In early 2020, I became interested in Louis Rossmann's content, which deals with components-level repair on circuit boards, with Macbooks being his main focus. I took up this hobby of trying to take components off boards and put them back on. A lot of dead boards later, I finally got a basic understanding of soldering/reflowing surface mount components, then through trial and error, learned how to troubleshoot boards using the board diagrams and testing the circuits and learned a top-level understanding of how electrical systems worked. I used this knowledge to repair family/friends' devices, ranging from a screen replacement to a full-on USB drive data recovery by taking the NAND off the board and returning valuable photos. By word of mouth, I get a few repairs occasionally, and I continue to learn and watch the electronics industry evolve and pose new challenges. Every new generation of t devices that comes out is different; it keeps me on my toes, and I love it!
