I happened upon an interesting website called iFixit that provides user manuals for repairing household appliances and electronic devices (this post’s title is from their Self-Repair Manifesto).
The next time something breaks (or, before you buy a gadget and want to know how easy it is to repair it or replace its battery) check out the site: it’s free, and there are step-by-step instructions and photos to guide you through the repair process. If something breaks, instead of buying a new one, try repairing your old one!
And, if you possess specific knowledge about repairing a device, you can share your expertise through the site.
The goal of Luke and Kyle (the website’s creators) is to help ‘fix the world’ by providing repair manuals for any hardware you can think of.
What an excellent idea!
