Similarly resuscitated a washing machine twice with 10 and $20 dollar parts. Hardest thing was getting sheet metal back in place as it tends to contort and warp.
YouTube and specialized forums are very helpful in pinning the issue and parts.
Even, some years years back (10 or so?) when buying a woolen pullover you’d get a bit of mending yarn wrapped around cardboard bobbins with the exact same color as your sweater.
Nowadays they’re not included, at least where I buy.
Strong agree. YouTube creates so much value around repairs. I can fix all sorts of things with my pool thanks to YouTube. And everyone I know has learned tiny practical skills of one sort or another from there.
I followed a youtube to take out an lcd panel from a laptop to replace. The panel is cracked in the corner and the whole picture if fuzzy. It was easy enough and that then gave me the confidence to order a new one, which is in the mail as I speak. Cost is circa 15% of the new laptop price.
To add to the anecdotes, I wanted to add a chip of ram to my laptop but was very uncomfortable with the amount of pressure that was required to take off one of the bottom edges. Watching a video of someone doing it without damaging the device gave me the confidence to go ahead.
