  • @rrotwang Well, that's part of the reason we hold Fixit Clnics: to demystify complexity. Once we're inside the problem, and the solution, are often often obvious: most stuff goes home fixed or with a good prognosis for getting it fixed.

  • ive fixed things since i was young older things were less involved so more open easier to fix  newer items are more complex

  • Excellent, Peter. Very nice. I love fixing stuff and keeping old stuff going. Got that from my parents who lived through the depression, I guess. My first car was a 1956 Willys Jeep that I bought at a garage sale for $100. I had to rebuild the entire engine. But I ressurrected it. Very gratifying. I became an auto mechanic out of that experience. Later, a piano tech, then a computer engineer. Thanks for empowering people!

  • @peterwmui (YouTube doesn't allow URLs in these comments: search for the Fixit Clinic on Facebook, there's both an activity page and a fan page)

  • This brings to mind the idea that we have become afraid of devices. This is wrong-headed. If something is already broken then there is nothing to lose by trying to fix it. If you tried and failed, it's likely you've learned SOMETHING that will be of good use to you the next time you attempt to do a repair. What's missing in this is the part about knowing when to go to the ER after you've injured yourself trying to fix something. I can explain this part to anyone who is interested.

  • do you have any website ? I want read about your ideas..
