Anyone with experience/advice for a community appliance repair clinic?
A place where people can bring in small appliances/tools for help in diagnosis/repair.

With all the sealed/non-repairable things these days, perhaps this is a dying concept?
David_AVD:
I've heard of "repair cafes", but don't have any experience with them. Depending on the country there may be issues with working on mains power operated items (regulations, liability, etc) ?
mengfei:
we still have those back home but now most of them don't do real repair as we did before, really tracking down the root of the problem 

now they just say
- change the whole module
- change the motherboard
- it's cheaper to get a new one

Do you have Men's Shed in the USA?

Maybe you could repairs through something like that.

Yes, I volunteer at our local Repair Cafe. What did you want to know?
