Not a computer per se, but I bought a good rice cooker in China in 2014. Not overly expensive (around 40 dollar) and much better than I could buy at home. It stopped working in 2019 with some error code. Unable to go just go to china for a decent replacement (and the ridiculous shipping and china-local-product export tax, think 200 dollars) we thought let's give repairing it a go. After consulting friends and using online translation tools to dig through the manual, we found out that the temperature sensor was not giving a correct response. Okay, so what is wrong. Using a screwdriver and the right amount of force, we managed to open up the plastic encasing of the rice cooker. After going through the electronics, we noticed the wire from the board going to the lid of the cooker was, well, bent. Think like a thin speaker wire making a 90 degree turn. Well, that can't be right. After cutting out the problem, soldering back the two wires and closing it off with some tape, it actually came back to life. It has since been working without other problems.
