Repair what you have?
REPAIR WHAT YOU HAVE?! Are you outta your friggin'
mind!
Dude, you
always use the failure of a peice as an excuse to buy a
new peice!
How long have you been at this?
Okaaaay, you could maybe fix it, but depending on how old it is it may not be worth it. Besides, depending on where you live it can be hard to find a decent shop anymore. And expensive. Aside from places that do mosty warrenty stuff, so much of the household electronics nowadays is essentially disposable.
When your vacuum or toaster goes out, most people toss and and buy a new one since they're so cheap. Hence the drop off in the number of guys who repair the stuff.
