    I repair a lot of my stuff, but bear in mind repairability isn’t just ‘can I fix it’, but ‘can anyone’, which includes repair shops.

    The ideal easiest repair should only require a screwdriver and a replacement part.
    Moderate may need soldering and some experience.
    Worst case, all you can do is bin the whole product or find an expert, if it’s worth it.
    (just broad examples thinking consumer electronics)

    I’ve done various things from PS controllers to wireless earphones.
    Not having shit glued, providing spare parts, making considerations during internal design all make huge difference in how easy and likely to succeed a repair is.
