How to Repair Your Electronics Yourself

  • Posted by: Andrew Price
  • on March 23, 2009 at 5:41 pm

A little while ago, I posted about the Repair Manifesto, one design firm’s effort to promote the practice of repairing things rather than trashing them. It’s a great idea, but these days we rely on lots of complex electronics that require more than just elbow grease and common sense to fix. You can’t repair your iPhone with a hammer and nails. But if you’d like to find out how you can, refer to iFixIt.com, a site that explains how to do repairs on all sorts of Mac products.
