Ya know… how crazy would it be to set up a charity-ish thing for buying kids replacement screens for phones?
Just the part and tools, mind you. Not labor. They do the labor themselves. It’s really not that hard. (Even in the so-called unrepairable phones! I did an iPhone 12 battery last year. iFixit has those guides down to a science).
Might work miracles at showing teens they can fix problems (even those that even their parents are scared of!), that repairing stuff isn’t that scary, and that $40ish can go quite a long way.
- c22 3y agoDon't underestimate your skillset. I've repaired plenty of phones myself, but I've also been working with small tools and soldering electronics since I was a young child. My father, who is a perfectly capable adult human being with experience using many tools (but not many small detail-oriented tools) tried to fix the screen on his phone after I implied it might be pretty easy and he ended up having to buy a new phone.
