I hope component level circuit board repair continues to grow in popularity and accessibility. Damage and failure which cause devices to be thrown away can often be fixed by a skilled person with specialized microsoldering equipment. But electronics manufacturers in general seem to be opposed to this idea, preferring that people dispose of products after a few years and buy something new, and often taking measures to actively discourage people from fixing their devices. Not only is this anti-consumer, it further promotes e-waste. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPjp41qeXe1o_lp1US9TpWA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPjp41qeXe1o_lp1US9TpWA https://www.youtube.com/user/rossmanngroup https://www.youtube.com/user/rossmanngroup http://motherboard.vice.com/read/how-to-fix-everything http://motherboard.vice.com/read/how-to-fix-everything
