"They're already repairable, it just requires hot air rework and a bit more skill than swapping a DIMM."
Where do I find people who can do that?
I google 'electronics repair London' and all I get are little shops where a dude with a screwdriver might replace a RAM stick, which I can do myself too! If I search for 'hot air rework' I get people trying to sell me kit. If an engineer can't find a place for such repair in the largest megacity on the continent, what hope is there for an average Joe?
Also for chromebooks and crapbook worth $200-$300, how is that rare person going to charge for his time?
