Fix your own electronics

[Admoose]

all

I have a CD/player that doesn't work properly and don't want to throw it away just yet.

Does anyone know of any local events or workshops where you can learn to fix your own electronics? I know some areas of London have Restart parties but don't know of anything closer to home.

Thanks!

Hi there Admose,

Some times when I've got faulty equipment, it can really help to look up the model number and the problem in a youtube/google search, you'd be surprised how many people repair and give good instructions/tutorial on videos they make when they are repairing their own equipment. Some are better quality than others, and but not everything/faults fix's are uploaded.

Hope this may help, and may your cd player live longer!

That's actually a great idea! I didn't think of it as it's quite an old player but will see if I can find something

Perhaps this place might help? Repair Cafe, SE1.

That's exactly what I was looking for - shame they only seem to have a couple of events a year

There's this group, don't know if they do electronics though https://mendersclub.wixsite.com/mendersclub

What components / functionalities aren't working properly?

They might do but unfortunately I'm neither a man nor over 50 😉

My toaster doesn't work and frustratingly know it must be an easy problem... Neither time or patience..

I've never used them or visited, myself but has anyone been to
