That knowledge base answer says:
> We also make full schematics and assembly drawings available to repair shops who get Framework products in for repair
But what about individuals who need to repair their own Framework products? If schematics and boardviews are only avaailable to repair shop businesses, that seems to completely contradict most of the copy on the framework site such as:
"Our philosophy is that by making well-considered design tradeoffs and trusting customers and repair shops with the access and information they need, we can make fantastic devices that are still easy to repair"

- bobsmooth 4y agoLouis has dozens upon dozens of videos where he fixes macbooks doing component-level repair. The schematics he uses are available and you could perform the same repairs if you have an hot air pen.

- jhugo 4y agoTo be fair, this type of repair is nowhere near as difficult as most people assume it is.
- f1refly 4y agoYou should try it sometime, component repair is not that hard even with average tools. I stuck a phantom powered aux jack in my laptop once, finding the faulty amp transistor and replacing it took about 20 minutes, and that was without schematics.
