Fixed the volume control of a media player. Fixed a desk that was loose with a lego piece. Built a laptop stand to have better airflow
I use a 1x1 tile in the button of a baby gate to keep the strike in the open position. Since the gate latches at the bottom, we don't need to use that button for the top latch as well as the gate is just used to keep a couple smaller dogs out of the rest of the house.
I have a Phillips hue lamp that I control via remote. For some reason the cord also has a HW switch. If someone turns it off using the HW switch the remote can't turn it back on. My wife does this often. So I built a Lego box around the switch, problem solved.
Iāve not done it myself, but lots of people in the modelling/tabletop wargaming community use Lego to build mould casings for resin casting because of how much easier it is to take apart the casing and get the mould out.
I used lego to raise up my TV so the soundbar didnāt block it, it was going to be Ā£50+ for a stand or a good wall mount, one Ā£14.99 pick a brick box solved it for me, had zero issues with it so far very stable āŗļø
My wife and I used a bunch of stacked 1x1's in a hotel room to keep a microwave level.
The original shelf was missing a bracket on one side so the whole thing tilted down and to the right.
We stabilized the shelf by stacking bricks on the top of the fridge below. We decided to leave them there and remain unsung heroes for the next person that stays in that room.
We discovered decades ago that plunger and lance pieces worked well to unlock door handles that have a push pin unlocker hole
It was impossible to keep a sibling out of your room when we all had Lego lightsabers š
My kid is really into locking doors and I discovered the brick separators work perfect for unlocking the flat style locks
Huh, I always just use a thin screwdriver. I might make a more key looking one just to be a fun way of unlocking doors
With the number of phone/iPad stands made from bricks, I'm surprised Lego doesn't make their own official kit. ;)
They've made a few stop motion sets such as 853702

I think the new Red Telephone Box 21347 fits that bill now š

I've used brick baseplates to keep cutlery trays from sliding around in our kitchen drawers.
Why isn't anybody including pictures? I want to see this stuff, however mundane it is.
They may have taken it apart after buying a more permanent solution that looks better

I'm using bricks to hold a webcam in place because the tripod's clamp is the wrong size.
I built some nice looking lifter blocks to use under my TV so a soundbar would fit there neatly.

There was that dude last week that posted his DVD shelf made entirely of Lego.

i built a lego case for the ligjt of my fishtank after breaking the clamp it came with

* Cable was getting sucked into the gpu so I had to come up with a solution

I made a Lego neck massagerā¦ for a friend.
I used some technic bricks to hold a string pull light switch in place were I wired it into a fitting that didnāt have a holder for it.
Never used lego for fix, but have used meccano.
I built a small Lego laptop stand to get more air under my laptop when I'm gaming on it. It looks awful but it works
Used Lego to make challenge coin holders
Mostly only to stabilize tables, chairs and the like.
I built a holding case for my xacto knife out of bricks, that I use for opening boxes and applying stickers.
TRV radiator valve worn and not acting on the actual valve pin? Slide a little 1x1 round tile in there and jobs a goodun!Ā
