The title irks me a little: you already have the right to repair, provided you have enough knowledge. What the author demands is documentation.<p>I would love more documentation, like anyone, but you don&#x27;t really need any documentation to replace a broken capacitor (a very common failure for most screens, I guess): you need to know how to spot a broken capacitor, find a replacement, and basic soldering skills. There are tons of videos that teach that, but few people really want to research that (generally because they are afraid of electronics, or think they are not smart enough).<p>On the other end, some issues can&#x27;t be fixed at all, because repairing is so close to the full price of the device. Some examples that happened to me: inflating smartphone battery that damages the motherboard, damaged screen due to shock (wide vertical band of dead pixels).<p>Between that, there are probably a lot of small problems that are specific to a particular model. It would be great that those ones are documented, indeed.<p>Some other basic things, like replacing a smartphone&#x2F;laptop battery and screens would be very welcome on the manufacturer website, but like capacitors, you should be able to find tutorials for a lot of devices.<p>The truth is, to repair things, you need mostly knowledge to identify problems and labor time to fix things. Both of which is what makes it expensive.
