@iFixit By far my biggest repair win was rebuilding a carburetor on an old Honda Prelude back in the 90s. Guided by a Chilton manual, I took the old one apart and placed the pieces on a big piece of cardboard, labeling as a I went. When I was all done, I got in the car and turned the key... and it started! I drove that Prelude for another two years or so before selling it.

@iFixit don't need one as I've already got a pro tech kit, but i can vouch that it's awesome and has kept many a phone alive past its intentional best-by date... and all those picks and stuff are handy for all kinds of things you don't expect!

@iFixit biggest repair win was my HP Notebook with a broken mainboard. My device I didn't give up, the pixel 4 with a kind of big accu pack

@iFixit I want to change the screen of my zoom h6 handy recorder... it's a pity to keep it in such bad condition.

@iFixit@mastodon.social My favorite "fix" was actually migrating the data on my laptops old 256 GB SSD, to a new 2 TB SSD. I used your upgrade kit! Still have it!

@iFixit been doing maintenance on the old family computers. Hard drive failed (rotten latex fittings) so replacing it with a BlueSCSI. Upgrading the memory (feeling luxurious, whole 4mb!)

@iFixit Not giving up on an old 4:3 LG monitor.
Although it involves welding new capacitors

@iFixit I managed to replace LCD screen of a Canon DSLR. First I bought a defective screen (it displayed wrong colors), but then someone donated a bricked camera with usable screen.

@iFixit after the big Spanish blackout last year our robot vacuum refused to charge or start up. I disassembled it as well as the charging station to check for damage, but everything seemed okay? So we decided to order a new battery as a last hail Mary, as it may've been fried during the spike. Lo and behold, with the new battery in (which was kind of a pain to change, sadly) everything started charging and working again, and we saved like 400 euros in the process

@iFixit repaired my Senheisser MB660 headphones, and my wife's PXC550s, which are near identical. Batteries failed in both units, bought some new ones, watched some videos, did some spudging and soldering, now as good as new. Also replaced the ear pads while i was at it. 8 years old and counting!!!

@iFixit I think at some point I would need to fix my old Dual Shock 4, even if I don't use it anymore, I can't stand having it broken!

[marceline@dergdungeon.com.au]

there's a lot of repairs I've done using your guides they've been so useful. I've used it from stuff like iPhones and Samsung phones to game consoles like the switch and Xbox.

[elisehuard@macavity.cat]

@iFixit I’ve got two laptops, one 2013 MacBook Air and one Dell which both have dead batteries, I’d like to replace them

[neckspike@indiepocalypse.social]

@iFixit I just serviced a late 80s sewing machine I got from the thrift store for $25, I was delighted to find it in much better condition than I feared. This is after the switch to nylon gears so it's not a desirable vintage model, but it's still got some good use left in it!

[praetorcreech@wue.social]

@iFixit Soon I have to fix some Joy-Cons.

[archenemy@mas.to]

@iFixit I want to restore my ipod 5g with a new battery, some kind of solid state storage and a free firmware. and then maybe friends and family minis and nanos, of possible

[aiquez@troet.cafe]
