@iFixit I recently brought an iPhone 4 back to life which has been a great alarm clock and music player

@iFixit My 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 repair win - bought a broken AntLion ModMic for around 1/7 of the original price. Fixed by redoing two cold solder joints.
𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 repair - my daughter's headphones. Yet I need to get an access to hot air solder.
And I 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲 to give up on my Logitech VX Nano mouse, now long discontinued. To keep it alive I learnt how to solder, and slowly built whole soldering kit. Which now helps me with other repairs. Together with @iFixit repair guides 👍🏻

@iFixit My old childhood SNES needs a new capacitor. 👍🏼 So that‘s my next repair project.

@iFixit I remember fixing the drive of my GameCube at uni with the cutlery in my kitchen drawer.

@iFixit being able to still run old laptops with a bit of work and using a phone like Fairphone 5

@iFixit this is awesome! Planning on reviving my OG iPod. :)

@iFixit I'm not sure it's my favourite but definitely was one of the most difficult and time consuming: repairing a bl***y iMac from 2008.

HDD + GPU needed to be replaced. And to do that i'd to (almost) disassemble everything.

I even had to use one of your guides: ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+20

@iFixit Wow, where to start... I have fixed 3 or 4 I phones... Batteries, microphones and switches as well as a screen...

My last fix was an SSD upgrade for an intell (2015) iMac. Tool kits, parts and instructions are always good.

@iFixit

Favorite win: My previous employeer was about to recycle a super expensive Dell rackmount server. Saved it by replacing ONE bad capacitor. It warms my basement now.

Next thing I want to fix: I have a busted oscillosope that will help me keep persuing my hobby of repairing electronics.

@iFixit I'll never give up my old OnePlus Nord, barely alive after 5 years of dedicated service. So many memories associated with this phone from when I was still in highschool...
