Anyone here know where I can find a good tutorial / free online courses or lectures on PCB repair? I’ve been a software engineer for about 10 years now and I’ve seen so many good laptops, monitors, phones, etc get tossed in the garbage for as little as a blown capacitor. I’d love to learn how to fix this kind of stuff. So if anyone has a good source for learning, please let me know.

College?

There are probably online courses for this. Probably MIT courses.

Great company, has guides for how to repair just about anything within 6 months of it coming out.

Louis Rossman has a lot of good videos on YouTube of that nature. Along with lots of good ole Apple bashing.

/e I don't post this to say all YouTube guides are crap. It's just that one day you may want to be able to FIND the broken component on your own.

Oh cool. MIT courses. That's what's up.

Louis Rossman is a self taught genius. He's so good at calling out Apple's bs.
