I finally had enough of the 'just replace the board' habit
Last week, a guy brought in a gaming console with a simple power issue. Everyone in the shop said to swap the main board, but I spent an hour tracing the circuit. I found a blown capacitor that cost pennies to replace. Now the thing works like new, and I saved the customer a lot of money. Why are we so quick to throw parts at problems instead of actually fixing them?

My buddy fixed his phone the same way last month.

Hold on, @emeryb34, did your buddy actually fix his phone like that? Tbh, that sounds kinda risky to me. I heard DIY fixes can brick your phone real easy. What did he even do? Honestly, I'd be too scared to try it myself. Ngl, I'm shocked it worked for him.

What exactly did @emeryb34's friend do to it?
