Why there is a such thing as a board swapping if it would be truly serviceable. |

I think I need these tools to enjoy the future of electronics as a hobby: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61vilOmXMCL._SX522_.jpg https://www.motoman.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Robots/Application_Robot_Page_Images/SDA10_600px.jpg?t=1508273115461&width=300&name=SDA10_600px.jpg |

Aside from the cost constraints, there is also a lack of knowledge when it comes down to diagnosis and component level repair of some of today's devices. People like Louis Rossmann, Ipad Rehab, Chris Long and STS Telecom among others on Youtube are leading the way in showing what is possible particularly in the area of Apple products. I suppose because the cost of these devices is high, it can make it more attractive to have them repaired seeing as Apple refuses to do nothing but the most basic repairs to their products :-BROKE |
