Have you worked in the field as an electronics engineer ?

It doesn?t take a vast array of tools to work on these items. It?s nice to have many small tools but not necessary.

Google/YouTube and iFixit are very helpful .

I?ve been repair consumer electronics since I was a kid ( broke/torn many others).

Knock on wood * I haven?t ran across anything I haven?t been able to repair. I don?t have a repair man on anything really. Just replaced the capacitor on my HVAC, saved me a 289 dollar service call.

I know it?s off subject but don?t ever call a repair man unless time is against your side/emergency that can?t wait or if it?s something way beyond your confidence level. Saves money and IT is FUN plus when you fix it (we the rest around didn?t think you could) you get to strut around the house like you?re a genius. It inflates your ?manhood? lol .
